Basketball Superstar Ed O’Bannon and D.J. Allen Will Be the Guest Presenters at The Stirling Club Luncheon At Gordon Biersch (Paradise) Wednesday December3 Former basketball star Ed OBannon, one of the most influential figures in sports today, will be making a special speaking appearance at the Stirling Club on Dec. 3. OBannon, who won a national championship at UCLA in 1995 and was later an NBA first round draft pick, took the lead in challenging the NCAA on its use of images of former NCAA student-athletes for commercial purposes. Although the verdict went his way, OBannon was not seeking compensation. OBannon, teaming with author and speaker D.J. Allen, will tell his story of Courage Off the Court ranging from coming back from a devastating knee injury prior to his much-anticipated freshman season at UCLA (doctors thought he might never walk normal again) to publicly challenging the NCAA and the impact that has had on his career, and, ultimately, his life. His stories help others to embrace the challenges they are facing and inspire others to make courageous life decisions. ***************************************************************** As your proud President of the Stirling Club I am jumping backflips to announce Ed O’Bannon’s special presentation with D.J.
