for giving us your time you know how to welcome a guy Hey listen man we we appreciate you giving us your time and being here with us uh today uh you do a lot it’s not just what you are as a basketball player who you’ve been at the Collegiate Level Pro level as well as as an analyst for years now as well which is probably where a lot of us know and love you from as well uh it’s it’s also who you are as a person and your attention to detail uh in the community that’s something that’s stuck with me I’ve covered the pistes now three and a half years seeing you at the events like whole worth park dedication uh where the Pistons went through the community and and redid what 60 60 courts and 44 Parks if I remember correctly St sicilia’s gym the restoration of not just the gym but that block and the impact that it has in the community as well uh this is what your legacy is and I’m I’m I’m grateful that you’re able to give us your time here this morning man well thanks for having me I appreciate it you got a wonderful setup here and uh you can feel the enthusiasm that you guys all share uh the moment you walk in so thank you pleasure to be here I’ll try and not bring you down oh no

uh to see this not just what happens in front of the cameras but also off the cameras as well but um Earl kuron passed away uh earlier this year in February another one of those guys who was deep in the community loved Detroit with a passion and gave he showed it he wore it on his sleeve man he gave his all but he passed away and you guys especially doing the community self for thick as theves I wanted you be able to just share a few words on ER Earl curon yeah Earl and I met in the summer of 1973 we were both 15 years old we were trying out for the Detroit youth team which was a team that would travel and represent the city of Detroit in the National Youth games which were held that year in Birmingham Alabama so we were trying out for the team and uh we met we became good friends and Earl play played at PNY High School I played at Detroit uh Henry Ford High School we actually played against each other in high school um but there was always a camaraderie there I always pulled for him cheered for him he did the same for me when he uh uh left to go to Robert Morris uh University and uh and then the University of Detroit I was a big fan he always checked in on me when I was at s when I was at Michigan State he was thrilled when we won the championship in 1979 I was equally as thrilled for him when he won two championships in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Houston Rockets um my basketball camps which started in 1978 Earl was right there with us he sort of sort of like a a a a co-owner if you will because he was so passionate about the kids and he was very integral to Our Success with the basketball camps that are still running Now 46 years later we miss him dearly and um so much so that we’re dedicating this summer of basketball camps to Earl kuron his uh his number and his uh his initials EC will be on the shirts and we’ll talk to the kids about Earl and remind them of his commitment to their development that’s that’s a man that’s awesome to hear we we uh when he pass away we honored him on the show he did a lot for me over the years as well making me getting me comfortable on the beat so it’s man yo that’s awesome to hear your basketball camps you’re you’re looking uh to continue kind of this Legacy of impacting kids in the community as well tell me about these basketball camps that are coming up it started for me in 1978 uh I’m sorry 77 I actually worked the Bob laner dick Vel basketball camp at um West Bloomfield High School that summer and it was a tremendous camp and I remember the thing I took away we always tell the kids take something away other than basketball take something away that maybe you did not have when you entered the building on Monday you depart the building on Friday and if it’s only basketball that you can speak of then somehow we’ve missed the missed the boat we we can do far more than that well I did that I experienced that for myself because when I went into that camp on Monday in 1977 I went in as a c as a counselor as a coach and my responsibility was to the kids and to teach and instruct them on the uh fundamentals of basketball but I walked out of there thinking I can do this too so I began to think in that direction and the very next year I had my own basketball camp and uh as I said it’s been uh it’s been is still here 46 years later the thing that we try to do but you know I’ll say this our camp has invol our C our camp has evolved a lot over the many years it’s not it’s truly not just basketball we have all kinds of exercises and uh experiences at the camps from classroom activity where we encourage the kids to put the same energy that they utilize out on the court into becoming better basketball players use that in the classroom to become better students because ultimately your your your most success is going to be rooted in your the foundation that you provide educationally for yourself so we encourage that we have um you know kids always love to see basketball players come in so we have some of that we never know who our special guests are going to be that stop by and talk to the kids but we also have people from other walks of life we’ve had lawyers we’ve had doctors we’ we had policemen we’ve had um uh uh folks we we we got a Mini Med camp where we have Physicians come in and set up a table and Exhibits and talk to the kids in case they might want to go into the into the medical field a few years ago when