The Athletic recently covered the story of NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry, known for his fierce competitive edge, who has taken his competitive spirit to the pickleball court. After dominating the basketball world, Barry competes at the highest level in pickleball, winning a triple crown at this year’s Minto US OPEN Pickleball Championships. Here’s how the basketball legend is thriving: 🔹 Competitive Spirit: Barry brings the same intensity to pickleball as he did to the NBA, saying, "I’m out there to win." His relentless drive has made him one of the top players in the 80+ age group. 🔹 Physical Edge: With his 6-foot-7 frame, sharp reflexes, and hand-eye coordination, Barry is tough to beat. His serve is a major weapon, giving him the upper hand to start the point. 🔹 Pickleball Advocacy: Barry promotes the sport heavily, and has encouraged fellow NBA stars like Chris Mullin and Hakeem Olajuwon to take it up. He sees pickleball as a phenomenon that "is not going away anytime soon.” For Barry, pickleball is more than a retirement hobby—it's the perfect arena for him to keep winning. This segment is proudly brought to you by The Dink Pickleball Newsletter.
