Episode #53 - Red Lake's Gerald Kingbird
Manage episode 317251294 series 2665290
Gerald Kingbird from Red Lake joins the program for this episode. He shares how important the game of basketball is to those on the reservation in his area and beyond. We're also approaching the 25th anniversary of one of the most memorable Minnesota state tournament games of all time, where Gerald's Red Lake team took on Wabasso. As a sophomore in that game Gerald helped lead his team all the way back from 19-point 4th quarter deficit to send the game to overtime. They lost in OT 117 - 113,, but put on quite a show and there are still a few records from that game in 1997 that still stand today. We also found out how many points he needed to score in a high school game to get his first kiss from his girlfriend (who is now his wife). Enjoy this conversation in the Bare's Den with Gerald Kingbird.