there was a lot of civil unrest and um police were being portrayed as people to fear because of some of the things that were going on in the country uh we had we asked some policemen to come in and talk to the kids come in in uniform let them see you let them feel you let them know that they’re not to be feared um so we try to cover a lot of different areas with our boys and girls over the course of the week and then of course we do teach a lot of basketball we play a lot of basketball because our goal is to make sure that they uh grow that skill which is why they’re there but yeah it’s important that we use that time for other things too that that is amazing to hear and um you know what locations are your camps at this year and where can people go to uh to register to be a part of such an impactful uh event our camp start on Monday coming up July 15th we will be at West Bloomfield High School uh we’ve been there many years it’s a great facility and uh they’ve all been always been very welcoming and supportive of our efforts so West Bloomfield Camp is next week the following week we will be at southfields University Academy High School okay and simultaneously the you United Wholesale Mortgage Sports Complex in Pontiac will be there so I’ll be jumping back and forth I’m at every Camp every day uh I want to have that impact I want the kids to see and feel me um and if you want to register for these camps you can do it simply by going to Gregory ker.com I always say not Greg Gregory ker.com basketball it’ll take you right there Gregory ker.com basketball and boys and girls ages 7 to 17 are welcome the camps run from 9 to um 2:30 each day we also have a Camp a specialty camp in Detroit that we do that’ll be next week as well but that’s full um that’s a community service effort on our part to provide that opportunity uh for the boys and girls in the city but um you know the legacy of our camps are that we uh we love it when people come back and say hey I attended your Camp many many years ago and I learned this and you talked this and you said this and it changed my life it changed my attitude about education and so on and so forth and it was very valuable in my life it’s not uncommon for someone 60 years old to come up and say they went to the basketball camp because after all when I first started I was only 20 and the kids in that camp were five excuse me 15 five years younger than me yeah I’m in my middle 60s now so there it is wow Mr keler it’s amazing to hear about all the all the non-basketball life lessons and things you’re teaching at these camps using basketball as the the the vessel to get the kids there and teaching them do you feel that’s more and more important these days not just with how Society is but also with nil and college athletes there’s more focus on the the specialty athlete or on you know uh uh plan a plan B and plan C is making it to the NBA or the major leagues or the NFL this is actually teaching kids from 7 to 17 different life lessons is it becoming more important it’s it’s very important um we had a kid that attended our camp for eight years play in the NBA Finals that just ended Jaden Hardy with the Dallas Mavericks attended our camp for eight years his father worked at the camp for over 20 years um we don’t promise that we’re going to make your child an NBA player and and we’re not going to make your kid really anything your kid and your efforts at home as parents that’s what’s going to push them and and and secure their successes but what we like to do we like to think that we play a little small part because every experience has value and we like to think that what we’re able to provide enhances what you’re hearing at home what you’re hearing in school that’s all geared towards your own development and helping you reach your best potential so to your question yes it’s essential I think because there are a lot of distractions out there there are lot of things pulling kids potentially in a bad Direction you know there there has to be an effort to keep everybody on the right on the right track so that’s uh that’s what we try to emphasize um and also encourage the kids as we said most of them are not going to play professional basketball or professional sport of any kind but that doesn’t mean that they can’t find great success in whatever field they choose to uh pursue um that’s really the message of message that we convey each and every day and as you indicated basketball is the lure that’s what brings kids to the uh to the to the gymnasium they’re not always happy to find that they may have to go into the classroom an hour you know during each day but they end up at the end of the week saying that was a lot of fun know we didn’t expect that that’s awesome it’s introducing them to a path that they might not have known prior and it’s not just telling them what they could do but showing them as well uh kind of leading by example absolutely love that and you know aside from the camps I know another way that you make a huge impact in many people’s lives is what you do alongside George Blaha and I want to get into like some Detroit Piston’s talk on the other side of the break but before that I just wanted you to be able to talk about uh your radio your your longtime TV partner George Blaha and if broadcasting was a plan of yours before you made it to the NBA when did that become a thought it’s a good followup yeah you know it’s funny how things happen you know we we uh we always say you know get the most education that you possibly can um because on that on that Journey you’re going to learn things that are