[@DeTAYL.]

Stoudamire, Iverson, Marbury and Francis were like the four horseman of PGs when I was coming up! 🫡

[@mrrcool77]

QRICH needs to stop interrupting Damon - let the man talk!

[@bprice2784]

For those young bucks out there, Damon Stoudemire was a Point God.

[@manrae]

This is the ONLY sports podcast that allows these guys to speak uninterrupted, THANK YOU Knuckleheads!!

[@derekflint3802]

Speaking on small guards, would love to see Earl Boykins on y'all show fellas

[@662Cno]

We need a Monta episode

[@deejay3437]

I don’t think he knows how old millennials are

[@aaronhutchinson885]

He is speaking facts. I was at the draft in 95..sitting in the newsbleeds booing him. We wanted Ed O'bannon! Man, a few months later Damon was leading the raps to a upset win over the 72-10 Bulls..that look down on ron harper was Coldz ROY. Those might mouse Billboards!!!! Much respect. Life long Raptors fan. Those 1st 4 picks. We hit on them all, we just didn't get to see them all play together. Damon, Camby, Tmac and Vince 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@arthurbarnes6368]

GP, Baron Davis and now Mighty Mouse gave John Stockton his flowers.

[@blackbeanburger3357]

even though it didn't end well in toronto.. raptors fans always have love for damon

[@jarrellmason9080]

Mighty Mouse was tough. Very underrated. Glad Terrell Brandon got mentioned this episode. Hopefully they can land him on the podcast.

[@montrezhadley251]

I met Stoudemire at a exhibition game in St.Louis against the Houston Rockets... He was so down to earth and cool as hell and he gave me his autograph I still have it and this was over 20 yrs ago it was a memory I'll never forget 🏀🏀🏀

[@RICHperrySmitty]

Q rich always ask the same question 20 times before he let the guest answer 😂😂 I love it tho

[@AMart870]

Damon Stoudamire aka Mighty Mouse, man if he was 6'3 instead of 5'9 he would've killed the NBA, fast, quick and strong, underappreciated Point Guard!

[@kcjones713]

As a lefty that grew up in the 90’s him Nicky V an Kenny Anderson was my favorite players

[@scottanderson3913]

People sleep on Mighty Mouse! Dude was COLD AF back in the day. Didn't get all the shine like some other PGs, but everyone that knew basketball and followed the NBA respected his game and knew he was a problem when he played their team!

[@DrOCkABlEs]

Love the platform!

[@kincamell2]

Gratitude.

[@flyerlansky1538]
