On the first episode, a few guests from different generations lead the conversations on a variety of different topics in the history of basketball in Dayton.
On the first episode, the special guests are:
Gerald Bayless - The Belmont and Bowling Green star athlete who played in the NFL talks about hoops in the 70s and 80s, his experiences, the top programs and how the city of Dayton was booming economically. Bayless gives great insight on what it was like in the 70s and 80s from a life viewpoint as well.
Ah Hava El Elyon - The business mogul played in the late 80s and 90s and talks about his memories of playing, the star coaches, players, and teams he watched, the basketball organization he built and the players he saw and was following back in those times.
Peso Mulah - The rising star producer and director talks about hoop in the 2000s and what it was like during those times as he went to school at Trotwood HS.
With Bar Legacy Mitch sitting in on the conversation, the energy was great for the 1st show.
While they will talk about the players, they also will talk about the times and what the culture was like living in Dayton during the different eras.
"I felt like this was a prime opportunity to unleash this topic. While we know there is nearly 100 years of Dayton history to talk about, we wanted to start giving flowers to some of the greats who have help shape the basketball world in the Miami Valley over these last 50 years."
