Becoming UnDone 044 | ELEVATE, PART 2 with Chris Carr, NBA Veteran, SIU Saluki Basketball Legend, and Assistant Men's Basketball Coach, Drury University
In episode 43, we got to meet the fantastic Chris Carr, a seasoned NBA veteran who overcame humble beginnings in small town Missouri all the way to the NBA stage and beyond. In part 1, we got to hear Chris’s story of stolen skateboards, carried shoes, and incredible growth spurts on his way to a D1 scholarship at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where he helped the team to three straight NCAA appearances before declaring for the NBA draft. W heard Chris tell his tale of draft night, of making the crowded roster with the Phoenix Suns his rookie year, and going to the finals against an 18-year old Kobe Bryant in year two, In this episode, we get gritty and discuss the end of Chris’s playing career and the start of Chris 2.0 and now 3.0, a life as a basketball business owner and eventually a coach with dreams still ahead.
I’m glad you came back to give the second half of Chris’s story a listen. Stay tuned for
