In this episode of The 5th Quarter Podcast, Sandy Adams talks with former NBA point guard and current Memphis Grizzlies color analyst, Brevin Knight, about his rise, reinvention, and what he’s learned along the way.
In this episode, we cover:
- Growing up in New Jersey with a chip on his shoulder
- Not being heavily recruited out of high school despite winning 3 state titles
- How Stanford discovered him—almost by accident
- His deep belief in himself and his ability to lead
- Going from overlooked to a 1st round pick in the 1997 NBA Draft
- Balancing the grind of basketball while earning a degree from Stanford
- Life after the NBA and stepping into a new lane as a broadcaster
- What keeps him rooted in Memphis—and why the mic feels like home now
Brevin’s story is a masterclass in betting on yourself—especially when no one else is.
