Bryce interviews former Duke and NBA basketball player Mike Gminski. Mike played for four years at Duke (1976-1980) and was named the ACC Rookie of the Year and ACC Player of the Year. When he left Duke, he was the career leader in points, rebounds, and blocked shots, and his number "43" is retired. He was drafted in the first round of the 1980 NBA draft, 7th overall, by the New Jersey Nets, and throughout his 14-year NBA career also played for the 76ers, Hornets, and Bucks.

After playing basketball, Mike has been a long-time analyst for the Hornets, CBS Sports, Raycom Sports, and Fox Sports Net and was a regular contributor to WFNZ. He's joining us today to share about his journey with alcohol and now sobriety and how Jesus has changed his life. He is currently a Peer Recovery Coach at Sana Recovery.
