CJ Massinburg is our guest for today’s podcast; a person who's a testament to how being overlooked isn’t the end of the story, just a minor stop on the bigger journey. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, he is arguably the most distinguished basketball player at the University of Buffalo. He talks about his professional basketball journey and how it brought him toe-to-toe with some of the NBA's greats. But for our guest, it’s bigger than basketball, it’s about building a legacy for his family, including his newborn son, as he is flourishing in the graces of fatherhood.

Before we saw Matt Ryan hit the insane last second shot to send the Lakers to OT against the Pelicans, the crew of the Run Your Own Race Podcast sat down with him on the eve of the NBA Season to dive deeper into his journey to the NBA.

Tap into this episode to see how the kid from Westchester, NY would shoot his way into the NBA and how he plans to stay!
