Basketball in Nashville. We think about Vandy, maybe Lipscomb. But what about our semi-pro team — Nashville Aces?

Dr. J, George “The Iceman” Gervin, and Rick Barry are hall of fame basketball players. Did you know they got their start in the American Basketball Association? Did you know that Nashville has a team? The Aces are currently undefeated and making waves.

We talk to player-owners, coaches, meet the state’s top-ranked high school basketball player — and talk with him about the pressure and excitement of college recruitment.

Guests:

  • Allen Rogers Jr., Aces’ co-owner and Point Guard
  • Duncan McClure, Aces’ co-owner and Forward
  • Denise Knowles, Aces’ Assistant Coach
  • Cade Bennerman, current #1 top-ranked high school player in Tennessee
  • Monique Forskin Duncan, exceptional athlete parent
  • Carlton Battle, Whites Creek High School boys basketball coach
