Ray Scott discussed his battles with NBA legends like New York’s Willis Reed on ‘Express Yourself’.

Former Detroit Pistons coach Ray Scott stopped by  ‘Express Yourself with T-Ramone and ‘Sco’ _ hosted by veteran sports writers Tim Turner and Roscoe Nance _  to take a deep dive into the NBA playoffs and look back on his 12-year pro career.

Scott was the No. 4 overall pick in the 1961 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons and averaged a double-double, 15 points and 10 rebounds a game for his career.

Despite some productive years in Detroit, the 6-foot-9 Scott was traded by the Pistons to the Bullets during the 1966-67 season. He would become one of the cornerstones of the Baltimore Bullets run that included a 57-win season in 19 and featured Earl Monroe, Wes Unsled and Gus Johnson.

After a contract dispute with the Bullets, Scott jumped to the ABA and finished up his career in the ABA where he played with a youngster named Julius Erving for the Virginia Squires.

Scott’s outstanding playing career is often overshadowed by his success as a coach. He was the head coach of the Detroit Pistons for three and half seasons (1972-76). 

 In 1974 Scott was named the ‘NBA Coach of the Year’, making him the first African-American to earn the honor.  Click the link to hear the interview. Rickey Hampton of TheAfricanAmericanAthlete.com sat in for Tim. After a short conversation discussing the playoffs, the interview with Scott interview begins on the 9:30 mark.

    After you have selected few attorneys, you can interview with them
    to see what choice. If you have, another thing look sexier and preferable.
    Everything comes down to, reading, not what but the
    easiest way.
