Bill Russell, Jim Pollard, Paul Silas, Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, Damian Lillard …. These are just a few of the generational talents who have ascended from the blacktops of Oakland to the top echelons of the NBA. In this talk, historian and author Paul Brekke-Miesner explores how one small city in Northern California has produced several prolific ballers who have left indelible marks on the game of basketball.
A native and life-long resident of Oakland, Paul Brekke-Miesner is a keen observer and champion of sports in ‘The Town’ since the 1960s. He covered local sports for the Berkeley Gazette and Oakland Tribune for years, and in 2014 wrote the consummate history of Oakland sports: Home Field Advantage: Oakland – The City That Changed the Face of Sports. He has also presented on Oakland’s dynamic sporting history at the Oakland History Room, Alameda County Historical Society and the Oakland Heritage Alliance.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
