One of the things Ham brings to the Bulls and their young core is his understanding of what’s going on in the world right now. A couple of months ago, Ham opened up on a podcast about being a black man in today’s society and how it impacts him among his NBA coaching peers.
He is someone who has been there and done that as a player. He’s a guy who is invested in what’s happening in America and what the players are attempting to help bring change within.
