Welcome to another episode of the "I Am Dad" podcast! Today, we are thrilled to have with us an extraordinary guest, Tim Gittens. Growing up in Harlem, Tim faced significant hardships, but he defied the odds and used basketball as a vehicle to rise above and achieve greatness.
Tim has become one of the most influential figures in basketball over the last 20 years. He has had an impressive professional career, playing in the NBA and internationally, including with the Harlem Globetrotters and as a founding member of the renowned And 1 Streetball Team.
