What a tremendous pleasure it was last night to sit and listen to the one and only Frank Deford. Inhis honor I wore my #19 throwback to the event and he immediately could not stop talking about Johnny U once he spotted the jersey. Some of his topics;
Frank went into lengthy discussion on his relationship with Wilt Chamberlain and the personal rivalry with Bill Russell.
When asked about the greatest game he remembered, he quickly talked about 1958.
Deford covered many other topics—Title IX, the concussion problem in sports, Bountygate, and much more.
I believe the talk will be on NPR and I will let you know when it is on.
