Large, Limited & Pasty: The White Goon of the 1980's and the NBA's answer to a "too black" league
About this episode
The episode discusses the overlooked role of the 'White Goon' in the NBA during the 1980s amidst the rise of prominent black players.
When you think of the NBA in the 1980's, you think of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon & much more. But what many forget is the large, limited, pasty 7-footer that sat at the end of every team's bench - The White Goon. And that's what we're going to discuss today on the Press Box Chronicles.
