Ho ho ho? Uh, try no no no! Nerdologues co-founder Kevin Reader finally came on the show to chat about his favorite athlete. From being a nerdy kid in jr high who got into basketball because it's what his friends were into (and because he grew up in IL in the 90s) to playing pickup basketball with Deron Williams in college, Kevman found an idol in Mutombo when he got his story and stats in a physical, chapter-a-month encyclopedia mailing. Can't deny a guy who didn't start playing basketball until he was 15 in DR Congo and started college at 21 (even though he denied players on the court for 18 seasons in the NBA). Better late than never!
