More and more Turkish Airlines EuroLeague players are trying to control their narratives by making their own podcasts. Elijah Bryant and Shane Larkin have been playing together for Anadolu Efes Istanbul for several seasons and they have also joined forces for the Off The RECourt Podcast, in which they interview EuroLeague personalities.
Former Efes teammate Bryant Dunston of Zalgiris Kaunas, cross-town superstar Nigel Hayes-Davis of Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul, three-time EuroLeague-winning coach Ergin Ataman of Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens and the EuroLeague's all-time leading scorer, Mike James, were the first guests on their podcast which started this season.
In this exclusive interview at Euroleague Basketball headquarters in Barcelona, Bryant and Larkin talked about what inspired them to start their podcast, why we are seeing more and more players publishing their own content, how important it is to tell their own story in their own words, the process of choosing guests and what kind of people they hope to bring on the show in the near future.
