Mellinger Minutes For Your Ears: Could Kansas City really land an NBA team eventually?

We can’t watch sports, but we don’t have to stop loving them.

This week on Mellinger Minutes for Your Ears, The Star’s subscriber-exclusive podcast, we present an ode to sports memories and a conversation with two Kansas Citians trying to land an NBA team for the downtown Sprint Center. Listen below.

Have a question for me? I’ll answer it on the podcast. Just give me a call at 816-234-4365.

Thank you for supporting us in this experiment. Let us know how we’re doing and how we can better reach you.
