Father of NBA Star Documents Love of Basketball in Marvin Williams Sr.’s “Secondary Break”
In this episode 244, we visit with Marvin Williams Sr., author of “Secondary Break: An NBA Dad’s Story,” a powerful memoir of one father’s journey from his roots in Brooklyn to small-town North Carolina and the love of basketball instilled in both himself and his son, an NBA player for the Charlotte Hornets.
With sharp wit and stark honesty, Marvin recalls growing up in Brooklyn—with gangs, The Black Panther party, and a diversified community—and moving to rural North Carolina where segregation and racial prejudice reigned.
Voted "One of the best new basketball books" in Book Authority’s Top 25 must-reads in 2021, “Secondary Break” is perfect for any sports fan.
