News of this week’s passing of former University of Southwestern Louisiana (now UL-Lafayette) basketball star Dwight “Bo” Lamar sparked a lot of memories.  Lamar was 74 and passed away at a nursing home in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio. College basketball in Louisiana when Lamar played during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s was filled with dominant scorers and very little defense.  The word “defense” seemed to have been banned during this period. Explosive offense had become the name of the game. This brief period was defined by expert marksmanship and crowd-pleasing showmanship.  The high scoring antics of college basketball players like LSU’s “Pistol” Pete Maravich and the University of Houston’s “Big E” Elvin Hayes (born in Rayville, Louisiana) captured the imagination of fans. Less than an hour west of Pistol Pete Maravich and LSU, Bo Lamar and the USL Ragin’ Cajuns were entertaining fans in front of packed basketball arenas, too. Lamar was a virtual basketball scoring machine for the Ragin’ Cajuns from 1969-1973.  He averaged 31.2 points per game over his entire four-year college basketball career.  A first-team All-American as a senior, he was joined on that squad by future basketball Hall-of-Famers Bill Walton of UCLA and David Thompson of North Carolina State. The 6’2” Bo Lamar had one of the best jump shots I have ever seen. He elevated off the floor with ease and then lofted up a high arcing shot from long-distance.  This came nearly 20 years before college basketball would adopt the three-point shot.  He would have averaged over 40 points per game with today’s three-point line. Bo Lamar glided down the basketball court with ease in leading USL’s frantic fast breaks.  He bombed-in a school-record 62 points during a game against Northeast Louisiana University (now UL-Monroe). Scoreboards routinely registered more than 100 points during Ragin’ Cajun basketball games in this era. A 1984 Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame inductee, Bo Lamar opted to play professional basketball for the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors in 1973.  He scored 50 points in one game during his rookie year while averaging nearly 21 points per game. After several years in the pro ranks, Lamar later became part of the radio broadcast team for Ragin’ Cajuns basketball games. Mike Green at Louisiana Tech became one of Bo Lamar’s biggest foes If you have watched current NBA star Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets, he looks and plays like a modern version of former Louisiana Tech basketball star, Mike Green.  The 6’10” Green played for the Bulldogs from 1969-1974. Mike Green was listed as a center but possessed an incredible outside shooting touch to stretch the opposing defenses. Like Bo Lamar at USL, Green was a prolific college basketball scorer.  He averaged 31 points per game as a senior at Louisiana Tech.  Add a 15.4 rebounds per game career average, and you understand why Mike Green earned the AP’s Small College Player of the Year award in 1973. He was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1996. A friend of mine attended Louisiana Tech in 1971 during the Mike Green basketball era. He recalled a highly anticipated home game against high-scoring Bo Lamar and the nationally ranked Ragin’ Cajuns.  Fans lined up for hours hoping to gain entrance to watch this game.  Mike Green scored 22 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and blocked numerous shots as the Bulldogs raced to 103-94 win at Tech’s Memorial Gymnasium. Future Louisiana Tech Hall-of-Fame women’s basketball coach Leon Barmore also witnessed that encounter.  He recalled, “It was the greatest game ever at Louisiana Tech – bar none!” While he was a sophomore, Mike Green’s Louisiana Tech team averaged 101 points per game for the entire season. Defense?  What defense? Mike Green passed away in 2018 at the age of 67. Time to celebrate Centenary College center Robert Parish! Shreveport’s 7’1” center Robert Parish took Louisiana’s top college basketball player baton from Bo Lamar and Mike Green during the early 1970’s. Robert Parish played high school basketball in the late 1960’s during a difficult time when federal integration mandates forced some schools to close.  Parish and his fellow Union High School students suddenly found themselves being bussed to nearby Woodlawn High School. Though this period caused angst for both students and teachers, Woodlawn’s basketball team morphed into a state powerhouse with the addition of talented center Robert Parish. He led Shreveport’s Woodlawn High School to the Class 4A state basketball title as a senior in 1972.  Parish was named a national high school All-American. To the dismay of national college recruiters, Robert Parish chose to stay in Shreveport and attend Centenary College.  