Uncle Keegan
Sactown loves the Murray fam
Another parent keeping it way too real about their kid! "Keeeegan Muuuuuuray"!
Wow. What a fantastic interview. Thank you for having him on and thank Kenyon for taking the time and for being such candid guest. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say this was one of the best interviews I've watched/listened to on any platform. You 2 have such a great ability to turn an interview into a conversation and that so enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work! #SacramentoProud.
God bless the Kings Organization
Murray Family super cool . 👍
I'm really impressed with Kenyon's ability to identify which adjustments need to be made. Being able to do that and grow as a person is huge. Mistakes are gonna happen… we are human but we can learn from them and grow. As a young parent I can relate to that big time. Keegan obviously deserves all the credit for where he's at but you can see how having insights from a well meaning and thoughtful parent makes a big difference.
What a fantastic interview! Kenyon is one of my all-time favorite Hawkeye basketball players. The way he and Michelle have raised their family and especially Keegan and Kris to be ready to compete at the highest level is really admirable. I am so impatient for next season to get started!
Love this pod
Can’t get enough of the Murray’s. Can u get Kenyon as a weekly guest when the season starts? If he ever comes back on, please ask him for a C-Webb story. He’s from Detroit & played against Chris in High School. I also think that dog wanted to get on camera at the end of the podcast😹. Great show keep up the good work
Great interview. I wonder what's his thought on Keegan playing small forward
Odds are that Kris will go to another team & Keegan will play against him at least twice a year.
🙌
Deuce is Mr. Murray your dad now or is it still Mr. Halliburton?
😂😂😂 BASKABALL
Amazing interview, Kenyon seems like such a great father. Learning and adaptability is key to success.
Just wow. What a great interview. Kenyon is solid! And the apple don't fall far from the tree.
