Skin in the Game is where Jeff "Skin" Wade sits down with athletes, coaches, executives, and cultural figures for authentic conversations that go beyond the box score. On the premiere episode of Skin in the Game, Jeff "Skin" Wade sits down with the coach who delivered the first championship in Dallas Mavericks history, Rick Carlisle. Carlisle reflects on his basketball journey, from falling in love with the game to playing alongside Larry Bird on some of the most iconic Boston Celtics teams of all time. He discusses the mentors and relationships that helped shape him throughout his career, including the influence of Don Nelson, and shares lessons learned from decades in the NBA. Carlisle also looks back on the Mavericks' unforgettable 2011 championship run, what made that team so special, and why that title remains one of the most memorable.
