Want to see more of Arthur Ashe on the Dick Cavett Show? Here he discusses the tactics used to beat Jimmy Connors at Wimbledon! th-cam.com/video/APOWkTjdwus/w-d-xo.html
It is such a joy listening to interviews of the late, great Arthur Ashe! He was such a wonderful ,gentle, and humble human being! And a very underrated tennis champion in the history of tennis! The world misses him tremendously.
Underrated ? I wasn’t born so could you please explain. In black tennis players I always hear of 4. Venus and Serena, Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe. I’ve been learning about him a lot lately and I was devastated to learn he was no longer with us and hadn’t been for a longtime.
@@TheWoodland12 Although Arthur Ashe is highly regarded in the pro tennis community for his accomplishments both as a tennis champion and for his and Anthea Gibson's being the first very successful Black male and female athletes in tennis history, I get the distinct impression that he is not as widely regarded as an all-time great player by modern tennis fans and the mainstream sports news media. Modern tennis fans and the sports news media tend to have very narrow vision when it comes to all-time greatness in sports by overemphasizing the greatness of modern pro athletes, while, at the same time, minimizing, ignoring or dismissing completely the greatest athletes of the past in the various sports by failing to examine in detail the underlying reasons/factors why the modern athletes only appear to be greater than their previous and earlier era counterparts. For example, in tennis, modern fans and news media so-called "experts" totally fail to see that the deplorable changes in the game of tennis including the adoption of graphite rackets, the lubricated co-polyestor strings - which add 20% more spin to the ball than regular, non-lubricated strings - the larger Type3 tennis ball and harder Type1 tennis ball, the abandonment of the lightening fast indoor supreme court carpet surface, the recent abandonment of the very fast, DecoTurf2 hard court surface at the U.S. Open, the change in the composition of the grass courts at Wimbledon in 2001 all have combined to unfairly favor baseline play over net play and have all contributed to an irrefutable degradation of the once beautifully balanced and nuanced game of tennis! Tennis used to have a wonderful and necessary balance between baseline play and net play which in the wood and metal rackets era in tennis history (which, truth be told, was real tennis) enabled the game to have a wonderful diversity of playing styles - a diversity which is absolutely essential in order to maintain the game as a compelling spectacle! But with the regrettable changes in the game cited above, the game has eroded into a one-dimensional, tediously boring, sleep-inducing, wonderful cure for insomnia, baseline, "war of attrition ", endless slugfest! As the late former prosecutor and author Vincent T. Bugliosi accurately wrote, "the mainstream media can invariably be counted upon to do only a modicum of analytical thinking"!
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades. I got nothing against the celebs that appeared on this show BTW.
Fun story: I waited on Arthur Ashe at our local country club (north of NYC) in about 1990, and he was a gentleman if a bit peeved at the time for some reason. Now years later I have a pacemaker-defibrillator and am a cardiac sarcoidosis patient. My father and uncle and grandfather all died from heart issues.
I'm going to die of heart issues as well, maybe cancer too. I'm going for a trifecta with advanced dementia with parkinsonian symptoms. I hope to accomplish this within the year; perhaps even sooner. Then my sister will have a jolly good laugh and say, "look at that stupid twat. He certainly got what he deserved."
@@prezidenttrump5171 indeed. None of us know if this, or tonight, is our last moment. It’s a good time to check if you’re ready to go. Are you? Mr. Ashe came to that understanding by the time I met him. He died in the end of compilations of AIDS. An admirable life, I wish I’d appreciated him more at the time.
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like the other Cavett ones.
Heart disease is not hereditary. Heart disease is because of diet, stress and lack of exercise. Too much carbs and diabetes causes plaque in the arteries, not high cholesterol.
Drinking alcohol too much, stress, obesity, narcotics, smoking, leading a mostly sedentary lifestyle, yes, can lead to heart disease. Yet, some people are born having problems with heart that present serious problems in aulthood. Maybe Arthur took drugs or meds that hurt his heart. Maybe he was born with problems with heart. Luck of the draw, too. You never know in life. I mean that guy was in great shape compared with most all others, most all of his life.
@@andrewrivera4029 Lack of daily or near daily good exercise and poor eating habits causes a huge percentage of deaths in world. Shortens your life makes you look and feel like garbage. Eating sugary foods, butterry foods over and over just eating too much in general and leading a sedentary lifestyle heavily contributes to bringing on sadness in life. It really does.

Can’t stop watching these Dick Cavetti clips. Great show. Interesting to see the stars of the day discuss there lives so openly.

A.A. is such a positive role model
Ashe is a phony. He was a notorious smoker in the locker room according to his peers. He does not mention that here.
What does that have to do with the type of person he was. You’re insane.
@@indoorteacher1653 He is not a role model. He is a liar. Liars are not role models.
@@Better_Call_Raul First he was a smoker, now a liar. Can't you just let this man rest in peace.
Great Arthur Ashe.
More of Mr. Ashe!!!
One of if not the most intelligent tennis player ever. Such a legend.

That wasn't a fun story at all.
I hope you’re able to overcome these issues. the previous commenter was right, that was not a fun story haha.
He always seemed like a perfect gentleman.

People seem to have lost this kind of depth.
How did he end up getting aids?
From one of his open heart surgeries, likely the one he had in 1983. The early 80s were the worst time to get blood transfusions. He was a great man.
He liked pork and red meat. And alcohol.

Not all heart disease is hereditary. But there are hereditary (familial) heart diseases.
Right, excessive sugar consumption and chronically high insulin due to frequent eating. The SAD (standard American diet)

Yeah, both of Arthur's parents died due to heart problems.
