Great interview with Buddy Boeheim (that was buried in another thread)

[cto]

This interview was linked earlier at the end of a long thread where it did not get many views, so I think it's worth posting on its own.

Two caveats: 1) It's almost 90 minutes long; 2) I had to click "skip ads" every 4-5 minutes, but that was no big deal.

In this interview, Buddy looks so much, and sounds so much, like his mother. At some points, it was almost like Juli was talking -- which I thought was kind of fun.

This interview with Buddy was outstanding. I knew he was a great kid but I’m blown away by how humble and down to earth he has stayed throughout his blossoming fame. Found it very interesting at the end of the interview he talked about how his faith has evolved over the past year and he plans to get baptized this summer. You don’t hear a lot of college athletes talk about that which I thought was pretty cool.

On a side note, how great of a story would it be if Syracuse has an amazing season and makes a deep run (dare I say final four) in the tournament. I know they definitely lack high end athleticism in some spots, but chemistry, experience, skill, and savvy will be in abundance so you never know. I’m certainly had my gripes about JB, but there is no doubt the man built Syracuse basketball...I hope a team led by his two sons can send him off into the sunset of his career with an unforgettable season. Would make a great movie someday.

Thanks for posting this as it’s own thread as I’m sure I’d have missed it buried in the Buddy thread. Cant wait to get into it when I have time.

Can't wait to check this out. Couldn't agree more about this being a hopefully great season with both of them here. JB personally between the sanctions, the Bernie stuff and then the accident has been through a lot not to mention the program and selfishly fans. It would be great for everyone to have a year that heals things a bit.

Great, great interview. The interviewer is really talented too and asked some amazing question.

Can see Ed Harris in the role of JB.

Great, great interview. The interviewer is really talented too and asked some amazing question.

And it doesn't hurt that Buddy can take a question and run with it.
