Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The NBA will hold its annual draft on Thursday — an opportunity for professional teams to pluck from among the most talented young basketball players in the world. The league now requires prospects to wait at least a year after their high school graduation to be eligible for the draft. Sportswriter Dave Zirin joins Kojo to explore whether this rule is fair to young players who are good enough to play professionally and earn a wage and how it affects the integrity of collegiate athletics.
