His basketball story is like no other and we get to learn all about it.Joe Alexander's journey is hoops is about as unique as it gets.

He played with Milwaukee, Chicago and then went on to have a successful career overseas.Joe shares great stories about growing up in China, recruiting process, Bob Huggins, NCAA tourney run, Draft night, Charlie Bell, Shaq, Richard Jefferson, wild experiences overseas, his book and MUCH more!Big thanks to Joe Alexander for taking the time to hang out with us today. Joe tells it exactly how it is and tells us NOT what you want to hear, but what you should hear. That is exactly how his book will be and we know his book is going to have a huge impact in the basketball world. We can't thank Joe enough for his time.Thanks Joe Alexander!Be sure to follow his YouTube page and give his page a follow to keep up for when his book is released!https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCsX4ObOI99aNdLexJWcWzHg?fbclid=PAAaaglfWGfGBoQsV0mjsMDqkrLrhaGhUTRmsHe2pK6P0TEsCPRDKV3kZI-m4Follow us on social media for news, updates and highlight reels!Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/notin.myhouse.79Instagram- @Not_in_my_house_podcastTwitter - @NOTINMYHOUSEpc

SIU is finally represented on this podcast! We got SIU & Carbondale legend Johnny Fayne on the show today for one of the most fun episodes we've had. He was one of the first names that former guest, Stephen Bardo, brought up when talking about the best to come out of the area, and Zach's dad had the chance to play against Fayne so this one was a special treat. Fayne was a decorated high school player at Carbondale Community High School and a key member of those early 80's SIU teams. The strong frame along with his amazing handle and guard skills made him a TOUGH cover for all of those that he went up against. Fayne tells us about Attucks Park, Larry Bird, Earl Monroe, Dominque Wilkins, Kevin McHale, Dodge City CC, SIU, Derek Harper, Paul Pressey, Fresh Start Facility Services, and MUCH more!BIG Thanks to Johnny Fayne for all of the laughs and amazing basketball and business stories. We of course have respect for the amazing players in the game of hoops, but we really admire what athletes do AFTER the ball is done bouncing. The success of Johnny Fayne after basketball is what we should all strive for.Thank you Johnny Fayne!You can find this episode on Apple, Spotify or any source for podcasts.Follow us on social media for news, updates and highlight reels!Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/notin.myhouse.79Instagram- @Not_in_my_house_podcastTwitter - @NOTINMYHOUSEpc
