    I never really got to know Sheed. He hated the media so much taht he was just flat out rude to all of them. One night I told him "good game" and he ignored me.

    Here is the full interview. I set the link to jump past the first 20 mins before they bring Sheed out.

    IT'S F'ING AWESOME! Great stories. He even tells the full Yellow Hummer story.

    10/10 GuaranSheed Must Listen!

    Got a headband from Sheed once. Was so sweaty it melted the paper head on a stick I was carrying it with: into the garbage.

    Do you still have it? With Sheed DNA you could clone him!

    I just found one at a thrift store today and saved it from the eventual landfill.

    I didn't like his antics in general, and I thought he was a shitty teammate to Sabonis. Talks shit about Walton.

    He was a spoiled baby.

    Fuck Sheed.

    It's like what someone said about Barkley: "Most people are assholes who want you to think they're nice. Charles is a nice guy who wants you to think he's an asshole".

    Nowadays Sheed would get called "neurodivergent".

    Watched some of full interview and will watch rest on TV. Sheed has the rare ability to laugh at himself.

    BTW didn't know his marriage ended. I imagine being married to him could be trying.

    Fun to listen to the full interview. Sounds like a funny and cool guy.

    But sill think he's one of the most overrated players by portland fans.

    Sheed doing color commentary for our broadcasts would be fucking awesome. The stories along with real understanding of the game.