going to be critical regardless to again whatever field you go in because of the perseverance and and the determination and dedication that it takes to exceed in school and to get a degree if that is to be the case so I never were I I graduated with a social science degree in criminal justice um I was thinking about becoming an attorney I never did that because I met someone in broadcasting during my senior year uh playing basketball at Michigan State during a press conference after one of our NCA tourn games I met someone who changed my life who worked in broadcasting became a friend and became a mentor as well taught me the ropes and I decided right then that I wanted to work in broadcasting but it was my my work and effort to become uh you know to earn a degree at Michigan State that helped me with all the things that were going to be necessary to pursue the career and broadcasting that I you know now enjoy and I have enjoyed for over 40 years you mentioned George Blaha I met George when I was uh and by the way that gentleman his name was Charlie Neil Charlie Neil was a local sports ankor who lives in DC now still works in the business brought me to bet which was my first broadcasting job yeah when he became Sports director and I retired from the NBA he brought me to bet and that’s where it all started um but I Met George Blaha when I was 18 years old at Michigan State he was doing Michigan State football that’s right I never knew that I would work with him because he wasn’t even doing NBA basketball when first met him he got the job a year later uh he’s been with the Pistons now for almost 50 years um George has also been very instrumental and helpful in my career because as we know he’s an icon he’s a pro uh he’s very very good at what he does and I’ve learned a lot from him and working beside him has been an honor and a pleasure um we’re both very passionate about it and I I can see his level of pre preparation and all that goes into him providing a great broadcast and I try to mimic that uh i’ be remissed if I didn’t mention Fred McLoud the late Fred McLoud who I worked with for 13 years he said he had that same type of work ethic and that same kind of impression on me in terms of what it takes to enjoy longevity in this field because you know it can have turnover uh I find that those that work the hardest and that continue to try to get better and better and better are the ones that last the longest so I’ve learned from some of the best in the business that it’s amazing to hear your journey especially with the Journey that we’re all on I know somebody everybody here is very they try to be as prepared that guy there flanos Sam he definitely sets the bar he sets the bar here at the network very well prepared gentlemen but I I this is a lot of good stuff the chat the chat they are um really exatic and appreciative of the impact and the attention to um what you do in the community so uh I I’m glad that that is something that’s resonating just beyond the sports of it all but I I know we got to talk about the Detroit business we’re going to go to break we get back we got to talk to the legend Greg keler about the Detroit Pistons man uh but first let me tell you about Swiss insurance now more than ever it is critical for you to have your insurance reviewed hey welcome back to wake up w we appreciate you guys for choosing a kickoff today with the wake up with Rec crew as the legend Grand cser also you keep calling me Legend I’m going go home and tell my wife you are the legend bro I’m going to go home and tell her I’m a legend and see what she says you no I’m not going to try that I’m not going to try that at all I know my wife loves me but she ain’t going to lie to me right but thank you guys chat family for uh being engaging for staying tapped in and as I always say being on one word to Eduardo O’Neal go on ahead and smash that like button for the woo crew and for Greg keler let’s jump back into this thing yeah it’s been it’s been awesome like I said hearing about your connection with Earl curan George Blaha um everything that you want to do as it relates to the camps and and your journey in media it it’s been uh it’s been an awesome thing to hear so far and uh we got to jump into Detroit Pistons conversation as well you’ve seen a lot of Detroit Pistons basketball and I I think one of the things I like a lot about you as an analyst is you don’t mince your words you’re very very real and you you get right to the truth of the matter with the Detroit Pistons and obviously the last couple years have not been good I just wanted your kind of quick take on what they were and kind of what you’re seeing in this transition to tras and Lon I think last year was truly a uh a very very tough experience for everybody that was involved in it um not just the players on the floor and the coaches uh we as broadcasters but just everybody in the building everybody Affiliated it was a tough year because no one saw that coming the year began with a lot of enthusiasm expectations we thought that you know with with uh Monty Williams coming in new coach uh few new players that they would begin to make a path towards um playin or playoff contention yeah uh and then the season started wonderfully I remember after the first three games hopes uh were incredibly High yeah you know after they go down to Miami and nearly beat the heat in a great game and then go to Charlotte and went on the road and come back home and beat the Bulls in their opener to two and one they were um they seemed and and they seem to be doing it with defense first yeah uh and then all