From all-state high school stardom to a nine-year NBA career, Erick Strickland is one of Nebraska’s greatest athletes. In this episode of Legends Rock, brought to you by the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame, our host, Chuck Johnston sits down with Erick to explore his remarkable journey.

Erick shares stories of his early years on military bases, the culture shock of moving to Nebraska in seventh grade, and his time at Bellevue West playing football, basketball and baseball. We learn about his path to Nebraska Basketball—his recruiting process, other sports he considered, and why he chose to play for Coach Danny Nee.  Of course, we can’t talk hoops without covering his 9 years in the NBA.

Don’t miss this incredible conversation with a true Nebraska sports legend.
