Mike Safo with Nate Sestina, Kentucky Wildcat & Fenerbahçe Beko (Basketball)

Joined today by former Kentucky Wildcat and current star of Fenerbahce Beko, Nate Sestina. Nate talks about growing up in a small town in Pennsylvania, players he looked up, why he chose Bucknell and his 2 trips to the NCAA tourney. We then chat about how he got recruited to Kentucky, how Brad played a part in it, getting a phone call from Cal and being the vet on a team of freshman. We discuss his year in Lexington, his first game at Madison Square Garden, the ups and down of that season and why Covid happening is the biggest “what if” in Kentucky history. Nate goes over what it’s like winning a title in the Israeli league, playing for the powerhouse Turkish team, Fenerbahce Beko, improvements he wants to make in his game and the sick traveling he gets to do playing in the Euro League. We go in depth on the romantic side of Nate, chatting about how he met his fiancé, how he set up his epic proposal, and where he gets his charm from. Nate tells us about "The Family" that Coach Cal preaches about, his emotional senior day and if he would have came back for one more season, All this plus bowling with Flava Flav, thinking he's Tony Soprano and more!!
