    Pretty good episode. Talks alot about smoking up and a little about Toradol. Would have liked more about his relationship with Roy and Lillard but he does speak on it.

    Definitely listen thru the end. A few funny stories about Andre Miller. They try to get him to use his influence to possibly get Roy on the show and he does not even entertain the idea. Shows how Brandon is just not that type of person. Does agree that he will try with Oden.

    LMA talking about battling Zbo in practice for his first season being extremely important kind of makes me think of Scoot going against Brogdon in practice for his rookie season.

    Edit: That's crazy that Portland never offered to let LMA bring his kids on the plane but Popovich was like "sure bring them on the plane we're a family" lol.

    What sane parent would want their kids on a plane with Zbo?

    This was a great interview! No "y'know's" in the whole interview to speak of. LA sounds great.

    No "y^knows, but a lot of "long story shorts. Agreed though a good interview overall. He held back when talking about Nate but you can tell he could have roasted him. Didn't hear anything about Stotts.

    Isn't that rumored to be why Duncan didn't go to Orlando to team with McGrady? SA let him bring family on plane, Orlando wasn't going to.

    I loved hearing him talk about how important ZBo was to him and still is. Also that Dre is on his top player list. Dre was special.

    I saw the bit where he implied the team had him on the trade block. I don't remember that.

    There's a short list of people that I couldn't care less what they think about anything than Matt Barnes.

    Stephen Jackson is on that list.

    Well LMA's children weren't born yet when he played with Zbo. At least I don't think so maybe LMA had kids as a rookie could be wrong though.

    I do not know if they were serious but I do remember rumors that he was being shopped at one time.
