We first met Jim Wikman during an episode featuring him and his fellow NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament junkies aka The Basketball Mavens (S:3, E:12).
In this episode we catch up with Jim, learn about what The Mavens have in store for this year's Tourney (their 28th straight together), as well as his myriad sports travels.
Jim is certainly the first - and likely the final - guest on Conversations to have played golf with Arnold Palmer and hit with tennis legend, Serena Williams.
In addition, we learn of trips to Rose Bowls, World Series, Olympics, The Masters, and an NBA Championship ring! What could possibly be left on Jim's sports fan bucket list? You might be surprised.
Here is a link to the Mavens' book, The Basketball Mavens - Marching to Madness and their X/Twitter account to follow their journeys.
