Desmond mason, danny fortson, brent barry. Then allen got hurt and out came Ronald FLIP Murray. That one time they went like 13-0 to begin their season. And they drafted that long dude Robert Swift who bought a mansion as a rookie, then trashed it, and later abandoned with old pizza and molds all over the place. Lol
Rashard Lewis went to my rival school Elsik ,I went to Hastings .He graduated my freshman year ! Respect to Rashard 4 putting the SWAT on the map, truly was the truth in school, use to sneak over there to watch him play!
this podcast is so special, D&Q can relate to so many players in the 2000s era it was a fun time of basketball so many ballers that can get lost in the recency bias of today its fun to hear their stories
This interview only made Me even more Glad that Rashard made it and the player He became in The NBA A Straight up Baller and a Real 1 Salute My Brother 🙏
as good as he was back then, he would have thrived so much in today NBA cause of the way basketball is played now and also 3 and D wing is so hot at the moment. a SF/PF at 6'10 who shot nearly 40% from 3s with high volume... also a 80% FT shooter. Teams would have paid big bucks for him today
Greatest part of these podcasts is learning over and over again that the players I loved when I was younger, I also love as people. Rashard is no exception. Love this dude. Then, now, always.
Lewis was a walking bucket 🪣 really was a true stretch forward that would put the rock on the floor…really was a killer in the T-Mac era and a killer on NBA LIVE 🙌🏾…salute to this man bro definitely underrated as far as talent 🤜🏾🤛🏾‼️
What's up to the whole Lewis and Johnson family. Mama Juanita always treated me like family. Started in Winfield Park Apartments on Corporate Drive in Alief back in like 91. They stayed downstairs from me. His older bro Ricky even came to live with us once we moved to The Clarke. Always stayed humble, him nor his family never switched up, always kept it 100 with me. Even though we haven't talked in years never got into it once. Life just happened. Still love all y'all. I'm proud u Rashard. Always told u that Hope everything and everybody still straight. Ricky holla @ me
I went to school with him too....hate that I never seen him actually play tho. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. Shout out to them rams and them bears alief TX all day and all night. DA SWAT baby!
Would love to see an episode with the high schoolers that didn’t “make it” (together) to talk about the high school experience. Korleone Young, Lenny Cooke, Shea Cotton.
Sweet Lew!! once again y’all knucklehead boys keeping the heat on em with this classic player!! idk if it’s because i grew up in y’all era or what but when y’all be bringing in these players who was instrumental to my childhood hoop dreams! i remember calling anyone pro athlete who had the same last name as me, Lewis, my uncle! so shoutout y’all for having Uncle Shad!!
Man I love this podcast you guys go after more than just big household names shoutout to Knuckleheads for great interviews ! Side bar get JKidd on the show !
I fully agree!!! This is much better than sitting through first take and undisputed by a long shot. Players respecting each other no matter how thier careers shaped out. Hoopers know if you made a NBA team you a dog regardless!!!
I remember growing up watching Q and his Whitney Young squad (Henry, Gates, and Najeeb a true frosh).. IL had some tough teams those years.. King with Leon Smith and Sawyer, Westinghouse with Banks and Bailey Bros, Wade over at Richards, Maine West loaded that year too . Fenwick with Maggette.. Galesburg was no joke either.. That Joey Range could ball.. Good times!
It was truly disrespectful when they put harden, dame, and Anthony Davis over him. This dude was a 3 time defensive player of the year, rookie of the year, 8 time all nba, 5 time all defensive team and a million all star games and he’s not top 75?!
Could not agree more, him not being in the top 75 was a real shame. Politics had to have played a part because of how he forced his way out of Orlando and a few other moments in his career.
Y'all guys have the best guests. Some real killers that kind of got lost over the years. It fun to hear about the early days, before the big contracts.
Am I the only one who wouldn’t be mad at a Knucklehead’s x All The Smoke collab episode? Both sides asking each other questions about their careers. Each tandem played together. Both on the incline post-career. Under appreciated.
