Andscape at the NBA Finals: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's DAD on Father's Day, raising an MVP

Описание: In this special Father's Day episode, Andscape’s William C. Rhoden and Marc J. Spears went to legendary Crispus Attucks High School in Indianapolis for a conversation with Vaughan Alexander, the father of Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and uncle of Minnesota Timberwolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker. They discussed what Father's Day means to Vaughan (0:46), how a kid with a dream makes it to the NBA level (1:38), how much of making it to the NBA is talent versus drive (3:30), the perception and reality of NBA players and their fathers (4:39), how Vaughan continues to be a father to Shai despite his son's wealth and stardom (7:18), if there are still moments Vaughan is awestruck and excited by his son's play (8:43), what advice Vaughan has for parents of athletes (9:59), being a grandfather (11:11), Vaughan's growing celebrity (11:40) and a huge announcement about Vaughan's upcoming podcast "Basketball Dads: Creators of Greatness," about how to get young athletes to be great human beings (12:52).