of a sudden the bottom just fell out you know we lost to Portland I think we lost to maybe OKC or something and we were uh on our way to a 28 game losing streak who could have ever ever have envisioned that it still seems uh you know unreal to even say that 208 game losing streak distance man yeah so uh it started very difficult and then we started losing players and we just couldn’t keep a firm firm lineup in there steady and and it just it went it it got even worse and when the season 6 months to marinate on this so everybody should be working hard to get better and come in the camp healthy and ready to get it going um I I still believe in this team and after what we saw yesterday and what’s happening right now with the new um leadership yeah I’m encouraged I I left the building and you’re right you hear that same thing all the time every time there’s a press conference introducing a new coach or new GM or new president it’s usually always the same uh expressions but there was something that felt a little different because uh maybe of the stoicism that we saw in the faces of the gentlemen that were on this on the podium yeah um making no promises uh acknowledging that there’s a lot of work to to be done but they seem to have a clear path and View and and and uh plan yeah for making it happen and hopefully sooner than later so yeah uh listening to JB bicker staff and of course Tran Langdon yesterday I left there thinking okay let’s get it going let’s get it going and Mr kelter I not to focus on the losing too much but I just have sort of one final question how how thin is that line where a young team young players um the line be between being deflated or feeling defeated vers using that losing as motivation I know when you were drafted the Pistons it wasn’t like dick vital was a coach if I remember correctly it’s not like it was the most winning environment at that time it took a little bit of time how how how do these how does this young team tow that line of being defeated versus using it as motivation to never happen again well I speak to you from from experience I had the same thing happen to me um coming off a national championship in Michigan State I’m drafted by uh the Pistons who were in a rebuild and um you know we only won 16 games and I can tell you when when you lose that many games I could easily go back and find you 10 wins for the Pistons this past season because there were at least 10 10 games that they could have should have won facts and it was the same thing with us back in 79 we were a young team we had five rookies on the team we had two more players that were in their second year so we weren’t going anywhere in a 23 Team league uh you you you weren’t going to win with youth like that and and we knew it but we worked hard we gave it the best we could and and we tried to stay together this team this year did stay together they they still pulled for each other there was no dissension or cracking or splintering or anything or finger pointing anything like that uh that’s good that speaks to the leadership that was there that kept that intact because when you’re losing it can easily fragment uh most of the times it does um but the line you speak of is is a very fine line so fine that if you go back two three years we had a game in Oklahoma City late in the season Oklahoma and the Oklahoma had a bunch of guys out there you never heard of they were trying to map out their future and what they were going to do and the Pistons were pretty much in the same boat I mean I really had to have a a big roster in front of me to know who these players were cuz many of them on the Oklahoma City side i’ had not heard of Oklahoma city has the best record in the uh in the Western Conference last year two three years later okay so that’s how fine that line is and that’s why you have hope that uh you know it doesn’t have to stay this way for very long if you’re a Pistons fan um you make the right decisions you catch some luck you get some good health uh you know you you make a couple of good drafts and and that sort of things things can turn around in basketball maybe much quicker than they can in some of the other sports yeah and speaking of that fine line you mentioned there were about 10 games where the Pistons maybe let it slip away some of their problems with their youth or coaching or whatnot maybe cost them some wins do you believe the Pistons brought in the right players the right coach the right president of basketball associations to help get those 10 wins plus maybe some more I certainly hope so and yes I do think so um there’s one loss that stands out in my mind and still bothers me because it happened right at midcourt in front of George and myself in New York late in the season you know there was a foul that occurred right there uh as uh Devon chenzo just Ram roded assar Thompson off of a loose ball Pistons had a lead it was in the waning seconds of the game it was a clear F the NBA admitted it afterwards but that played to the respect that you don’t get when you’re a a struggling basketball team Arad Thomson was blown up football style off the ball no call New York gets the basketball and then scores and gets an n one at the bucket with under 10 seconds to go to to win that basketball game that should not have happened now that was on the officials in my mind but there were plenty other things that the Pistons themselves were responsible for whether it was not getting a rebound uh maybe missing a a free throw or uh you know a shot that they would normally make that could have spelled the difference between winning