by Danny Rumph Classic Podcast
Brandon Hough joined the podcast to talk about the growth of the Rumph Classic, his AAU team Shawn Warren Elite, and the role basketball plays in life.
Two regulars playing for Team Rumph Center in the tournament each year, the Givens brothers, talk coming up in Philly hoops together, memorable tournament moments and how basketball continues to be an important part of their lives.
The Rumph Classic is the premiere event of the Daniel E. Rumph II Foundation. On this episode, Danny's mother, Ms. Candy, and his uncle, Marcus Owens share their memories of Danny along with all the important work of the foundation to #SaveTheNextBrightStar.
Two of Danny's closest childhood friends, Sharif Bray and Sharif Hanford, join the show to help paint the picture of who Danny was; both as a person and a basketball player. The pair also relive Sharif Bray's 2011 Rumph Classic game winner.
We sat down with Rumph Classic tournament director Mike Morak to discuss his background in event planning and how the tournament has grown since its inception in 2005. Mike also shares a few favorite memories from the last 18 years.
