No, that pod title is not a typo. Yes, the Warriors actually selected a high school girl in the 1969 NBA Draft and for one memorable year, Denise Long took the city by storm. With help from San Francisco Chronicle columnist, Scott Ostler, we learn why the team picked the small-town Iowan knowing the selection was against NBA rules, what happened after the draft, and where Denise is now. To read Scott’s article on Denise and see some clips of the high school phenom in action, visit: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/ostler/article/Warriors-most-shocking-draft-pick-A-high-school-15187849.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=share-by-email&utm_medium=email For a free 90 day subscription visit: http://theathletic.com/free90days
