What's In Your Bag? Ep. 21 - Vic Law

What's In Your Bag? With Andrew Robinson

Anthony Davis, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade... those are some of the legendary names of the people who have come from Chicago, and played at the highest level of basketball in the NBA. St. Rita's own Vic Law joined the What's In Your Bag Podcast to discuss making it to the NBA out of Chicago, and the immense amount of pride that comes with that.

He shares a crazy story of the first day he was called up to join the Orlando Magic during the 2020 season, on the same day of the great Kobe Bryant's passing. What happened during the Bubble when Vic's Orlando Magic faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks, who famously protested a Playoff game in the midst of the Jacob Blake murder. We discuss it all!

Plus, what is it really like trying to earn an NBA Call Up and grind through the G League? Vic gets transparent about the moment that changed his career forever, during his time in the G League with the Orlando Magic.

Of course we hit on the historic season in Japan playing with the Chiba Jets, and the championship series that just wrapped up! We reflect on Vic's first season here in Japan, as well as compare it to one of top league's in the world, the Australian NBL!

We couldn't let the opportunity pass to discuss the Northwestern Wildcats, the growth of the program under coach Collins, and whether Vic would've still chose NU if NIL were around back then?
