The Open Run With Will Strickland

Episode 224 – BBall Bong Bong

On the last episode before our #PartsWellKnown Tour across Canada for The World’s Most Unique Basketball Tournament, Wall $t. summons the wonder twin powers of Los Hermanos Del Baloncesto by calling upon El Jefe Supremo of FC21 All World, Friend Of The Program and cultural renaissance man, Bobbito Garcia.

The guys do a deep dive on Bob’s latest project, a memoir called “Bobbito’s Book Of BBall Bong Bong”, and share why the growth of the only application of 1v5 basketball on the planet means so much to them and so many more.

Super Producer and #1 Dallas Mavericks fan Ryan Antonio Henry assists in talking the brave new world ahead for The Association in the post-draft aftermath of free agency, announce All Star starters and other exciting developments in The WNBA and exonerate Ace Bailey for what many feel was a failed attempt to have control over a career barely started.

The Open Run With Will Strickland

Episode 223 – Engagement Farming

We all join things to fit in… belong.

It could be the band, chess team, the military or a book club, but we join to be a part of something greater than ourselves.

This week, a new champion will be crowned in The Association, a basketball team rooted in teamwork making the dream work.

There will also be 59 young men, looking to be chosen to fulfill their dreams of belonging to a brotherhood that lasts for life.

It won’t be a drive-by, empty calorie, foul merchant activation for those who find their validation in The Attention Economy.

It will be so much more…

It will mean much more as well.

Soul Food.

Never Fast Food.

Episode 222 – Faded Pictures

Living in the past can be tough.

Nothing ever changes.

Not accepting the natural evolution of things can be even tougher.

We’re here to ease the transition toward acceptance, revolution… or both.

Wall $t. calls on former St. Bonaventure forward, 2x Nike Battlegrounds Toronto winner and head honcho of King Nation youth basketball club Vidal Massiah to run the wings with him on everything from the NBA Finals, Canadians battling forthe crown and what it means to his program and the country to The World’s Most Unique Basketball Tournament, family, love, life, loss and the ever-changing landscape of the NCAA and NIL.
