  • A story about all of us. Written and presented by two-time NBA champion, former U.S. Senator, and lifelong storyteller Bill Bradley.
    Raised in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi River, Bill Bradley was an Olympic gold medalist and national College Player of the Year, and spent 10 years as a Hall-of-Fame forward for the New York Knicks, winning two NBA titles. He later served for 18 years in the United States Senate, representing the state of New Jersey; and in 2000 was a Democratic candidate for President of the United States.

    Wow! Just wow! I'm a 63 year-old who's been a Knick fan since the 69-70 season. Bill Bradley was always proved to be a dynamic player as well as an extraordinary man. My husband and I moved to NJ after we married and voted for him as our senator, and he again and again proved himself to be a contemplative, intelligent and sensitive intellectual who served the state well. As Bradley reflects back on a life well-lived (and well-deserved), and as he's peeled back his many layers for the public to see, I am even more impressed by him, which I didn't think was possible. It is shame he never became president; he would have served the people and the office with grace, dignity, and deep love and patriotism for all Americans. Best of luck to Bill Bradley. It's still a thrill to see him at the Garden when he goes to a game, and schmoozes with Clyde. I wish that current Knicks would watch this video to understand how proud they should be to be wearing the orange and blue that was once worn by a man of this calibre.

    Wow. I always admired BB. I admired him despite him being a Knick's player and me being a Celtic fan. I lived in St. Louis till very recently and followed his career throughout. After all, he is from St. Louis! 🙂 Now there's another St. Louis player I follow, and this time HE IS A CELTICS! 🥰 I wonder if he will be able to have a movie documentary made at the end of his career. Well if he will I more than likely won't be able to watch it - I probably will be dead. 🙂

    A great man. I met him once 1:31:39 at an SI Awards event in the 90’s. What a true honor. He was so kind.

    I remember the things he believed in. Civil rights, campaign finance limits, and a flat tax. He's such a good man.

    When I was a kid Bill Bradley was my favorite KNick, I remember his first game at Madison Square Garden I was 12 13 years old I would be sitting on my bed listening to the game on the radio radio as I would to every Knick game. One day I said let me send Bill a letter asking for an autograph picture not really thinking I would get it a couple weeks later I came home from school and there was a manila envelope on my desk, from Madison Square Garden my eyes lit up and when I opened it and it said to Mike best wishes Bill Bradley I was the happiest kid on earth, my mom got me a frame for it, an over 50 years later I still have it I still have it. Much appreciated dollar bill my favorite Knick of all time.🏀🏀🏀

    I'm from the UK. I woke up this morning and didn't know Bill existed. Not a single idea. I heard his name on a podcast, and heard he'd made a biopic that was behind an HBO paywall, but he wanted it to be on RUclips. Intrigued, I pressed play on a Sunday afternoon. It made me cry twice. Beautiful. Thank you Bill.

    Too bad you don't want to be president now... You would be better than choosing from the lesser of the two evils . To choose an American instead of a party
