Jamal Mashburn (Plus a Josh Hart Draft) Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

This week we are so excited to welcome NBA All-Star Jamal Mashburn (Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Charlotte Hornets) to The Old Man and the Three! Mash was truly an amazing guest. He got into what he sees when watching today’s NBA and how he compares it to where the league was in the 1990s and 2000s. He also shared great stories about playing for Rick Pitino at the University of Kentucky, why he thinks Pitino is the best teacher of the game, and how he thinks Pitino was ahead of his time. Then, Mash discusses his own skillset, one that many would also consider to be ahead of its time in the 90s. JJ and Mash also have an in-depth discussion about basketball skill development in the present day and how it does or doesn’t translate to the NBA. Mash also shares what Michael Jordan once told him in a one-on-one game, and what he remembers about playing in possibly the greatest NCAA basketball game ever played (The Christian Laettner shot). New York Knicks guard Josh Hart then joins for a draft of Things That Should Be Illegal.
