Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 1.6-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,732 on turnover of $3.5-billion N-T. MAC ban two Chinese nationals from World Masters Games The Mainland Affairs Council has denied two Chinese nationals registered for the upcoming World Masters Games entry onto Taiwan - citing concerns that they intended to disrupt the event with political messages. According to the council spokesperson Liang Wen-chieh, his office received reports of such planned actions from members of the public here in Taiwan, who have said some Chinese participants plan to use the event to push political agendas. Liang says the two banned individuals are suspected of planning to display the Chinese national flag and advocate (主張、提倡) for unification with Taiwan by force - and as such, his office had no choice but to reject their entry. However, the council spokesman also says that despite the two athletes being denied entry, it has approved entry permits for 371 other Chinese nationals to take part in the Games. The World Masters Games begins tomorrow in Taipei and New Taipei. US judge dismisses charges against migrants caught in military zone A federal judge has dismissed charges against nearly 100 migrants arrested for trespassing (非法侵入) on a newly declared US military zone on the border of the state of New Mexico. The ruling adds to the growing legal uncertainty surrounding President Trump's expansion (擴張) of military authority at the southern border. Ira Spitzer reports. Congo Soldiers Transferred to Goma Over a thousand disarmed Congolese soldiers and police officers, along with their families have safely been transferred from the rebel-controlled city of Goma in eastern Congo to the capital Kinshasa over the last two weeks. On Thursday, the International Committee of the Red Cross said it helped escort the 1,359 disarmed members of the government forces. The soldiers and police officers had been taking refuge at a United Nations base since January, when the decades-long conflict in eastern Congo escalated (加劇) as the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels seized the strategic Goma. The news of the successful transfer comes amid persistent tensions in eastern Congo, where fighting between Congo's army and M23 continues. Pope Meets with Greek Church Head Pope Leo XIV has met at the Vatican with the head of the Greek Catholic Church in Ukraine. It was one of his first audiences as pontiff that reaffirmed his appeal (上訴) for a peaceful, negotiated end to Russia's war. His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk said he invited Leo to visit Ukraine and presented the pope with a list of prisoners held by Russia. The Vatican under Pope Francis had worked for prisoner exchanges, as well as for the return of Ukrainian children taken to live in Russian-occupied territories. The Vatican didn't release any statement after the audience, one of the first private audiences held by Leo since his election May 8. That was the I.C.R.T.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened marginally lower this morning from yesterday's close, at 20,018 on turnover of 2.7-billion N-T. The market moved higher on Monday led by a tech rally on Wall Street at the end of last - and the main board returned to above the 20,000-point mark for the first time since April 2. Market watchers say buying on the Tai-Ex Monday reflected a continued rally on U-S markets, which showed signs of stabilizing after the tariff shocks .. and it's being suggested that the worst result from the tariff impact is now over. CIER calls on government to seek tariff exemption for ICT products The Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research says the government should seek a tariff exemption for the island's information and communications technology products during negotiations with the United States. The statement comes after Washington and Taipei held their first negotiations on April 11 - as the government is seeking to ensure that Taiwan will not face a 32-per cent import duty .. as was announced by the U-S on April 2 .. … before a 90-day pause on that was announced on April 9. Washington and Taipei held their first negotiations on April 11 - as the government seeks to ensure that Taiwan will not face hefty tariffs on exports to the U-S market. Centenarian shuttler to compete in World Masters Games The Taipei City Department of Information and Tourism has annouced that a centenarian badminton player will be representing Taiwan at the upcoming World Masters Games. According to city government, 104-year old Lin Yu-mao is one of more than 2,000 athletes aged 65 and above who will be competing in the games. Lin is the Guinness World Records-certified oldest badminton player. Fifteen World Masters Games participants are aged 90 and over, including eight from Taiwan. The oldest participant at this year's quadrennial (四年一次) athletics event is a Thai track and field athlete who is 105 years old. The 2025 World Masters Games is taking place in Taipei and New Taipei from May 17 through 31. Canada Polls Open in National Election Polls are open in Canada's national election, with the ruling Liberal Party favored to win by a narrow margin. The vote comes as Canadians grapple with high living costs, and tensions (緊張局勢) with a confrontational US President, who has made controversial comments about Canada's future. Mitch McCann reports: Brazil Supreme Court Order on Illegal Seizing of Land A justice on Brazil's Supreme Court has ordered the federal government to seize private properties when owners are found responsible for illegal wildfires or deforestation. In addition, authorities must seek compensation from landowners responsible for illegal and intentional (故意的) destruction. The ruling also directed the government to block regularization, a process by which illegally-acquired land becomes legal. The expectation of regularization has been one of the main drivers of deforestation in the Amazon. Land-grabbers clear land in the hope that it will eventually be titled thanks to lax land laws or government amnesties. The court's decision could be appealed. That was the I.C.R.T.

