Luol Deng
Manage episode 449731886 series 2492845
This week we got a Bulls staple on the pod, as Luol Deng joins Q and D on Knuckleheads. As a kid who grew up in South Sudan and then Egypt, Luol looks back on his journey from Africa to Great Britain to America. He recounts how Coach K got him to come to Duke and discusses his Blue Devil experience. Luol also reflects on being one of the longest tenured Bulls ever, and looks back at those talented Bulls teams led by Derrick Rose — and just how special that stretch was for Chicago. He also touches on South Sudan’s performance in the Paris Olympics. Luol’s story is can’t miss — tune in!
