Welcome to Run TMC Podcast, Season 3, Episode 22. Hosts Duffy Ballard and Dave Levine recap a thrilling Warriors play-in win, explain the analytical concept of a player’s "gravity," and sit down in the San Geronimo Community Center gym with Marin legend, the great Eddie Joe (EJ) Chavez.

The interview covers EJ's Drake high school and Santa Clara success, his decades-long pro career overseas (he's played on 6 continents), his incredible performance with the Panama national team against the 1992 USA Olympic "Dream Team", and his decades of community work — including organizing the weekly pick-up run at the San Geronimo Community Center in Lagunitas for many years. Tune in for lively pickup-game ambience, reflections on coaching and teamwork, and a celebration of Marin basketball’s first family. EJ is a gem. He's like basketball Yoda.