Send us a textAt age 14, humiliation from a PE teacher at Taipei First Girls' High School left a profound impact on May Chou, a young refugee from mainland China. Discouragement and self-doubt evolved to three decades of inactivity. At the age of 43, inspired by a colleague, she began jogging in her backyard and eventually on to joining a running group where she rediscovered her abilities and gained confidence after competing in her first race. This marked the start of an inspiring journey where May regularly participated in over 40 races annually, earning more than 1,000 awards over four decades. Not only did running restore her self-esteem related to activity, but in personal and professional milestones as well, and she went on to become a successful dentist in the United States. May credits her success to supportive friends, family, and a balanced lifestyle of healthy eating and activity. Approaching her 90th birthday, she competed in the Huntsman World Senior Games for the first time in 2024 and plans to compete in the World Masters Games, a triumphant return to Taipei, symbolizing resilience and the transformative power of sports.

Waar de winter nog moet beginnen, richten wij de blik alweer richting komende lente. In mei zijn namelijk in Taiwan de World Masters Games. Dit zijn eigenlijk de Olympische Spelen voor atleten van 35 jaar en ouder. De verwachting is dat zo'n honderd landen atleten gaan afvaardigen voor de 35 verschillende sporten. Tijdens de vorige Spelen, in 2017, was er geen Nederlandse afvaardiging, dus dat moet anders voor Taiwan. We spraken erover met Michiel Wienese. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Racing equivalence for masters depends on using time handicaps. Does this work well? Can it be improved? What would you change? Timestamps 02:00 What are handicaps? Welcome our guest, Christopher Anton, a World Rowing multi-lane umpire. Handicaps were introduced 1980-1990s to try and level the playing field for crews of different age. There are tables which are standard times - based on regatta distance and the masters age groups which then indicate the handicaps by age group. The younger crew starts after the older crew and if everything works perfectly, they will dead heat on the finish line. The regatta organisers publish a set of standard times before the regatta starts. Now in the UK they race over 2 or 3 categories of adjacent age groups. Scotland has a different set of tables than England. 05:30 The timetables have been derived empirically over the years. US Rowing has a formula depending on the average age of the crews which deducts time at the end of the race. There are advantages and disadvantages of both methods. It's an art more than a science. In England the older crew wins about half the races. 08:50 Head races use the tables but this was introduced more recently. The tables were extrapolated out to 50 minute long races. The handicap gets deducted from the elapsed time at the finish. 11:00 Are handicaps a good thing for masters rowing? Christopher thinks generally they are good. They provide racing opportunities where they wouldn't before when insufficient entries are received in a single age group. Handicaps were not designed to enable a 27 year old to race an 80 year old. In UK they tend to use 10 year age bands. They shouldn't be used as a way to get out of giving prizes - Head Races use them to give one prize for masters. 13:30 British Rowing Championships introduced a "Club" race which uses 3 age groups together along with ranking points. This is A, B and C; then D, E and F as a separate group. These show better correlation than age. This is for non-championship events. So they do not use handicaps. British Rowing ranking points explained for seeding each heat in the event. These roughly correlate with speed. With a tailwind the "standard time" for the course would reduce to account for the wind. 18:00 British Rowing are reviewing their handicaps - they haven't changed since they were first set up. The older age categories were extrapolated from the younger ones. Should handicaps, be the same for men, women and mixed? If an F sculler has a 15 second handicap should this be the same for women? Menopause affects women so their times degrade more steeply than men. 21:00 The Concept2 world ranking is a big data source for erg race times as they are globally comparable. More women in 50-60s train more frequently nowadays so we better understand diet and strength training post-menopause which affects race times. There are higher levels of competition into age 70s. Marlene has seen men who stay in good fitness through their 50s and 60s don't get erg times dropping off a lot until they are over 70. 24:00 Are the handicaps appropriate for those new to the sport in their 40s? Pathway for the adult beginner. The San Diego Crew Classic introduced a new rower / intermediate category for masters in their first 5 years of rowing based on Faster Masters recommendation. Skill is a bigger determinant than age for beginners. British Rowing no longer has a novice category. But river regattas are offering races for masters new to the sport. New Zealand rowing offers a. novice year for your first year after you have entered your first race. Masters practice less frequently than juniors and so Rebecca is encouraging regattas to offer events for those new to the sport (3, 4 or 5 years). Christopher thinks British Rowing could look at having intermediate level event races. 30:00 FISA Masters Champs has a big entry for popular events e.g. E1x and FIx. can have 50-60 entries. They put you in heats in order of age - you may be against F age or older. It ensures fairness by age and you can end up in the oldest heat when nobody in the race is actually an F age. FISA has no appetite for change because they have enough entries in every category. By comparison, the World Masters Games has heats, semis and finals so you know who the overall winner is. The skill levels are very different at older age categories. The Euro masters had heats racing together at the end after day for small boats in order to try to find the overall champion. In Australia they have a 10 lane supreme sculler handicap race at the end of the regatta for all the single scull age group winners. #rowing #Mastersrowing #worldrowing Want easy live streams like this?

