Billy Donovan Opens Up About KD & Russ, Wild College Stories & More… | The OGs Episode 3

[@BlitzWare518]

Now that Dragic retired, I would love to see him on the podcast too!

[@smithsfan425]

He retired?? We could still use him on the Heat now.

[@Withoutwin]

Yup yup

[@Granskii]

Dragic ftw

[@larrypirela1836]

This is a MUST!!!!!!

[@Przivel]

Stoooopppp itttt!! That’ll be 🔥! I believe the OGs can pull it through for us! The dragon deserves his respect and a platform.

[@kdwitherspoon-allen3249]

Crazy how Coach Billy D turned UF into a power house basketball school. Definitely the foundation was laid by those 2 major pieces to that program.

[@MiniWheatsnb]

I already appreciate the level of detail in the podcast. The fact that you all have a team breaking down the clips and timestamping is big for me. Can't wait to dig into these episodes.

[@EsmoothLA]

Time stamping is a major game changer🔥

[@RomnysGonzalez]

Billy Donovan is hilarious. Is my 1st time seeing his personality out in the open. He's great! I kinda love him now. Love his ideas and opinions about the in and out of the basketball and college basketball. He was such a great guess

[@davidpeters3857]

Totally agree

[@AMart870]

Two authentic, real Guys U.D. and Mike Miller "The OG's" is already becoming one of my favorite pods, these 2 have that Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles (Knuckleheads) chemistry with the interviews, just a cool laid back vibe! 💯

[@kaspauf06]

This was awesome! Billy Donovan is a legend along with these guys who built the foundation of the team who made it to '99-'00 NCAA Championship, something most people did not think could happen after Lon Kruger got us there in '94. Great podcast Mike and Udonis, hope to see more former Gators on here, great to see the different generation of Gators on here!

[@maxgator]

As a longtime Gator basketball fan, this is gold. Just amazing. Thanks so much!

[@travishowell5682]

Love Billy’s laugh he loves his former players and the game. Love it

[@esimms5101]

Wow I didn’t see this coming… should be amazing!

[@kdwitherspoon-allen3249]

I remember playing in the Dodge Shootout in Gainesville over the summer in high school. OG was supposed to be the new T-Mac. I was scared to ask UD for an autograph. Lol. Great time playing against Kwame Brown, Nick Calathes, Chandler Parson. Great time meeting UD, Brent Wright, Teddy D, Ladarius Halton, good times thanks Coach Billy D.

[@johnech13]

Great interview. Love Billy Donovan. I hope the Bulls have patience with him. Bulls are playing better with Lavine out.

[@SLIMM1209]

So many gems. That segment in particular about the perspective about sacrificing but more so the power of believing in that sacrifice. I needed that.

[@ER_Ripps91]

This is now one of my favorite basketball shows to listen to ( and watch) No BS. you guys don’t try to make controversial statements or talk about things like you’re always right. Just good conversation with great guests spitting knowledge

[@bandithkeith1012]

Bangers as usual 🤌🏼

[@vittiriowashington5211]

[@Idkbruh5]

So many gems from these 3 OGs

[@gamefreakjason]

“If the season started today, I couldn’t play either one of you MFs” 😂😂😂 UD too funny

[@CamSmith-o3x]

This show keeps getting better. I remember watching UF go back to back with Joakim!

[@CarlDykes]

[@sleepmanifestation2530]

Its crazy the history that the OGs have with people. When I see this coach, I remember the big 3 heat and little 12 days when we beat that young athletic okc team 4-1

[@RichardMoran01]

UD’s stone cold shirt 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂

[@kdwitherspoon-allen3249]

[@joeyp3094]

[@haHAAAAAAA3]

[@Cruzalex839]

Loved this pod! Keep them coming! Hopefully Dragic can come on now that he’s retired!

[@justonceinawhile]

Love this - thanks so much Go Gators

[@fguanilo27]

GREAT EPISODE!!! Have Precious Achiuwa that knows both of you, Dragic, Caron, man the list is limitless!

[@calebking1212]

Mike/UD, doubt y’all see this, but one of my favorite memories as a kid was this one time @ UF basketball camp where UD was coaching a team of 10yr olds. All the UF players coached and/or refereed the games all the campgoer’s, and UD’s team lost vs my team (can’t even remember my coach lol) in the finals due to a bad call from one of the other players. UD’s reaction would make Bobby Knight blush. It was admittedly a little scary at the time but I believe UD had to be physically restrained from fighting one his teammates who was refereeing a camp ball game. From there on it was no surprise that UD won wherever he went. Nobody can teach you that type of competitiveness. As an old 34 yo with 3 kids now thank you guys & coach, of course, for the memories as a kid. Congrats on all of y’all’s successes in life, #1 of course is being good fathers. Looking forward to more of this!

