Recorded live at the Sixth Street offsite in Austin, Texas. Former Golden State Warriors President, NBA Hall of Famer, and Bay FC board member Rick Welts joins our host David Stiepleman to talk about pioneering moments in the history of the NBA, including the inception of the Slam Dunk Contest and All-Star Weekend. Rick and David also discuss the key trends driving the future of sports.

This is a special episode to kick off Pride Month as Rick has not only been recognized for the innovative thinking he introduced to the NBA, but for his leadership in advocating for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sports by proudly embracing his own identity and encouraging others to do the same. His story about coming out on the front page of The New York Times in 2011 is worth tuning in for.