This week we go back in time with former Eagle and Carlton premiership player Matt Clape. Matt reminisces about his career, reflects on some of his favourite moments and people in the game. Matt, an East Perth football product, was drafted by the West Coast Eagles with pick 9 in the 1990 AFL Draft. He made his debut in 1992 against Hawthorn and then went on to play 29 games at the Eagles before moving to Carlton in 1995, playing a further 58 games including the 1995 premiership. In this episode, Matthew talks about the early successful years of the Eagles, moving to Carlton, the premiership win, Peter Dean's funny Grand Final podium fall, playing under both Malthouse and Parkin, and competing in the World Masters Games. A great listen with the sixty-eighth member of 'The 90's Club Footy Podcast'. This episode has been produced by Set Sounds.

Jens Kurt Heycke was educated in Economics and Near Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago, the London School of Economics, and Princeton University. He worked as an early employee and executive in several successful technology startups, including one that pioneered the mobile Internet and produced software installed in more than a billion mobile phones. Since retiring from high tech, he has worked as a writer and independent researcher, conducting field research around the world, from Bosnia to Botswana. He is an internationally competitive masters cyclist, winning a bronze medal at the World Masters Games and top-ten places in other world championship events. On this episode, Jens shares his one way ticket to a future America that fully realizes the melting pot ideal. Plus, he shares ideas and introduces us to historical figures as outlined in his book: “Out of the Melting Pot, Into the Fire: Multiculturalism in the World's Past and America's Future”. These include: Ibn Khaldun, the 14th century North African father of sociology who introduced the notion of “asabiyah”, which scholars have translated to mean “social cohesion”, “group consciousness” or “esprit de corps”, and how without it, a nation falls apart How a melting pot has always been a two-way process whereby immigrants adopt to the nation and the nation adopts to immigrants Soft Multiculturalism which fits into the melting pot paradigm where cultures are respected and welcomed vs. Hard Multicultural or Multicultural Particularism where every ethnicity needs to remain separate, thereby not allowing for a shared culture Examples of countries that adopted “asabiyah” to great success including, Botswana and Singapore and eventually after its horrific genocide, Rwanda Examples of countries that pitted one ethnic group against another to disastrous effect, including Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, and Sri Lanka Ethnic opportunists Questioning DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) programs and whether there are measures in place to quantify their success How ethnic unity promotes economic success History indicating how pitting one group against another is bad policy.  Jens believes the answer to segregation isn't more segregation, which he believes is a path we're currently going down in the US. To remedy this, he calls for: Ending group distinctions, ceasing to pit one group against another, national team building exercises (borrowing from the “umaganda” example in Rwanda), and a type of national service program to foster social cohesion.

