Catching Up With Elijah Johnson

In this episode of The Jayhawker hosted by Nate Bukaty, former Kansas basketball star Elijah Johnson joins the show to share his journey on and off the court. Elijah opens up about life as a father and husband, as well as his work at Just4215, the gym where he trains kids to become pro basketball players. He talks about the techniques he uses with his players and how lessons from Bill Self have influenced his own coaching style. Elijah also reflects on how the game of basketball has evolved over the years, comparing it to the way it was played during his time, and looks ahead to the upcoming game against Iowa State. Along the way, he revisits his unforgettable 39-point performance against the Cyclones in 2013.
