Going ISO - Lindsey Hunter

Rejecting The Screen - Talking NBA Basketball

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with 2-time NBA champion Lindsey Hunter. The current head coach at Mississippi Valley State talks about finding stardom at Jackson State, highlighted by a 48-point game against Kansas in 1992, and the wild pre-draft process that ensued. He shares remarkable stories about playing pickup with Michael Jordan at MJ's camp, the crazy fights he witnessed when he first joined the Bad Boy Pistons, watching Shaq in a layup line wearing nothing but a jockstrap, and a Kobe workout that doesn't even seem real. He reveals how he won a title with the Lakers in 2002 while grieving the death of his younger brother. He also explains why his Pistons believed they would sweep the Lakers in the 2004 NBA Finals. The 17-year NBA vet talks about the Malice at the Palace, Isiah Thomas as a basketball genius, Allen Iverson's greatness, why a rookie Derrick Rose left him speechless, and how he really feels about the infamous 2001 Eastern Conference Finals between the Bucks and Sixers. And he shares one of his secrets to being an all-time great defender.