Idade, lesões, falta de tempo? Nada disso é obstáculo para o halterofilista Sergio Britva, nascido em São Paulo e radicado em Israel. Aos 48 anos, Britva se reinventa a cada dia e acaba de ganhar medalha de ouro em dois campeonatos internacionais na categoria 45 a 49 anos: na Copa Mundial de Veteranos, nos Estados Unidos; e na Copa Mediterrânea de Veteranos, no Chipre. Daniela Kresch, correspondente da RFI em Tel Aviv Nos pódios, ele levanta a bandeira de Israel, país que escolheu morar aos 25 anos, em 1996. Mas, antes disso, ele foi campeção nacional de halterofilismo no Brasil de 1987 a 1995, competindo nas categorias infantil, juvenil e sênior. Para ele, o treinamento no Brasil, que começou aos 14 anos, foi a base de seu sucesso. Nascido e criado na Vila Nova Conceição, em São Paulo, ele começou com o halterofilismo por acaso. Na verdade, buscava uma academia de musculação no Clube Hebraica, o qual frequentava, porque se achava “fraquinho”. “O técnico da academia me ofereceu para fazer levantamento de peso como esporte competitivo”, conta Britva. “Foi um período em que a falta de conhecimento do esporte na América do Sul não o limitou a investir muito tempo em mim, em técnica, em dedicação a mim como atleta. Foi a base do que me transformou no campeão de hoje. Considero que, pelo fato de eu ter sido bem treinado como criança, os movimentos não acabaram com meu corpo até hoje”. Nos anos 80, o halterofilismo passava por um bom momento no Brasil. Sergio Britva quebrou recordes já na categoria infantil nas modalidades arranco e arremesso. O auge da carreira foi em 1991, quando ganhou medalha de prata no sulamericano juvenil. Na década de 90, o esporte passou por uma crise e foi praticamente sucateado. Britva encarou sua primeira grande decepção esportiva por causa disso. Por falta de orçamento, ele não foi enviado para o campeonato mundial que o classificaria para as Olimpíadas de Atlanta, em 1996. “Como eu vi que não tinha nenhum tipo de apoio naquele mesmo ano, em 95, para eu conseguir a classificatória, foi um desânimo muito grande para mim porque eu vinha há anos treinando muito pesado, me dedicando, chegando muito tarde depois do trabalho, às vezes treinava até 10 horas da noite”, se lembra Britva. “E na hora que eu precisei realmente de uma ajuda para chegar até o mundial para me classificar para a Olimpíada, eu não tive essa ajuda. E, naquele mesmo momento, eu não tive condições nem tive a ideia de conseguir fazer isso de uma forma independente do clube ou da Federação Paulista ou mesmo da Confederação Brasileira. Assim decidi parar de treinar em 1995”. No ano seguinte (1996), o atleta paulista decidiu morar em Israel. Ele procurou um clube onde pudesse praticar o levantamento de peso. Foi reconhecido pelo treinador do Maccabi Tel Aviv e ganhou rapidamente espaço. Três anos depois, já fazia parte da seleção nacional. Ele quebrou recordes e ganhou medalhas dentro e fora do país. O fato de ser brasileiro foi, para ele, uma vantagem: “A minha brasilidade só ajudou. Graças a Deus o brasileiro tem uma mentalidade, ele tem um conceito de sociedade, que mesmo sem o idioma, consegue se associar. Somos pessoas quentes, comunicativas e terminamos nos tornando pessoas queridas muito rápido pelo meio. E ser brasileiro é ser querido no exterior, não tem jeito”. Mas, apesar das vitórias e medalhas, novamente a falta de apoio ao esporte levou a frustrações. A crise no halterofilismo não acontecia apenas no Brasil. Em seu novo país, o dinheiro também era curto. “Em 1998, me consagrei 8º na Europa e 17° no mundo no ranking. Infelizmente, o ano se passou e, em 1999, o clube entrou em grandes crises, eu não recebia periodicamente o salário, que era de aproximadamente 300, 400 dólares. Recebia um salário a cada três, quatro meses”, conta o atleta paulista. “Me vi obrigado a trabalhar. Fiz o serviço militar básico, que me tirou também dos treinamentos, fiz um curso salva-vidas e comecei a trabalhar. Infelizmente, o resultado foi que, no mesmo ano, eu caí no ranking de 17 para 42”. Mas o pior estava por vir: em 2003, ele sofreu uma lesão debilitante. Ao levantar 180 kg, o tablado onde ele estava se abriu porque havia sido montado com menos pregos do que o necessário. O resultado foi o rompimento do ligamento do ombro direito e a perda da mobilidade. Ele foi operado e, por cerca de um ano, teve que fazer fisioterapia. Em 2005, no entanto, ele já treinava normalmente, mesmo sem aspirações de vitórias em campeonatos internacionais por causa da lesão e da idade. A volta por cima aconteceu quando ele descobriu a categoria Masters, a partir dos 35 anos. “Em 2009, foi meu primeiro campeonato na Austrália, o World Masters Games, a Olimpíada dos Veteranos, na qual fui segundo lugar”, diz Sergio Britva. “E, desde então, voltou totalmente a felicidade, a vontade de continuar me dedicando, continuar competindo e levantando a bandeira de Israel, representando um país. E esses eventos me motivam todos os dias a sair de casa, treinar”. A carreira do veterano Sergio Britva vai, agora, de vento em