Summary

7 footer, Bill Wennington and I got to know each other a bit from his time in Sacramento primarily. That's beside the fact that he has Long Island history. And yes, he hails from Canada! Once he figured out the NBA he turned it into a wonderful career. A career that includes three championships with the Chicago Bulls from their heyday. We talk a little bit about the character of that team as well as the others Bill has played on as well as the coaches he played under. There's some great perspective you won't hear many other places so I hope you enjoy the discussion we have. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
