New York playground legend Kenny Anderson was the definition of basketball prodigy — college scouts began recruiting him when he was in the sixth grade. Drafted by the New Jersey Nets in 1991 when he was only 20, his talent shone on the court, but he struggled personally with the trappings of being young, rich and famous. Now, 12 years after his career came to a close, Anderson joins the The Rematch to share his story — a cautionary tale for young athletes who experience sudden success.

The Rematch takes a look at the thin line between love and hate in sports; a show that examines the nature of media and popular opinion by giving athletes an open forum to reclaim their identities from labels like polarizing, mercurial, and immature. 

Hosted by NBA Veteran Etan Thomas, this unique athlete-first podcast will explore the differences between how we see professional athletes and who they really are.