popa. Nos últimos nove anos, ele venceu o campeonato mundial cinco vezes, além de ter subido ao pódio em diversos campeonatos internacionais. Em 2010, sua vitória na Copa Masters de Levantamento de Peso na Polônia se tornou manchete. Ele ganhou ouro, vencendo Hussein Khodadadi, o atleta do Irã, que não apertou sua mão, mesmo tendo aceitado subir no pódio sob ameaça de que a delegação iraniana seria banida por dois anos caso não fosse receber o prêmio. Mas ele desacatou orientação do governo de seu país de que não participasse da cerimônia porque um atleta de Israel havia vencido. O halterofilista iraniano acabou sendo punido quando voltou a Teerã e não pode mais praticar o esporte. Desde então, nenhum competidor iraniano compete com atletas israelenses. “Os iranianos chegam aos campeonatos com seleções completas, vão até o momento da pesagem que precede o campeonato, vêm que eu faço a pesagem, que eu estou inscrito no campeonato e eles abandonam aquela categoria para não competir comigo mais. Tenho pena, porque isso foge completamente aos princípios do esporte”, conta o atleta. Hoje, o halterofilista brasileiro é casado e tem uma filha. A segunda deve nascer em poucos meses. Ele se divide entre os treinos e o trabalho como diretor de projetos de uma multinacional. Até porque ele não tem patrocinador e financia ele mesmo suas viagens e inscrições em competições. Mas, se depender dele, vai continuar a levantar peso até quando puder: “Eu digo sempre para as pessoas que estão ao meu redor que, se um dia elas souberem que eu parei de treinar, é porque eu realmente não tenho condição financeira e ter tempo hábil de treinar ou porque infelizmente eu estou com uma doença irreversível. Porque o meu plano é continuar aproveitando de uma coisa que me completa muito.

Be honest! Too often we can get so focused on our physical health that we forget to put in the work necessary to maintain a healthy mindset. What will it take to put your mindset through the paces and get the results you need to perform at the top of your game? My guest today is high-performance coach, Rachel Lilley! As a 3x Gold Medal athlete and high-performance coach, Rachel knows first hand all the tricks your mind can play on you. She also knows how to get past them. In 2017, Rachel won three Gold medals playing field hockey at the World Masters Games, in the New Zealand 35s team and then they won the New Zealand 35s Masters competition. Rachel has been playing sports her whole life, from backyard cricket to competitive swimming, she is naturally competitive. Bringing all her hard-fought lessons from training as an athlete, Rachel is now focused on helping high performing men and women like you, Kaizenites! Discover what lessons you can learn from Rachel's training on mental toughness and how that leads to a healthy mindset on this episode! Here are a few takeaways from today's podcast episode with RACHEL LILLEY: How a fixed mindset can hold you back. Don't cap your growth, there is always room for improvement! Shifting from an “Ow brain” to a “Wow brain.” Practical ways to get unstuck. What are you waiting for? Jump in and find that one nugget of Rachel's insights that will help you flip the switch and take your mindset to the next level! Outline of This Episode [3:00] I welcome my guest, Rachel Lilley to the podcast. [6:30] Rachel talks about the drawbacks of a fixed mindset. [10:30] There is always room for improvement and growth, coaches can help you see this! [13:00] The ow brain vs. the wow brain. [16:15] An example of two hikers who trained to climb a mountain. [19:00] Adopting a professional vs. an amateur mindset. [22:30] What does it take to cut through all the noise to find the real you? [24:30] How you can use the “Noticing and Naming” exercise. [28:00] Practical ways to get “Unstuck” in life and business. [33:30] Make sure you set yourself up for success! [37:20] Happiness is not the destination. [39:00] Rachel enters Cary's Corner - rapid-fire questions. [42:30] Who should connect with Rachel? [43:30] Rachel's FREE gift to Kaizenites. The ow brain vs. the wow brain. Real talk? Most of the time the person holding us back from success isn't that jerk of a boss or that overachieving co-worker, it's that person we see staring back at us in the mirror. I want to move us away from self-sabotage and an unhealthy mindset and embrace a better way to live! One of the best concepts that can help with adopting a healthy mindset that I've come across lately is from entrepreneur and coach, Todd Herman called the “ow brain vs. the wow brain.” Instead of looking at your challenges as daunting and insurmountable (ow brain), look at what you've accomplished. Take stock of how far you've come and use your achievements as fuel for the next leg of your journey (wow brain.) Adopting a healthy mindset starts with making this shift from ow to wow. Let's be that climber who trains day and night to conquer a mountain confidant in our abilities because we've taken stock of what we've accomplished so far. You CAN do this, you HAVE