Not In My House (A Basketball Podcast)
We have a strong love for basketball and the doors that it can open outside of the game itself. We love to give current and former players, coaches, artists, and historians their recognition and the platform they deserve to tell their story and teach our listeners about the game and applying lessons we learn from hoops to everyday life. We don't care for hot takes, we don't care for debates but we do care about giving back to the game and giving people the recognition they deserve for their hard work, dedication, their experiences and their knowledge to give our listeners and ourselves a better understanding of the game, the business, and life beyond hoops. We also like to have have fun! Any Questions? Suggestions? You can email us at Notinmyhousepodcast@gmail.com Much Love to you all! Twitter - @NOTINMYHOUSEpc Instagram- @not_in_my_house_podcast
Not In My House (A Basketball Podcast)
James Donaldson: Your Gift of Life (Former NBA All-Star)
We have an amazing guest for you all today that goes well beyond basketball. We have former NBA Allstar James Donaldson in the house for an episode that will not only inspire you, but also speaks to those of us who may be going through something in our everyday lives. Donaldson shares his incredible journey in basketball, but also shares some personal life experiences that will truly help remind us of the importance of mental health awareness and the gift of life.
Donaldson’s basketball journey is far different than any guest’s we have had. He didn’t even begin to start playing basketball until his later high school years. He played 4 years at Washington State University where he continued to work hard and develop as basketball player. His work paid off where he saw meaningful minutes once his Junior season hit, and was on the NBA radar by the time he finished his college career. Donaldson was drafted in the 4th round of 1979 NBA Draft by the Seattle Supersonics. He went on to have a long and successful professional career in both the NBA and Overseas, which included an Allstar appearance in 1988 during his amazing run with the Dallas Mavericks.
Our time with Donaldson was truly one of the most memorable experiences we have ever had. The basketball stories are great, but everything that he has done and continues to do for others off the court is even more impressive. The topics we covered after the basketball talk are important ones and we can’t thank him enough for sharing his time with us. We know you will enjoy the stories and laughs, but we also know that we will all gain so much more beyond hoops. It is a reminder of mental health awareness and our value in life.
Thank You James Donaldson!
