The legend, Agent Zero, joins Forgotten Seasons to relive his breakout 2004/05 season in DC. The high powered trio of Arenas, Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison each averaged over 19 PPG and led the Wizards to their first playoff series victory in over 20 years. This was the only season from 1982 to 2013 that Washington advanced past the first round. Gil gives us 90 minutes of untold stories, insights into his teammates and peers, X's and O's and much more.

After losing in 7 games to the Pistons in the 2005 East Finals, Heat President Pat Riley knew he had to make moves fast. With an aging Shaq and a ready-to-win-now Dwyane Wade, Riley knew Miami's window was shrinking.




That summer, Riley completely re-hauled the roster, bringing in veterans Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, James Posey and Gary Payton. But when the team - led by Head Coach Stan Van Gundy - stumbled out of the gate, Riley took matters into his own hands, firing Van Gundy and re-taking the head coaching reigns. The rest was history.




Antoine Walker joins the show to talk about his introduction to Heat Culture and their road to a championship.
