TA sits down to discuss his journey: dropping out of high school, figuring it out in Chicago and finding his way to Oklahoma State. Tony looks back on getting drafted by the Celtics, winning a championship with the Big 3 in 2008, and moving on to Memphis. He talks about those legendary Grizzlies teams and what it was like to become one of the best defenders in the league. TA a real one. Tune in!