and losing missing a defensive assignment whatever uh I know they lost two games I believe on tapions where they could have got a rebound tapions at the buzzer so again easily could go back and and find your 10 wins but yeah the the the people coming in I like what they’re doing they’re mixing really good solid veterans with the youth that they have and the veterans can still play they still got a lot of juice left they can perform on the court but additionally these guys that they’re bringing in are used to playing not missing games that’s a and that’s a good a lesson for the young guys to see and be around and experience these guys going out there regardless of whether they you know are nicked up a little bit they go out they play they perform they be they’re professional that’s what you want your young players to see on a day in day out basis in The Practice Facility how they gear themselves up how they prepare to get ready how they come with the right attitude so that’s why you try and mix veterans with the young players and you hope that it mix mix mixes and meshes uh the way it’s supposed to Houston’s doing that very thing right now and they’re having success with it they are absolutely and Greg thanks again for joining us uh today man um K Cunningham just signed his rookie Max 5 years $224 million and last year you can just see the the toll that that the season took on this kid man with all the losing and everything going on but even through all of that he still stuck through it um the best he could at the podium and things of that nature now Tron wants to build this the right way and I I’m in total agreeance to that but on the same token you never want to tell a Detroit uh fan to be patient you know so while Tran wants to not cut corners and build this thing the right way I do feel like there needs to be some kind of urgency to to not you know let the losing continue too long because you have a star like K Cunningham now on a rookie Max contract that could ask out you know uh you know before the the contract is over where do you feel the balance needs to be between trying to accelerate this process but also taking your time and doing it the right way it’s a delicate blend but you have to uh you I think you have to understand that uh where patience is required you can’t resist it you got to you got to go with it now if something materializes that can help you accelerate but not derail the progress then you make that decision at that time yeah um I like the approach I like the fact that they’re not promising playoffs next year they don’t have to get to the playoffs for the season to be a tremendous success yeah um but we want to see that progress yeah you know think about the Lions and what they did year before last yeah you know they started off miserably they did and then they got it going and then people got in you know got a little bit more excited about it and they finished that season beautifully couple of years ago I remember they won that game in Green Bay kep them out of the playoffs and uh you know R in a place that’s very tough for the Lions to win over the decades and then they were able to Parlay that into what happened last year same thing with the uh same thing with the Pistons there’s no magic uh Elixir that you can sprinkle over everybody and and have it and guarantee that it will change but here’s the thing I find when you start to get a few wins when you start to experience a little success now you start to expect those wins and and even in the most uh dire situations you start to believe that we’re going to we’re going we’re going we’re going to achieve you know we’re going to be okay it’s the same thing with losing when you lose a few games and and then you know people get hurt and then the bottom starts to to become a little shaky you almost expect something bad to happen right so you know it it it can happen I think uh it can happen fast but you have to be smart and Leadership has to be um very very wise in uh and knowing when to accelerate and maybe when to you know pump the break just a little bit Yeah that’s the responsibility that tran langen and his staff now has and as far as Kate Cunningham I’m very happy they signed him I think he’s a an absolute Beast I think he’s a stud I mean he demonstrated that when he played especially late in the season and they were going nowhere but when he was out on the floor man he was fun to watch because he was UN Unstoppable yeah and the things that he’s able to do with the ball in his hands and the mid-range nobody can guard him um the one thing I say he has to improve on he has to improve on his ball care because he’s going to draw double teams he’s got to be able to pass out of those double teams without the ball being deflected or stolen um I’d like to see him get maybe a few more rebounds but he can pass the basketball he can score it and on nights when his three-point shot is going then 30 points is pretty much guaranteed mhm nice I love to hear that Andy you know what Greg we got one more question we got our Sparty in the house JB smooth GRE Mr keler thank you so much once again as kg said for joining us here today and let me tell you right now it’s just an uphill battle cuz I’m the only Spartan on the show Dam that makes you unique I know right so every single day you don’t understand how much of an uphill battle it is but I want to take you back for a moment and just show you a picture of not only yourself but you and Magic Johnson back in 1979 at MSU and my question to you is are you still in connection with Magic Johnson do you all still talk uh have