As a freshman, Parish lined-up to play in one game against Louisiana Tech’s talented senior big man Mike Green. Green dazzled the crowd by scoring 40 points on the young Robert Parish. Robert Parish continued to work and improve his game every year.  He collected a school record 33 rebounds in one game.  Parish’ gifted shooting touch produced 25 points per game for Centenary.  His dominant offensive and defensive play as a senior led to a first-team college basketball All-America selection. Parish became a first round draft choice of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors. Traded four years later to the Boston Celtics, Robert Parish (along with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale) won three NBA titles and played 21 seasons in the NBA.  Parish was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Naismith Basketball Hall-of-Fame in 2003. Have you heard of Olympic gold medal winner Glynn Saulters? Today’s story about talented Louisiana college basketball stars of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s wouldn’t be complete without mentioning an Olympic gold medal winner. In the year 1968, Northeast Louisiana University (now ULM) basketball star Grady Glynn Saulters was nearly invisible on the national college basketball stage. The Lisbon, Louisiana native didn’t possess the blazing court speed of Southwestern Louisiana’s Bo Lamar or the shot-blocking skills of Louisiana Tech’s Mike Green. Oh, but Glynn Saulters could shoot a basketball with the best of them. He became a prolific college scorer. Saulters averaged a nifty 31 points per game as a senior in 1968 to lead the Gulf States Conference in scoring.  Not too shabby. The Olympics games were being held in Mexico City a few months following Saulters’ senior season.  The year 1968 was an extremely politically charged period as Dr. Martin Luther King and presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.  Several top college basketball players such as Lew Alcindor and Elvin Hayes decided not to even try-out for the US Olympic team in 1968. That opened the door for NLU’s 6’2” guard Glynn Saulters to qualify for the Olympic basketball team. His competition included stars like high-scoring Pistol Pete Maravich of LSU and Niagara guard Calvin Murphy.  Surprisingly, neither Maravich nor Murphy made the final cut.  Ditto for Kentucky’s Dan Issel and Purdue sharpshooter Rick Mount. But Glynn Saulters from tiny Class “C” Lisbon High School in north Louisiana made the US team. Legendary college basketball coach Hank Iba’s “No Name” US Olympic basketball squad was comprised of several small college role players and just a few top college stars. Future NBA Hall-of-Fame forward Spencer Haywood and guard JoJo White led the US team in scoring.  Glynn Saulters and the US Olympic team went a perfect 9-0 in Mexico City to bring home the gold medal. Glynn Saulters was inducted into the ULM Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1978 and into the Louisiana Sports Hall-of-Fame in 1981. Don’t forget “AJ from the Parking Lot!” New Orleans’ Cohen High School basketball player Aaron James journeyed northward from the Crescent City to Grambling State University to begin a memorable college basketball career.  The 6’8” sharpshooting forward poured in more than 32 points per game as a senior at Grambling to become the Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year in ’73-74.  He earned the nickname “AJ from the Parking Lot” for his uncanny accuracy on long-distance shots.  Aaron James was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. Minden and Webster High School product Louis “Sweet Lou” Dunbar was another prolific high school scoring sensation.  This 6’9” big man also possessed a sweet jump shot.  Dunbar received numerous college scholarship offers and left his home state to play for the University of Houston in the early 1970’s.  He averaged 22 points and eight rebounds over his career with the Cougars. Louis Dunbar would join the Harlem Globetrotters and play for the next 27 years!  “Sweet Lou” is one of only eight Globetrotters to have his jersey (#41) retired.  Dunbar was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2020.   Let’s not forget Shreveport Valencia High School basketball star Roosevelt Fuller.  This silky-smooth high-scoring guard torched the nets for 64 points in a Shreveport high school basketball game in the late 1960’s.  Fuller averaged an incredible 44 points per game one season at Valencia High. He played college hoops from 1970-1972 at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, TX. He still holds the school scoring record of 53 points and posted a 28 points per game average as a sophomore.  Roosevelt Fuller was inducted into the Trinity Valley Sports Hall of Fame in 2025. No, it wasn’t just Pistol Pete Maravich exciting Louisiana’s basketball fans during the late 1960’s into the early 70’s. This week’s passing of Dwight “Bo” Lamar served as a reminder of just how special his era of basketball was in the Pelican State.

