    #14: Josh Powell talks about his time at State, why he left early and his 2 NBA Championships

    Former NC State basketball star and 2-time NBA champion Josh Powell joins the Pack Insiders Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from Raleigh to the NBA and everything that came after. Josh gets candid about his time at NC State, why he ultimately left the program, the personal challenges he was dealing with at the time and the long road that followed. We also talk about his journey to the NBA, playing alongside Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, what it really takes to win a championship, and why the players who don't always show up in the box score are often much more important than fans realize. And now, Josh is onto his next chapter. We talk about his books, his work in the community and his new Crown3 basketball league, which is coming to Raleigh on August 30. There's a lot more in this conversation, including some great NC State stories and some fascinating insight into what life is like after basketball. Watch the full conversation and hear it directly from Josh.
