A replay of the first half of the two-part episode with famed St. John’s Basketball captain Billy Goodwin. Watch Billy, joined by Sammy Albano, as they discuss the legendary team under coach Lou Carnesecca.
Originally from Harlem, Billy Goodwin led the St. John's men's basketball team to several victories, including the historic Big East Tournament win over Boston College that landed him the “Sports Illustrated” cover in 1983. A solid athlete and point guard at St. John’s, Goodwin was a third-round draft choice of the Milwaukee Bucks, and then played for the high ranking Nice (France) Professional Basketball Club.
Billy Goodwin has remained in France since the late ‘80s where he has also been a counselor for troubled youth at UET-Fleurey sur Ouche, and where he is host of a popular two-hour weekly all-sports radio show in Dijon, France.
