    This really is the first time I've heard a full breakdown of this story 😂
  • @JoeyHuman
    Dickey Simpkins signed with the Bulls, shot 63% off the bench, got playoff mins for the first time and won his third ring after Warriors released him. Love that ending for him.
  • @DJ--ALLDAY
    Man, '94 Warriors Sprewell, C Webb, Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullen, was The Truth
  • @raiderbigal1712
    Thanks for clearing up the Latrell Sprewell story for a old guy and life long warriors fan, those were hard days for us for many reasons but something I missed hearing after that was “Spree from 3”! Thanks my dudes!
  • @x5p_
    "you got traded too?" "nah they CUT me" lmaooo

    Story mode is the best thing to happen in the world of player podcasts. Hearing these stories is entertainment on end. Please keep featuring the OG’s!
  • @juice07x
    Damn Brian Shaw is like the Forrest Gump of the NBA. He was around every great player and wild moments.
  • @Welldunn
    It’s like the Bill Burr standup when he said “I wonder what she did”. There’s always context that leads to an event and the choke didn’t just manifest itself out of nowhere. What PJ did would be constituted as creating a hostile workplace environment and lead to termination in any other workplace.
  • @xohxoh6531
    We need a 30 for 30 on this story. And the aftermath for each player that stood up. This would not fly in today’s era.
  • @crulio
    25 years and we finally get some insight into what went down, salute to B-Shaw and those other guys for being real ones and standing with Spree!
  • @oMaJoJ
    9 year old me had some pretty good intuition. My first thought was 'I wonder what his coach did to deserve that. That doesn't seem like something a person would just do.'

    Which is why as a die hard born n raised in Oaktown Warriors fan, to this day, PROUDLY sport my SPREWELL jersey. I wore it to the victory parade in Oakland in ‘15 and ‘17 and while screaming for the team during the parade in the front row of the barricades, Adonal Foyle literally stopped his parade car, walked over to me and said “I love your jersey man”. Always a SPREE fan!!!
  • @cappriment
    I worked for ESPN back in the day, 1 night after a game, I bumped into B Shaw at a bar. We had this near exact conversation that night.
  • @kvaka009
    Robert Horry is solid for backing him up.
  • @mikedecembre743
    A disrespectful coach ruined a player’s career then played victim
  • @OrionOodama
    Great storytelling from Brian Shaw. This definitely prompts to check other segments. Thanks for this feature (not to mention algorithm).
  • @Emation7
    I was a huge Knicks fan as a kid and loved when Sprewell came to the Knicks. I did not like that certain sportscasters and reporters would never let the incident go. While Carlisimo went on to play victim and became a tv analyst.
  • @KarlPostMalone
    PJ did a complete 180 coaching style after that ordeal. Remember there were free agents that didn’t want to play for GS while he was head coach and some even veto trades.

    Man you gotta love today's platforms where you can hear classic stories like this
