In Legends and Soles, Sonny Vaccaro, in collaboration with 11-time Emmy-award winner and six-time New York Times bestselling author Armen Keteyian, peels back the layers of sensational media stories and headlines, providing an unvarnished look at his pivotal role not only in Michael Jordan's ascent as arguably the world's most famous-and richest-athlete, but Vaccaro's other consequential relationships, including those with Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady. He reflects on the crushing disappointments, as well, detailing the shocking eleventh hour betrayal by Adidas that led to the loss of a then-18-year-old phenom, LeBron James. He describes reaching a career-defining "inflection point" where he abandoned the shoe industry entirely to pursue his advocacy of athlete's rights bringing readers into the tense, landscape-altering nine-year drama behind the O'Bannon federal lawsuit that changed the face of college sports.Considered basketball's ultimate insider, Vaccaro remains a formidable, passionate voice in the worlds of sports marketing and collegiate sports. His visionary promotional innovations-beginning with the signing of college coaches to Nike endorsement deals followed by the signing of Jordan, revolutionized sports marketing. An outspoken advocate for the rights of athletes, he was the catalyst behind the landmark Supreme Court decision giving control of Name/Image/Likeness (NIL) rights to tens of thousands of college athletes, recently affirmed by the historic $2.8 billion settlement by the NCAA and major conferences opening the door to fair compensation for the real stars-the athletes themselves. Recently he was the central character in the hit movie Air, directed by Ben Affleck and starring Matt Damon as Sonny, exploring a four-month snapshot of his extraordinary eight-decade life. Vaccaro, still an affable and outspoken personality, resides on the West Coast with his wife, Pam. "There have been literally thousands of stories written and broadcast about me over the years," said Vaccaro, "but this time the story is being told by the only person capable of setting the record straight-about Michael, getting blindsided when Phil Knight fired me, my battles with the NCAA, the seminal O'Bannon lawsuit, and many other personal revelations even my closest friends don't know. And I've got the documents to back up every last word." This memoir is far from a recounting of events; rather it's the never-before-told journey of a middle-class kid from a small steel town in western Pennsylvania who rose to the top of a mountain-a rich, revealing tapestry of relationships, triumphs, and challenges through the world of sports, business, and culture told by a man at the epicenter of it all, at Nike and beyond. With a 16-page photo insert illuminating some of Vaccaro's most treasured career memories, Legends and Soles is the long-awaited memoir of a giant of American sports.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On the anniversary of the Patriots losing in WILD fashion to the Giants in the Super Bowl, we talk about the craziest endings to games we can remember. Candidates include the Tracy McGrady flurry to beat the Rockets, the Reggie Miller game against the Knicks and Kobe outscoring the Mavericks in just three quarters. And in honor of Jalen Smith wearing a house on his head at the Grammys, we talk about some of the crazies things we’ve seen people wear out in public. Rob also weighs in on how excited he is for the new Captain America flick and just how bad the Sony Marvel flicks have been now that we’ve seen Kraven the Hunter. Listeners also want to know when the last time Rob played actual basketball or if he’s just too old, and he jokes that every time he tries to get after it he ends up hurting himself. Plus one of our buddies was so excited to go to the Super Bowl that he accidentally left his luggage behind at the house, which prompts a conversation about stuff we left behind on vacation. And after a listener turned his parent on to Little Caesars, we all talk about the food or restaurants that we were turned on to, or turned other people on to.

In a lot of ways, an NBA locker room is like a family. With all the good times, and the bad times, the brotherhood, and the infighting, family is the perfect metaphor. But the family dynamic in the NBA often extends to actual family, over 10% of the 4500 players to have ever played in the NBA are directly related either as brothers, as father and son, as cousins, as grandfather and grandson, or as uncle and nephew. In many cases, one family member outshines the rest. But occasionally, multiple branches of the same family tree achieve stardom. Today, we take the NBA time machine back to the late 90s and 2000s, and explore the lives of two family members who hit the highest echelons of the NBA, but failed to take the final steps into NBA immortality Join us in PART 1 OF 2 as we look at the lives and times of two cousins from Flordia who became NBA household names: Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady. Today Calvan talks to us about T-Mac. In Part 1 Josh talked about Vince. This is once upon a dribble!

Tracy McGrady says Steph Curry still has not cracked his Top 10 all time, so the debate ensues from the start of the bonus show about where (if at all) he’d fall on our lists. And after Luka got his beer poached in the WCF celebration, we ask Rob what those locker rooms are like after a big win… and Rob says there was NO celebration after winning the Conference Finals when he played, they just went home and started working on the next series. We also have an American Gladiators reboot coming to Prime, so we get into some of our favorite shows from our youth that we think deserve a reboot. Listeners want to know how much of the Olympics Rob will watch this summer, and which sports, plus did Rob ever go the celibacy route like Lenny Kravitz, and a look at Justin Jefferson’s record setting NFL contract has us taking a look at the deficiencies of other NFL teams. And the argument about who the best player in the league is between Jokic, Luka and Giannis.
