If it were not for a part-time Ottawa scout who convinced the Kings to take a chance on the skinny eighteen year-old in the ninth round of the 1984 draft, Luc may not have been picked at all. By the end of his first season, though, everybody knew Luc's name after notching the Calder Trophy as the league's top rookie. In fact, Luc scored forty or more goals in each of his first eight seasons, including three fifty goal seasons during that stretch. Nineteen seasons later, Luc retired as the highest scoring Left Winger in NHL history, notching a Stanley Cup, as well as, being voted in as one of the '100 Greatest Players in NHL History' by his contemporaries.

It was twenty below zero when he left. He arrived with his family to seventy-degree weather, orange blossoms in the air, nine suitcases, and three hundred bucks in his pocket. He never looked back. Fifty years and five professional franchises later, Jerry is today known as the man who brought Baseball, Hockey, the WNBA, and Arena Football to Arizona. Growing up in a poor neighborhood of Chicago, Jerry has never forgotten his humble beginning.

From her star college basketball playing days at the University of Virginia, Val was one of the first recipients of Title Nine, offering a level playing field to both male and female college athletes. Working as a staff attorney for the NBA, Val took her experiences with her to USA Basketball where she became the driving force behind creating the women's first national team which culminated in a gold medal at the Atlanta 1996 Olympics. With the success of this team, Val created the WNBA, launching the professional careers of some of the first stars of the league.

After his sophomore year at Bowling Green State University, he decided to quit the baseball team and hitchhike home to work for his father's paper company. During that time, he grew a couple of inches, gained a few pounds, took some summer school classes, and decided to give it another shot. Back on the team, Orel's Fastball had gained more velocity, had better control, and had scouts intrigued but only enough to get him selected in the seventeenth round of the MLB draft. The knock on him had been he's too soft, not aggressive enough, and mentally rattles easily. In walks legendary Dodgers Manager, Tommy Lasorda, who realizes it's Orel's mental approach to the game that needs tweaking. With a new nickname and mentality, Orel starts to dominate on the mound and in 1988, he puts together one of the most dominating seasons of all-time leading all pitchers in almost every statistical category, breaking Don Drysdale's 59 inning scoreless streak, winning the Cy Young, the Gold Glove, World Series MVP, and MLB Championship in one of the greatest World Series games of all-time. Today, Orel can be found in the Dodgers broadcast booth doing color alongside Joe Davis.

But Mike is more than a legendary coach, he is a teacher and a mentor to young student-athletes hoping to take their talents to the next level. From his humble beginnings in a blue-collar Polish neighborhood of Chicago, Coach K learned the value of hard work and education from his working-class parents who were determined to give their children the best education they could provide. When a young Bob Knight offered him a scholarship to play basketball at Army, he jumped at the chance. There he learned Coach Knight's West Coast Offense that ultimately morphed into the Motion Offense that Mike brought with him to Duke. Even after breaking almost every coaching record there is, Mike is still just as hungry to win and mold his young men into not just NBA talent, but exceptional people with great values. We sat down with Mike this week at The Wynn in Las Vegas to discuss his time as head coach of USA Basketball, stories from the 1992 Dream Team, the state of the current NCAA basketball system and so much more.

Peter tells us what he learned about location-based entertainment in the movie industry and how he successfully applied it to the live sports experience becoming the co-owner of the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Dodgers, MLS' newest franchise, LAFC, and one of the most successful ESports franchises, Team Liquid. Additionally, we hear more about Peter's enduring commitment to higher learning as a faculty professor at UCLA for the past four decades, as well as, his New York Times Best Seller, Tell To Win, a book about creating purposeful stories that can become powerful calls to action. As you'll hear in our memorable conversation, Peter contends that his franchise's success is largely due to his ability to hire exceptional people who may not be predictable choices.
