502’s own. Butler High School legend. Louisville Cardinals standout. One of the most respected names in Louisville women’s basketball.
This week on The Player’s Perspective Uncensored with Larry O’Bannon, we welcome Tia Gibbs to the show. 🎙️🔴⚫️
Tia takes us through her basketball journey, from growing up dreaming of playing for Pat Summitt and Tennessee, to being inspired by stars like Ivory Latta and Louisville legend Sarah Nord.
She reflects on her time at Louisville, the impact Jeff Walz has had on her life both on and off the court, and why she’s grateful the university has continued to believe in one of the most successful coaches in the game.
Tia also opens up about overcoming injuries, persevering through adversity, and reliving Louisville’s unforgettable 2013 Final Four run.
This is a conversation filled with basketball history, perspective, resilience, and plenty of stories from one of the city’s own.
New episode drops tonight at midnight.

I remember going to the KY Center a couple of times in the early 2000’s to watch Peabo Bryson headline the @CrusadeChildren. He was so generous and great with kids. Wonderful entertainer. RIP Peabo. 🙏
Never forget that in March 2020, Whoopi Goldberg said "I'm hoping Dr. Jill becomes the surgeon general... she's a hell of a doctor."
Her co-hosts then uncomfortably explained Jill Biden had doctorate in Education, not a medical degree.
All time retard moment.
Louisville’s commercial corridors would be so much better if we buried the utility lines. We would have more people, more small businesses, and generate more taxes.
