The Bruthas were honored this week to be joined by two-time NBA champion and all-star David West. After a celebrated 15-year career, Mr. West has retired from the game of basketball, but not the game of life. In fact, he appears to be busier than ever as a philanthropist, activist and the COO of the upstart Historic Basketball League, which seeks to provide an alternative to the NCAA's "one and down" merry-go-round for top basketball recruits exiting high school. In this far-ranging interview, we get Mr. West's thoughts on his playing days, the role of black athletes/entertainers as it pertains to social issues, and the current exploitation of college athletes. With regards to the latter topic, we get a sneak peek at the HBL, which is expected to begin operations in 2021. Finally, we get Mr. West to give his Final Four of the remaining Democratic presidential field. You will be surprised by one of his picks, as well as some of the unique insights he delivered on a variety of topics. This is not an episode that you want to miss. And for more information on the HBL and how YOU can become involved as an investor, please visit them on the web at: https://www.hbleague.com
