Peter Feigin (@PFeigin), President of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks and their new state-of-the-art arena, the Fiserv Forum. The Bucks are one of the best run franchises in all of pro sports and with their recent contract extensions with 2-Time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and star guard Jrue Holiday, they have shown that small market franchises can retain their stars and thrive financially. The Bucks have also been one of the most outspoken pro sports franchises when it comes to social justice issues, so we discuss how the organization has created an environment for such conversations to take place. Also joining this week’s edition of Sports Business Radio is Jeff Kunowski, Associate Director of Innovation Programs for Arizona State University’s Global Sport Institute and J Orin Edson Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute.
