Then, Alex opens up his interview with sharing his thoughts on JJ Redick coaching the Lakers. Then, he shares his recruitment experience in college, how he wasn’t initially playing in college to make it to the NBA, and his run-ins with Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M. Alex then discusses all things Thunder, including how young the team is and how scary it is that they will only get better, his impressions of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, hilarious stories about being the oldest on the team, and much more. He then closes out the episode by sharing the important career lessons he learned winning the championship with the Lakers in the bubble. Let’s go.