Ele foi um xadrezista prodígio. Dos 5 aos 10 anos de idade, aprendeu a dar xeque-mate em seu professor. Seu pai, jornalista, fez carreira na Editora Abril, e sua mãe, formada na primeira turma do curso superior de Turismo, trabalhava na Secretaria de Esportes e Turismo do Estado de São Paulo. Por isso, ele cresceu frequentando os diversos eventos esportivos realizados no Ginásio do Ibirapuera. De lutas de boxe ao Mundial de Ginástica, dos shows dos Globetrotters às partidas das seleções nacionais de vôlei e basquete. Viu também de perto o Campeonato Pan-Americano de Ciclismo realizado na USP. A bicicleta teve um espaço importante em sua infância, como um meio libertador de locomoção. Os esportes com bola nunca foram seu forte, mas foi na educação física escolar que ele teve o primeiro contato com a corrida. Quando tinha 15 anos de idade, um mergulho na piscina perfurou seu tímpano, iniciando um processo de perda da audição. Aos 20 anos, começou a correr esporadicamente, ao mesmo tempo em que trabalhava. Quase dez anos depois, em 1994, estava correndo na pista de cooper do Parque do Ibirapuera quando viu uma competição organizada pela Corpore e descobriu que havia outras corridas de rua além da São Silvestre. Informou-se ali mesmo sobre como poderia participar da próxima competição e desde então, iniciou sua relação com as corridas de rua. Já no ano seguinte participou da primeira edição da Maratona de São Paulo. Em 1997 participou da Maratona de Nova Iorque, onde fez outra descoberta importante: o site do New York Road Runners. Teve então a ideia e lançou, em 1999, o site maratona.com.br, a primeira plataforma digital brasileira focada em corrida. Ainda permaneceu alguns anos trabalhando no mundo corporativo antes de se dedicar exclusivamente ao jornalismo esportivo. Em 2002, tornou-se sócio da Webventure, que passou a se chamar Webrun,  onde ficou até 2010. Depois, criou o site Running News, tornou-se colunista do portal Ativo, da revista Sport Life e lançou alguns episódios de seu primeiro podcast, o Harry Up! Seja pela profissão ou por lazer, a corrida se fundiu à sua vida e, ao longo das últimas três décadas, ele participou de mais de 30 maratonas no asfalto e na trilha, 60 meias maratonas e 9 ultratrails. Conosco aqui, o administrador com pós-graduação em marketing, jornalista esportivo pioneiro no mundo digital, empreendedor e corredor, autor de três livros sobre a corrida, criador e apresentador do podcast Grit Run, consultor em running, o paulistano Harry Thomas Júnior.

