The Ed O’Bannon Interview: Part I – Growing up in Los Angeles, developing a love for basketball, winning a NCAA title, and losing the passion for basketball in the NBA

Exavier is joined by former NCAA champion and named plaintiff for a landmark case versus the NCAA Ed O’Bannon. In Part I, O’Bannon discusses growing up in LA and avoiding gang activity; how his parents ongoing 44-year marriage impacted his work ethic, love for basketball and his role as a husband; what winning a championship at UCLA felt like; how flaming out quickly in the NBA made him lose his passion for basketball; and, the moment he decided to end his professional basketball career.
