Episode 9 – Chuck Taylor

Chuck Taylor had as much influence on growing the game of basketball as Michael Jordan or Yao Ming. He also helped develop the most popular basketball shoe ever worn, The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars. Rick profiles Taylor through his early years as a player and his later years as, essentially, a shoe salesman. His basketball shoe dominated a larger portion of the basketball market than the Air Jordan ever did. We need to remember this Hall of Famer for his influence on the game.