In the season 10 premiere of the Courage My Friends podcast series, we are pleased to welcome back journalist, author and director of the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, Vijay Prashad and professor of International Relations at St. Thomas University, Shaun Narine.  We discuss the recent US military attack on Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores, the Trump administration's new National Security Strategy (the so-called "Donroe Doctrine") and what this means for Canada, and how all of this is connected to the decline of US hegemony, the rise of Asia and the West's shift into hyper-imperialism. Speaking on the US National Security Strategy or the "Donroe Doctrine", Narine says: "They're actually saying, look, the Western Hemisphere is ours … And I think in a lot of ways, the Venezuela situation was an easy sort of first pass at asserting this …'Let's go in. Let's take out Maduro. And let's send the message to the entire region"... And of course, the message was received.And if I'm reading this correctly, and from Canada, they're making good on the threat that no country in the Western Hemisphere can do anything that the United States finds to be objectionable." On hyper-imperialism, Prashad explains: "The United States and its European partners … hollowed out the manufacturing. Hollowed out science and technology. Hollowed out the universities … and find suddenly the center of gravity of the world economy shifting to Asia … They've lost the source of power they used to have over raw materials, over finance, over science and technology. But two sources of power remain. One of them is military power … The other source of power is the power of information … And they use it pretty effectively to try to dampen other powers. But there are contradictions." About today's guests:  Vijay Prashad is an Indian historian and journalist. Prashad is the author of forty books, including Washington Bullets, Red Star Over the Third World, The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World, The Poorer Nations: A Possible History of the Global South, and The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the Fragility of U.S. Power. His most recent book, with Grieve Chelwa, is How the International Monetary Fund Suffocates Africa (Johannesburg: Inkani Books, 2026). Prashad is director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and chief correspondent for Globetrotter. He is an editor at LeftWord Books (New Delhi), at Inkani Books (Johannesburg), and at La Trocha (Chile). He has appeared in two films – Shadow World (2016) and Two Meetings (2017). Shaun Narine is a professor of International Relations at St. Thomas University in Fredericton. He specializes in studying institutions in the Asia Pacific but has also written and commented on Canadian and US foreign policy and great power politics, including the rise of China.                                  Transcript of this episode can be accessed at georgebrown.ca/TommyDouglasInstitute or here.  Image: Vijay Prashad, Shaun Narine  / Used with permission.

All-Black basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters travelled to Hinckley, Illinois on 7th January, 1927 - setting them on a barnstorming journey through the Midwest, the nation, and eventually the world…  Their manager, Abe Saperstein, was obsessed with basketball, stitching together tours at a time when Black athletes were locked out of most professional leagues. His re-brand of the team to the “Harlem Globetrotters” symbolised Black culture and creativity at a time of sports segregation, even though the team were actually from Chicago. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly compare contrasting stories of how ‘the Savoy Big Five' evolved into the Globetrotters; explain why showboating, humour and spectacle were always part of the group's demonstrations, despite their immense talent; and examine how the team helped introduce America to Black sporting excellence…   Further Reading: • ‘The Harlem Globetrotters: 99 years of basketball, variety and ‘Showtime'' (The Athletic, 2025): https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6118506/2025/02/10/harlem-globetrotters-black-history-month-99-years/ • ‘How Harlem Globetrotters founder Abe Saperstein shaped basketball as we know it today'  (The Times of Israel, 2024): https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-harlem-globetrotters-founder-abe-saperstein-shaped-basketball-as-we-know-it-today/ • ‘Best of the Harlem Globetrotters' (Guinness World Records, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDQLhK-flVE #Sport #20s #Black #Racism #US Love the show?

In dieser Folge von „Mein Abenteuer“ begrüßt Reiner Meutsch einen Mann, der die Welt nicht nur bereist, sondern sie bis an ihre Grenzen erlebt hat: Jochen Barnack aus Wiesbaden. Über 100 Länder hat der Globetrotter erkundet – per Anhalter, auf abenteuerlichen Routen und oft fernab jeder Komfortzone. Jochen erzählt von prägenden Kindheitsabenteuern mit Karl May und Jack London, von seiner ersten Tramptour nach England – und von Reisen, die lebensgefährlich wurden. Er berichtet von einer nächtlichen Flucht in den Bergen Afghanistans, von einem geheimen Diamantencamp im venezolanischen Dschungel, von einem Schiffsunglück in Südostasien und von einem tragischen Überfall in Kenia, bei dem ein Mitreisender erschossen wurde. Doch diese Episode ist mehr als eine Aneinanderreihung extremer Erlebnisse. Es geht um Angst, Mut, Grenzerfahrungen und darum, wie Abenteuer einen Menschen verändern. Offen, reflektiert und eindrucksvoll schildert Jochen Barnack, was es heißt, sich der Welt wirklich auszusetzen – und was davon bleibt. Eine packende Folge voller Fernweh, Spannung und bewegender Momente – Geschichten, bei denen die Welt den Atem anhält.

