YINKA DARE | The Coolest Name But Most Insane NBA Lottery Pick Of All-Time
About this episode
The episode explores the story of Yinka Dare, one of the worst NBA draft picks, highlighting his unique background and the circumstances of his selection.
Today, we're diving into one of the worst draft picks of all-time, and a guy with perhaps the coolest name of all-time: Yinka Dare. It's 1991, and while driving down the side of a road in Lagos, Nigeria, a 6'10" Yinka Dare was discovered, having never played basketball before. What happened next started out as a fairytale story, but quickly ends in nightmare fashion. Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?
