Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
He began coaching in 1946 and led our local basketball team "The Washington Capitals" to two division titles in his first three years. But it was Red Auerbach’s tenure with the Boston Celtics that made him "the greatest coach ever in the history of the NBA," as voted by the Professional Basketball Writers Association. Auerbach joins Kojo to reflect on life and basketball.
