Billy Garrett On His Journey To Becoming The First NBA Player With Sickle Cell Disease
Channel: Ike's Inspiration
Date: 22/02/2024

I was blessed with the opportunity to speak with Billy Garrett, the first NBA player diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. As a leader with sickle cell disease, doing the podcast with Billy was deeply personal because my condition hindered my stamina to play basketball and participate in other athletic endeavors at a high level. So to speak to Billy about how he was able to persist through his sickle cell crises and play for the NBA was incredibly inspiring. In this podcast, we talked for two and a half hours on various topics including his journey to the NBA, our struggle with sickle cell disease, and philosophies for overcoming adversity.
