THE ALL DAY SJ SHOW – (S1, EP9)

 

Guest: Chris Dorsey

As the first season of “The All Day SJ Show” begins to wrap up, it’s time to give the fans a platform.

When I created “The All Day SJ Show,” I aimed to not only have the best guests on the show, I wanted to produce content where my listeners could provide insight in addition to the well-known guests I had.

Joining this episode is one of those fans who I met on Twitter. Very vocal about his views on sports, Chris does not hold back on how he feels. It’s everything I envisioned when talking to fans and listeners of the show.

Take a listen and enjoy — we’re wrapping up the first season real soon.

Guest: Kendall Gill

This episode of “The All Day SJ Show” is a special one. Joining me for this edition is a true legend of Chicago Basketball in Kendall Gill.

Gill was a part of the “Flyin’ Illini” phenomenon, which was the golden age of Illinois Men’s Basketball. He was a lottery pick with the Charlotte Hornets in 1990, where he was drafted fifth overall. Gill was successful as a rookie, as he made the NBA-All Rookie First Team in 1991.

Known for his hard-nosed defense, Gill led the NBA in steals in 1999. He also is the co-holder of the NBA record for most steals in a game (11).

In this episode, we talk about the expectations for the Fighting Illini this season, as well as the “Flyin’ Illini” era. Kendall also talks about who was the toughest to guard between Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James… but who was the true G.O.A.T.? Kendall’s answer may surprise you…

Also on the show, we discuss the Bulls current rebuild and how long we have to wait to expect them to be contenders again.
