Stan is wild! Bill Russell is 3rd string center in today's NBA?
50:57 – thry might have a tablet with thousands of plays or ideas
Been wanting a Stan Van interview for a long time. Hearing a lot players speak on him and how amazing his mind is but how wild he could be.
1:12:32 – that's like the fresh Prince episode, where Uncle Phil wins the last game of pool.
0:45 0:55 double bust my ass
The Coach was on his game. Mr Miles asked some tough questions and help bring out great answers by an NBA Coach. This was an Excellent Show. We need more Coaches in these shows. Good job!
awesome awesome awesome episode. Love the shout-outs to Brandon Jennings, Rafer Alston, Dwight Howards.
I didn’t expect this great stuff fellas
Stan is the man
Gotta get Eddie Jones and Brandon Roy on here
I'm only 10min in but great great interview so far… Stan my man you doing good man. Yo and your brother always remind me of Click N Clack brothers outta Boston I believe.
I love it when anyone on this podcast just says “Listen” wether the hosts or guest!! Always gold
oh shiiit this gone be a good one
More coach interviews please! Stan might be the most polarizing coach ever, but the man knows his basketball! DMiles really shined in this episode as well.
Did not know that SVG could be this entertaining. Keep on inviting those coaches guys!
I Love Jeff And Stan🎉🎉
I think it’s bs that they didn’t ask any questions about his tenure in Detroit as GM and coach. He literally was handed the keys to the organization and fucked it up. Would’ve been nice to understand his thought process and decision making. Detroit Piston supporters still want answers. However, the rest of the conversation/interview was great insight.
Dwight’s impersonation of Stan always cracks me up
Lets get Jameer on.
Yo they gotta change that question to who got most points on you when you got to the league?
I could have easily watched at least another hour of this great interview
Big fella you did some research…good questions
I know SVG has his wild moments and is eccentric as they come but the real ones know how brilliant of a basketball mind he is.
Would love to see him on Old Man and the Three and break down the game with JJ Redick!
Jrue holiday at the one!!!
Great interview, Stan Van Gundy was a great coach, but more than that he seems like he's a just GREAT guy!!!
Stan was spittin but that saying career wise you can’t compare mj to lebron is ridiculous to me imo😂I get why he said that cuz bron is the all time leading scorer, top 5 in assists. One player won 6 chips, the other 4, 10x nba first team, the other 13x, 9x all defensive first team, 5x all defensive first team, 6x mvp, 5x mvp, 6x finals mvp, 4x finals mvp, 10x scoring champ, 1x scoring champ. Very comparable to me.
Stan clearly has zero regrets about not playing Rafer Alston more in the Finals 😂
1:19:34 huh?
They should give the all star mvp a 20-30 million bonus
