Join me as I talk with another legend in UAB sports, Robert Vaden! Robert shared his story about his journey from recruitment in high school to Indiana, then to UAB, and finally his professional career in the NBA G League and playing overseas. He also gave a great glimpse into the mind of a player preparing for games, playing in some of the biggest environments in basketball, and how it translates to his training of young players today. I really enjoyed this conversation, and I think you will too!
