Listen "Spud Webb - Defying Gravity (audio only)"
Episode Synopsis
How does a 5-foot-7 player rise above the giants of basketball and win the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest? For Spud Webb, the shortest NBA player at the time, it wasn’t about proving doubters wrong, it was about proving to himself that hard work is undefeated.
In this episode, Spud Webb opens up about his journey from being underestimated to becoming one of the NBA legends who gave hope to “the little men” of basketball everywhere. He shares why showing emotion matters and how his true legacy goes beyond his Spud Webb height, by mentoring kids, coaching, and giving back to help others keep their dreams alive.
In this episode of Less Than One Percent, Dr. Imamu Tomlinson and Spud Webb reflect on resilience, challenging the status quo, and the power of generosity as a superpower.
