After Hours with Jamie Rubin: Remembering a Talented, Troubled Knick

Tune in to Vital City's latest podcast episode about a New York basketball legend.

This week on After Hours, Jamie takes a detour from New York politics to explore a deeply personal piece of the city's basketball history: the life and legacy of Michael Ray Richardson, the electrifying Knicks guard whose career was derailed by cocaine addiction in the 1980s. Jamie sits down with writer Jake Uitti, who co-authored Richardson's autobiography "Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption," to discuss what made "Sugar Ray" such a distinctive talent and how Richardson rebuilt his life after his ban from the league.
