In this episode, Doug talks with 12-year NBA veteran Amir Johnson about being one of the last players to go straight from high school to the pros, if he'd do it again, why he didn't mind going to the D-League early on in his career, why he respects Brad Stevens, his philosophy for guarding LeBron, KD, and Giannis, Joel Embiid's potential, why Ben Simmons is so reluctant to shoot, and his perspective of Kawhi's insta-classic Game 7 buzzer beater in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Sixers. He also discusses playing in The 5 Tournament with all ex-NBA'ers, and how he processed the death of Kobe Bryant. Make sure you download, rate and subscribe here to get the latest All Ball Podcasts!