what it takes to succeed! Dig deep, Kaizenites - the journey has just begun! Cut through the noise and find the REAL YOU! What is the story you tell yourself? Come on, we all do it. We have positive and negative stories that we allow to dominate our lives, some of those stories come from within and some come from the world around us. How do you cut through all the noise to let the REAL you shine through? It all starts with recognizing the stories you tell yourself. Don't just brush off those negative thoughts that pop up, lean into them! Vocalize those thoughts and consider where they are coming from and why they hold power in your mind. You'll never defeat something that you constantly push away and ignore! Join me, Kaizenites! Let's commit to noticing and naming those storylines that pop up in our mind and reclaim a healthy mindset. We can do this, we don't have to struggle through life with limiting thoughts and self-sabotage! Own your self! Don't chase happiness! What is your end goal? Are you chasing a fleeting image of happiness? Stop! Trust me, I've been down that path and it won't fulfill you! As much as our society likes to sell us the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the truth is happiness is elusive. Part of adopting and cultivating a healthy mindset is realizing that happiness isn't the destination. You have the ability to be happy right now, in your current state. Happiness isn't going to suddenly arrive one day when the clouds part and beams of sunshine come down. Choose happiness today! If you take the time to be present with yourself and those around you, you'll see the value in staying flexible and adaptable to life as it comes. Don't buy the lie that you are powerless, you aren't! Make the most of your precious time and choose happiness, choose a healthy mindset.

Ronn and Joe discuss the NFL draft, the World Masters Games, the NBA and NHL playoffs, one-eyed horses, sports karma, Yelping your college, baseball umpires, and school lunches. Ronn gets patriotic (radio edit and remix included) and eats a lot of quiche. Joe goes on a 30-second rant and has to guess obscure sports team names. Plus the boys play a game of “What’s the Word?” and Ronn gets us ready for the Kentucky Derby.

Atlantic 10 Legend (George Washington) and 11-year NBA veteran, Mike Brown. Mike discusses his multi-sport childhood and his decision to focus on basketball. His path to the NBA began at Clifford J. Scott High School. We chat about his tremendous tenure at George Washington University, where he starred academically (Criminal Justice) and athletically. Mike led the Colonials in scoring and rebounding, in each of his four seasons with the team. Between his junior and senior seasons, he participated in the 1984 US Olympic Trials at Indiana University. He shares his memories of those famous trials. We also talk about Mike's relationship with Patrick Ewing, who played for the Georgetown Hoyas, just miles away from the George Washington campus. We talk about the 1985 NBA Draft, one of the most talent-laden in the history of the game. The Chicago Bulls selected Mike in the third round (69th-pick overall). Following a season overseas (Italy), Brown returned to the Bulls, and played the 1987 and 1988 seasons with the team, alongside Michael Jordan and (a young) Scottie Pippen. I also asked Mike about his memories of this famous move - he didn't disappoint. In June of 1988, the expansion Charlotte Hornets, selected Mike in the Expansion Draft, trading him to the Utah Jazz, for Kelly Tripucka. The next five years of Mike's career (1989-1993), were spent in Utah. The Jazz advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 1992, and we talk about the opportunities that opened for Mike, both on and off the court. He talks fondly about his time with the franchise and being teammates with John Stockton and Karl Malone. We also discuss the 1992 Olympic Games, where Mike traveled to Barcelona to watch four of his teammates (Jordan, Pippen, Stockton & Malone) win the gold medal for Team USA. After the 1993 season, Mike was traded to Minnesota, in exchange for Felton Spencer. He talks about the adjustment of leaving a winning culture in Utah, to a franchise that was still searching for its identity. The last few seasons of Mike's career, were with the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns. He also returned overseas for a second stint in Europe. Mike also reflects on some of the great coaches he played for, including Doug Collins, Frank Layden and Jerry Sloan, to name a few. Since his playing career ended, Mike has been involved in coaching at various levels, and is currently working for the NBA, in a player-development role. We round out the conversation, talking about Mike's (Las Vegas) radio show, The Embracing Project and finally, his gold-medal success at the World Masters Games, here in Australia. We didn't get to cover this, however, it's very cool and definitely worth a look. Mike is clearly a fan of vintage cars. You can follow Mike on Twitter.
