The guys discuss Lamar Jackson's comments on The Shop, that blacks are still facing racial bias at the QB position. Its dying off but it is still there. Discussion on the situation involving WNBA star Britney Griner's arrest in Russia. We don't have all of the answers. There is so much at play in this situation. We don't know if she really did what she is accused of or is being used as a political carrot.
Allison Feaster - Boston Celtics VP of Player Development & Organizational Growth
Explains her role with the Celtics. She reports directly to Brad Stevens, spends time with the coaching staff and the community. Allison serves as a co-lead for Boston Celtics United, the team’s social justice initiative to impact social and racial inequities in Black and Brown communities in Greater Boston. Mentoring is crucial. Allison had folks see something in her that she didn't see in herself. That's powerful to hear. She hopes to play that role going forward to the youth. The NBA and subsidiary leagues do a great job of putting folks who have benefitted from programs front and center. This leads to the door opening for the next generation. Takes the position seriously and recognizes how important it is that she is in the space she is in. Representation matters. Boston Celtics United prides itself on being a community organization. Celtics United includes a 25 million dollar commitment in the community. In celebration of Women’s History Month, BCU visited the Museum of African American History with female students to learn about historical women leaders. Feels fortunate to be with a caring organization that tries to figure out how to get better.
