Welcome to "Sports Legends of the Carolinas," an award-winning multimedia project from The Charlotte Observer
Over 30 years at The Charlotte Observer, columnist Scott Fowler has built an unparalleled contact list of sports icons. Now, thanks to extraordinary access that fans won't get anywhere else, Fowler sits down for in-person, in-depth conversations with icons from the area -- including Steph Curry, Roy Williams, Dawn Staley, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and more -- to hear the untold stories of their journeys to becoming "Sports Legends of the Carolinas." Visual journalist Jeff Siner's exclusive portraits and videos of each legend provide another remarkable look at some of the Carolinas' biggest stars.
Each interview also becomes a free podcast, available everywhere. Just search "Sports Legends of the Carolinas" or go to this link.
