  • Summary

  • Ever wonder why Stephen Curry always points to the sky after sinking a three-pointer? Finally, the secret’s out.

    Presented by Stephen Curry’s Unanimous Media, The Greatest Sports Stories Never Told is a series of true stories hand-picked by the NBA super-shooter. These stories can’t be found in world record books or on the backs of trading cards. This Audible Original celebrates the most epic sports legends, both on and off the field, that the world has never known. Until now. 

    How did Wally Green grow from gang member to ping-pong great? In another life, would Country Music Hall of Famer Charley Pride have been a pro pitcher? Who is Valentino Dixon, and how did paintings of golf courses exonerate him from a murder he didn’t commit? 

    The Greatest Sports Stories Never Told, narrated by veteran ESPN commentator Joe Tessitore, features first-hand accounts from the athletes, artists, and heroes who broke boundaries, overcame adversity, and built legacies from the world’s greatest games. Listen to PA announcer Aaron “Showtime” Taylor, the strongest sisterhood in the WNBA, Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike, special guests like country music legends Darius Rucker and Jimmie Allen, and more. 

    At last, their stories are being heard.
