Mike Kennedy got his first basketball and basketball hoop when he was 9 years old. He also got a crystal radio set where he could tune into a few radio stations.
“It was just something about the combination of those two things at the same time,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy said he would lay in bed at night and listen to the Wichita State, KU and K-State basketball games on the radio.
“I really kind of had it in the back of my mind as I was growing up that that’s something I might like to do someday,” Kennedy said.
