Bayless hasn’t played since early February, but he chuckled at those early-season memories. “It’s definitely different,” he told ESPN.com. “It’s not a normal NBA rotation. Guys are rhythm players. To play for two minutes, and then go out for five — that’s tough.”
Ira Winderman: Jerryd Bayless inactive for 76ers; Embiid is active.
Molly French: Brett Brown’s answer when I asked about the latest on @Jerryd Bayless was telling: He showed Game 6 of 2003 Western Conference Finals to his team…the Steve Kerr effect with four quick 3s to lift the Spurs. “Everybody has to stay ready.”
They talked about education, books, his expansive African-American art collection — particularly the painting that hung from a living-room wall titled, “A Pedigree of Some Note.” The conversation turned to real estate, New York’s top art galleries, and current events. Suddenly, after two hours, one of the visitors noticed that the 76ers guard had nothing basketball-related in his residence. It struck her as odd. But it’s not to those who know him.
Bayless, who lives full-time in New York in the offseason, is a real estate owner back in his hometown of Phoenix. He’s taking online classes this semester at the University of Arizona, where he’s 27 credits shy of getting his bachelor’s degree in Afro-American history. Bayless also reads the New York Times thoroughly every day before dawn. And he’s a philanthropist.
It’s easy to see why Bayless is consumed with helping others, especially the disadvantaged. His parents, Bowman and the late Dr. Michael Brad Bayless, basically raised him and his brother, Justin, to be that way. Dr. Bayless was a clinical and forensic psychologist. A trailblazer and advocate for mental health care in Arizona, he founded Bayless Integrated Healthcare in 1982. His vision was to provide quality, compassionate and affordable health care for individuals from all demographics.