1/2 of the original “Splash Brothers”!!! My first time hearing him speak after all these years. Str8 out of the South-speaks well. Str8 out of High School-speaks well! Kinda sound like Kenyon Martin(also from Texas). Dope interview.
Forgot Rashard was picked in 2nd round much respect he put in work and got the bag !! Became a solid player good player !! Vets helped him tremendously
I respect this podcast for bringing some real killers on this podcast Mitch Richmond was my guy and was nice in nba live in lol.. Micheal Finley spin move was a cheat code in 2K and all the real 2K players know how rashard Lewis was giving it up in the game
Can yall please please get Allen Houston on the show. One of the coldest, underrated big guards. Smooth jumper and had a nice post up game. I'm a Pistons guy, and he was a monster coming out of Tennessee.
0:55 - thank you Rashard for acknowledging my countryman Pedja Stojaković. 🇷🇸🇷🇸💪 He was lethal and underrated. He would be even bigger in today's Nba. TOP 10 3POINT SHOOTER FOR SURE and i hope soon HALL OF FAMER.
I love Rashard Lewis and the players from the 98 class. I am the same age as them and hearing about their growing up as kids brings me back to my own childhood.
You know Boo Williams Gon look out for them 757 VA Boyz... Plus Ronald Curry won the MVP or the McDonald's game that year... Ronald Curry started at point guard at North Carolina and was the starting quarterback... The man is arguably the greatest high School athlete to ever live... National Gatorade high school player of the year in football and basketball in the same year 98
@@jeffwoods4222 No deal... He was such a phenomenon him and Michael Vick was in the same division (peninsula division) in high school and Michael Vick was an afterthought that's how good RC was...
@@edwinperryii1122 No... Curry lost three high school games in football and he started all four years his last 3 years the Hampton Crabbers were undefeated and three straight state championships... His senior year they beat the number two team in the state in the state championship 63 to 0 those Hampton teams were incredible... They won the state championship in basketball his senior year too....
Great show! Much love to Q and D...yall should have a Illinois show with cats of the likes of Ellis from East St...Maurice Cheeks...Kendall Gill...and many more...Wild 100s love Q
I will always root for Rashard. I was a college kid sonics ball boy when he came to Seattle. Quite , timid kid....glad he was successful, be earned it!
This was an incredible interview. Rashad Lewis has a great career and had some great people in his corner who helped him become a solid NBA player. It was nice to hear his story.
One of my favorite players especially when he came to my magic.. had his jersey. Used to get clowned when everyone was wearing kobe James ect. I wore Lewis.
Mr. Stretch four (yes, I know LO would have something to say and I would lean towards LO) was ahead of this time, real quiet demeanor and quiet confidence. Mr. Automatic in the corner for the threes. I think when he went to Orlando he dummy down his game because he was such a team player but in Seattle he would score in all 3 phases, post up, mid range and 3!! He would avg. 25-30 in today's game. And now hearing him talk in this interview you can tell he's even a better human being. This was a dope interview.... (Big Smooth Sam Perkins was the original OG of the stretch 4) but Detlef Schremof, Derrick Mckey, Robert Horry - they were doing but it wasnt popular in their time and before the wave started coming in league 97) My top Stretch 4's that were ahead of their time...in no particular order LO Tim Thomas L.Rewis Dirk N. Al Harrington......
It's great seeing someone you grew up with exposed into a legendary player in the league the real hard work and decided to his craft and become a Great 1 in history. Shout to both you brothers for this great interview Kings and Legend's in the world 🌎 of B-ball.
It so crazy see Rashard Lewis look younger then when he played this is crazy i put my phone down and it's on auto play so when i looked and started watching i thought why is Q interviewing a rook 🤣🤣🤣 no lie once i seen the title my mind wouldn't let me believe it...😂😂 fr. Look if you ah true NBA fan that been watching hoops then you know who RL is and got nothing but respect for Bruh!!!
being a younger nba fan you never really understand how good nba players are from the past. and being from washington asking for our sonics back my whole life, i wished i got to see bro live!
