About this episode


 

This week we got one of the OG long-distance sharpshooters, as Peja Stojakovic joins Q and D on Knuckleheads. The Kings legend discusses his journey from Yugoslavia to the States, how he got into basketball, and his quick rise to getting drafted by Sacramento. Peja looks back on those legendary Kings teams, the ’02 playoff series against the Lakers, and what it was like playing with Vlade Divac and Chris Webber, among others. He also touches on how proud he is of the state of international basketball and his thoughts on Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic. Peja was one of the coldest from 3 ever. Tune in!
