Pipeline to the Pros – a Conversation with Ben Kaplan – Episode 79

We were pleased to be joined by Ben Kaplan to talk about his new book Pipeline to the Pros, How D3, Small-College Nobodies Rose to Rule the NBA. As a former Division III guy himself, Ben is well-positioned to write on this topic.

We heard from him on his background and how that may have laid the foundation for this project, the early days of how this project got started and ultimately completed, then dug into some of the central figures of the book and the themes and lessons they reveal as a number of people with Division III ties have risen through the ranks to leave their mark on the NBA throughout its history.

Our thanks to Ben for having advanced copies sent to us. The book is available for pre-order now and officially releases on April 16, 2024.
