This week’s conversation is with George Karl, the 6th winningest coach in NBA basketball history.
George coached the Cavs, Warriors, Sonics, Bucks, Nuggets and Kings over the span of 1,999 NBA games.
He was also an All American player in college at the University of North Carolina and played in the ABA for the San Antonio Spurs.
At UNC, George had the fortune of being mentored by the late Dean Smith and was surrounded by other brilliant basketball minds who helped shape his coaching philosophy.
George has never been one to hold back and the same can be said for this conversation.
He has some amazing stories to share, including his experiences coaching future Hall of Famer’s Ray Allen and Carmelo Anthony and what it was like going up against Michael Jordan in the NBA Finals.
We talk success, we talk failure, and we discuss why finding purpose in his post-coaching life has been challenging.
Beyond basketball, George is a three-time cancer survivor so he’s a fighter, he’s resilient by nature.
