Over And Back: Stories About Nba History

On this edition of the Over and Back Classic NBA podcast, Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch remember the lives and careers of three NBA stars we lost in the past few weeks: Anthony Mason, Jerome Kersey and Earl Lloyd. We begin with a discussion on Earl Lloyd breaking the NBA's color barrier, the unique circumstances that led to him being the one to break it, his post-playing career and much more. We then move onto a discussion of Jerome Kersey's career, his college career at tiny Longwood College to his eventual pairing with NBA greats Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter. Discussions include Kersey's standout games, best playoff series, his charitable work and his penchant for picking up fouls. The show closes with a look at Anthony Mason's beginnings as a journeymen before finally latching on with Pat Riley's New York Knicks. Similar to Kersey, we look at Mason's best games, notable playoff series, how he represented New York and Knicks basketball in the '90s as well as his post-Knick days
