We have our first Alabama A&M alumnus on the show! Mickell Gladness drops in to share his inspiring journey in hoops for an episode that you will all enjoy. Sometimes you don’t have to grow up being the star to get to where you want to be with this game and this episode is a great example of that.
Gladness was never the star in basketball growing up. He went to Lawson CC out of high school before playing his last 3 years of college at Alabama A&M. He led the nation in blocks per game with a 6.3 average and set the NCAA record, surpassing David Robinson with 16 blocks in a single game. After not being selected in the 2004 NBA Draft, Gladness had to fight for an NBA roster spot where he played with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh in Miami, and a young Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the Golden State. Gladness went on to have great success overseas and even had a stop in Reno with our Reno Bighorns. Mickell shares great stories about Gerald Wallace, Jamario Moon, LeBron, D-Wade, Bosh, Luka Doncic, Dwight Howard, Reno, Mike Atkinson, experiences overseas, coaching and MUCH more!
It was truly an honor having Mickell on the podcast and we can’t thank him enough for his time. We are forever grateful for him taking the time to share his journey in basketball and all of the great things that he has in the works. Definitely a great listen for all of the young hoopers coming up!
Thank you Mickell Gladness!
