We know, we know, these are crazy times in college sports. But maybe, amid all the tensions and uncertainty of conference realignment, what we really need at a time like this is some good old fashioned funny sibling rivalry. Toward that end, the DBR Podcast sat down with the Kelly boys. Ryan and Sean Kelly are among a select few brothers in college basketball history to win each win a national title and boy do they have a lot of great stories to tell. From Ryan's amazing 36-point return from injury game against Miami to Sean's one and only field goal attempt in his college career we get all the inside info on how each brother experienced Duke basketball. Sean tells us about his time as a manager for the team and those insane sprints to the locker room while Ryan reflects on his former teammate, Jon Scheyer, who is about to embark on his first season as Duke's head coach. It is one of the most interesting interviews we've ever done on the DBR podcast and we know you will enjoy it. Oh, and Sean mentions that he is running in the NYC Marathon later this year to raise funds for the Jimmy V Foundation and its battle against cancer. Sean says he is running to honor Coach K's final season. He is asking all Duke fans to support this worthy cause by visiting his Jimmy V fundraising website at: https://vfoundation.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=3446 Learn more about your ad choices.

Sean Swarner was the recipient of the Don't Ever Give Up Award presented by the Jimmy V Foundation and ESPN in 2007. He is a two-time cancer survivor who was first diagnosed at age 13 with Hodgkin's Disease and later with Askin's sarcoma. He was given just two weeks to live in 1990 and is believed to be the only person in the world to ever have been diagnosed with both these deadly cancers. Sean told ESPN Radio's Bob Valvano, brother of Jimmy, that he would have been more likely to win the lottery four or five times than to have survived both these cancers. However, he did survive, although he has only one fully functioning lung due to the removal of a golf ball-sized tumor found with the Askin's diagnoses. He graduated from Willard High School in Willard, Ohio, in 1993, and Westminster College in 1997. Sean was featured on ESPN (July 27, 2007) with a 10-minute segment on his life story and struggle. He established his own foundation (The Cancer Climber Association) which promotes cancer awareness and helps raise money for cancer research. He also authored his book Keep Climbing, which recounts his story and journey from the depths of his near-death experience to the peaks he climbed to reach the top of the world 17 years later. On October 11, 2008, Sean completed the Ford Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, HI with a final time of 11:44:15. On May 16, 2002, Sean summited Mount Everest.  Sean Swarner was born on September 2, 1974 in Ohio, United States of America. NEXT STEPS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST: 1.
