Going ISO - Reggie Theus

Rejecting The Screen - Talking NBA Basketball

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with 2-time NBA All-Star Reggie Theus. One of the best players in the 1980's and the former head coach of the Sacramento Kings, Theus is remarkably candid and revealing as he discusses many of the rumors, setbacks, and triumphs of his illustrious career. He talks about the racial issues he faced as part of the first integrated class at Inglewood High School. He talks about his high school battles with Bill Laimbeer and their enduring friendship, which included being teammates in the 1983 NBA All-Star Game. He also goes into depth about playing for Jerry Tarkanian at UNLV and advancing to the school's first ever Final Four in 1977. The former lottery pick also opens up about his famous feud with Bulls coach Kevin Loughery and why their dispute nearly derailed his career. He addresses longstanding rumors about his relationship with Michael Jordan and even with Jordan's ex-wife. They go over some of the disparaging remarks some of his former Altanta Hawks teammates had. Theus talks about what it was like to act in NBC's well-known sitcom "Hang Time" and even mentions the acting roles he didn't end up getting. He also shares incredible stories about George Gervin and Bill Russell.