you seen him lately what what’s new with Magic Johnson it’s probably been a uh maybe uh maybe a year since I last saw Urban um and yes we are still very much in contact all my teammates we’re very close uh you know we experienced something that is uh rare and unique and uh it bonded us for life so um uh you know I might talk to Jay Vincent one day I might talk to Terry Donnelly another day I might talk to Iran I might talk to Ron Charles uh you know all we were all very close and uh that picture that you just showed uh was taken at the uh at the Brody Brody complex on the basketball court we had just got brand new Mercedes really okay go on them yeah we had just bought brand new 1979 Mercedes 450cl mine was a beautiful uh shade of red and his was a a powder blue and we were very happy proud and so we decided you know a photographer got with us and we rode around campus taking pictures we took pictures in front of jenerson field house we took pictures on the uh basketball court and we didn’t know that those pictures were going to be in pretty much every national public the next day they were newspapers newspapers all across the country uh with the heading uh this is what NBA stardom or basketball you know a great future in basketball can provide uh and believe it or not I still have mine I still have my car yeah 40 45 years it looks just like it does on that picture and uh and it and it runs beautifully that is aw this been this has been awesome man to have you on and kind of hear about the man behind just the basketball this has been if I had known you were going to show that picture I would have I would have driven it and put it right out front w wow we have to set something up might have to come back and we got to do a round two we got to do a round two we’ll definitely come by and check out the camps as well and you know it’s cool to hear about you and Magic I know you expounded on that at St Cecilia when they were doing their uh their kind of rededication uh to the renovation of the gym in that area it was just cool to hear all the different Legends including you and magic all of the different relationships that started right in D Detroit yeah that’s it was a it was an awesome story to hear yeah I met iring on the steps of uh St Cecilia we we we met each other for the very first time shook hands right there on the steps I was a senior in high school he was a sophomore uh we met we greeted each other I knew who he was he knew who I was um one of the thing I was one of the things that uh Michigan State said to me when they were recruiting me was that our goal is to sign you in 1975 sign Urban Johnson in 1979 and we believe that if we’re able to do that you guys will win a national championship before you leave and it happened wait wait wait wait so they knew they called the shot to special okay yeah Magic Johnson they knew that that was a formula and it worked out it did work out I mean you know it’s easier said than done but um Urban was right there in Lancing so they were well aware of him as a high schooler you know if this were today Urban wouldn’t play high school basketball he’d go straight to the pros cuz he could have done it then he was that good wow can I thinking one last Pistons question related to your time at Michigan State too because you were um if I’m not mistaken the first Big 10 player ever with 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds as a forward I want to ask about Jaylen Duran what advice would you give or what’s the next step in his game he’s so young but there’s so much potential he does have a tall playmaking guard to get him the Rock from your experience what would you say to Jaylen derer what is that next step I would encourage him to watch as much film as he can of my miam bam out of Bio because they are similar we we just said this yesterday I love this we did that’s crazy their their their bodies are similar let’s go their skills are similar both have great jumping ability big hands um excuse me God bless you healthiness hey fever in here no I think that um I think this the sky really is is a limit for Jaylen durren because he’s gifted he’s athletic uh he doesn’t ever have to be a three-point shooter because bam isn’t I think bam I think bam maybe made five or six three-pointers last year one of them took the Pistons down we were there we were in the building that that was4 night that’s that’s what I’m talking about see stuff like crazy stuff like that know could have held the ball till the end of the game the he he took the shot too early yeah there you go learning lessons yeah learning lessons so I think that that I think that durran can do the same thing I can be I think he can be a great rim protector he does have to maybe improve his footwork around the basket understanding what is a good shot what is not uh continue to work on the offensive glass and he could he could be an Allstar in this league he’s young he’s only like 20 so uh it it I think it all will depend on how hard he’s willing to work study and put the time in to make himself one of the best players in the league let’s go I like this man so great Community impact hope for our Detroit Pistons uh and just being able to talk to an absolute Legend I’m keep saying that in Greg keler you know we’re going to hold you to it now we got to have you back for a around two and next time you got to bring that Mercedes I will yes it’s got to be in the uh it’s got to been the spring summer or fall though it sees no it sees no snow he already know that that’s how you know that he is from Detroit I love it thank you for your time been
