  • Summary

  • Hall of Famer Spencer Haywood is one of the most significant figures in American sports history. He was born into poverty, working in the cotton fields of Mississippi until he left as a 14 year old in 1964 and went to live with his brother in Detroit. What followed was a legendary career as a 1968 Olympic gold medalist, ABA superstar, NBA All Star, and member of the 1980 Lakers championship team. But the road to success was challenging and the word "hardship" became forever associated with his name. Listen as he describes his journey and the indelible mark he left on the NBA and how his courage allowed future generations of players unprecedented opportunities.