In this episode, we sit down with Canadian ballplayer Evan Symons to trace an unconventional and inspiring baseball journey, from little league in East Vancouver to becoming an overseas MVP. Evan shares how walking on at the University of Ottawa (Canada), helping transform its club program, and embracing leadership roles off the field prepared him for life abroad with BBJO. He reflects on his first overseas contract in the Austrian second division, a breakout season in his second season overseas, and the powerful community impact of coaching youth players. Evan also dives into his memorable performances with the Globetrotters at Finkstonball and the Milan tournament, being served dugout snacks by World Series winner Jeremy Guthrie, and overcoming long-standing “imposter syndrome.” It's a story of resilience, open-mindedness, and how playing overseas can completely change a player's confidence and their life.

In this episode of our "Gaza & the World" series, Helena Cobban talked with Vijay Prashad about the intersection of the genocide in Gaza and the shifting global balance of power. Vijay Prashad is a visionary global justice activist, the executive director of the Tri Continental Institute for Social Research, the editor of Left Word Books, the chief correspondent for Globetrotter, and a senior non-resident fellow at the Chong Yang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China. He was speaking with Cobban from Beijing.In this episode, Prashad argued that while the world's economic center of gravity had shifted away from the United States, the US maintained overwhelming dominance through its military and information power.  He discussed the role of China in providing an alternative economic pole, which allowed Global South nations to speak more freely against Western policies, arguing that the genocide in Gaza had exposed the moral bankruptcy of the West to the global majority and evoked historical memories of colonialism. [He contended that any discussion of post-conflict governance in Gaza was meaningless without the release of all Palestinian political leaders, whose imprisonment by Israel had crippled Palestinian political life. He concluded on a sobering note, saying that a direct confrontation with the US military was not currently feasible for rising powers and that meaningful change required a political transformation within the United States to dismantle its military-first approach to global affairs.Support the show

In Israel gibt es seit Sonntag landesweit Streiks. Hunderttausende Menschen gehen seither gegen die Kriegspläne der Regierung im Gazastreifen auf die Strasse. Sie fordern: Netanjahu soll ein Abkommen mit der Hamas schliessen, damit die verbliebenen Geiseln freikommen. Weitere Themen: · In China wird es für Korrespondentinnen und Korrespondenten zunehmend schwierig, über das Land zu berichten. Dies zeigt eine Umfrage unter ausländischen Journalistinnen und Journalisten. Der Bericht spricht von einer alarmierenden Ausweitung der Themen, die von den Behörden als sensibel eingestuft werden. · Die Social Media-App Tiktok ist in Albanien seit März verboten – vorerst für 12 Monate. Doch es gibt immer stärkere Zweifel, was die Gründe für das Verbot angeht. Die Regierung um Ministerpräsident Edi Rama hat mit dem Tiktok-Verbot auf den Tod eines Jugendlichen reagiert. So sollen Kinder und Jugendliche geschützt werden. · Tausende junge Menschen in der Schweiz haben in diesem August ihre Berufslehre angetreten und noch immer zeigt sich: Mädchen interessieren sich im Gegensatz zu Jungen tendenziell seltener für Berufe in der IT-Branche, bei Elektronik-Unternehmen oder in der Industrie. Eine neue Studie zeigt nun die Gründe dafür auf: Unter anderem die Vorstellungen, welche Jugendliche von einem Beruf haben, prägt die Berufswahl. · Reisen in die USA sind weniger gefragt: Für die Herbstferien verzeichnen verschiedene Reiseveranstalterinnen einen Rückgang, wie sie gegenüber SRF bestätigen. Bei beispielsweise Globetrotter beläuft sich der Rückgang um 20 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr.