[@GatorheadLuis]

Awesome podcast... go gators! - Loved hearing the stories before you guys made it to the NBA. UF Basketball hasn't been the same since Billy D left...

[@dezonealcomedy]

I love how Haslem gives Mike his flowers

[@mitchellnovoson3805]

This gonna be dope!

[@bball8652]

Great podcast 💪🏿💯💯

[@ShakedYacoby]

[@williammarshall832]

LEGENDS!!! Will send to all my fellow Gators to like and sub to you guys! Keep this badass pod goin' and GO GATORS!

[@7simgod213]

Coming for that 1 spot💯 great pod

[@ShootItALBY]

UD mentioning graduates still working at normal jobs than the career job they studied for back in his day that’s still happening today. It’s just hard out there after graduating

[@AnthonyJenks-jp7rt]

Get Kenyon Martin on the show that’d be some OG shit.loving it so far

[@dedrickcarr3779]

I definitely agree

[@dewdew34]

W Kentucky Chris Marcus 7'1" is the player i believe they mentioned , who had an interesting life, never played till high school. Sadly passed in 2020.

[@ryleerichter804]

This show will win 2024 sports podcast of the year putting it out there for y’all hope y’all get it 🫡🔥💯

[@doworkdarkman705]

@UD from your brother from Duval I am making sure all the fellas watch you and Mike’s podcast. This is like sitting around chopping it up with you and MM. Keep up the good work. Wishlist of guest: Antoine Walker, Ray Allen (only former C’s @UD would chop it up with), Rasheed Wallace, Elton Brand, K Martin, GP, White Chocolate anybody

[@jamaalglenn8749]

Absolutely, you don't want to listen to players n the they don't listen to you n already lost in your locker room give n take in every situation. I think that's why a lot of the older coaches aren't around anymore. That my way mentality.

[@Antbeast23]

Mike miller would be a good assistant coach

[@RelaxingMusicHAF]

Went in liking Billy D, left lovin' Billy D.

[@813Productions]

Gator Greats! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

[@davidpeters3857]

Brilliant

[@mikej2826]

I got those same Versace glasses

[@SergioCanepa07]

damn who produced the intro music 🔥🔥🔥

[@xLaoStyle]

I agree try getting the dragon on there. He said he wanted to live in Miami at the end of his career too supposedly

[@frankiejr95]

I’m a Miami fan that includes the U Go Canes

[@vittiriowashington5211]

41:21 😂

[@adrian1080]

[@chetjablonski1993]

Billy-can you talk about the walk-ons?? Patrick O’Connor? Dave Kliewer? Adriel Davis?

[@Chad13]

3 Gator legends🐊

[@FatlaughsEnt]

Ik this a basketball pod, but Duke Johnson would be a lit guest

[@davidtamou4680]

What was melo like in OKC? And was it difficult to balance out the offensive with Russ and pg?.

[@djmix105]

Udonis Haslem’s statement about people who have a degree is wild and very poor. I see why dude can’t even talk without cursing left and right. I glad the coach as a smart man educated him. Dude you are lucky because you were gifted with body that allowed you to play a sport that goes and match perfectly with the size that you have. So, instead talking down on people that were not built with the size that you have, the height that you have, the potential that you have a sport, say thanks to God bro.

[@Musso8771]

Exactly. And of course people think its so cool. Its pathetic. He'd probably be in jail otherwise.

[@Dr.MantisToboggan1]

#ChicagoBulls #BillyDonavan #JasonWillams. The Bulls got an open coaching position. You know Billy's system come on with it. We got some young dogs.

[@jonassims8558]

It was Chris Marcus....big man outta Western Kentucky....

[@flintfleming3935]

I pretty sure Rick Patino was his coach at Providence..

[@COR_LUND]

Would love see Mike Beasley on this junt too

[@theunintentionalintellect]

They gotta get Frank Martin on this podcast.

[@ianbatista631]

[@COR_LUND]

[@DarrylGerardFontanilla]

Jason Kidd has been in the NBA in 1994. How come Coach B be recruiting both of them at the same team in college?

[@thevoicelessone5074]

🐊🐊😤

[@LJE3]

Get Dooling on here fellas.

[@beatsbykana]

it's pretty crazy to see what the NCAA has wrought for itself. trying for so long to keep players from being paid might ultimately be their downfall. But we'll see

[@Joe-oj4rh]
