Episode 3501: Bam, Kobe & Wilt The Stilt – NBA Scoring Madness With Brian Murphy
Who among the World Service family is quicker to swell with pride at the mention of his Irishness than our San Francisco Bureau Chief, US Murph? Well, who better to talk to then on this most Hibernian of days than the man himself.
Today we’re chatting to Brian about the wild scoring rampage the Miami Heat centre Bam Adebayo went on last week, logging 83 points in one match and overtaking Kobe Bryant in second place on the NBA’s all-time points in a single game table. At the top? Wilt the Stilt Chamberlain.
Plus there’s Liam Hayes’ stint in basketball broadcasting, The Royals’ rise and the enigmatic Van der Hague of Manchester.
