Description
This week on Knuckleheads we have one of the NBA’s craziest stories of all time, as Derek Anderson joins Q and D. DA details his journey from Louisville to hoop stardom. Parentless at 10 years old, father to a son at 15, he used basketball to help carry him through. He describes what it was like getting a scholarship to Ohio State, transferring to Kentucky, and how the NBA became a reality. DA is one of the few to have won a championship on both the college and NBA levels and his roller coaster journey of getting there is truly inspiring. Tune in.
