I don't know what I enjoy more - watching Skip play or listening to him speak. Phenomenal interview.

[@moneyyy4132]

Rosalyn eyes 👀 look crazy 😂😂😂

[@alexlake5352]

I can't look at her 😂

[@187mrsmith]

Real recognize real and the NBA recognized his talent that's why he was one of the only and 1 players to transition and actually be a All Star caliber player and make a impact on a championship contending team

[@artur583]

I can still hear the slap across eddie houses head 🙌

[@rudyjobe498]

Another brilliant episode. This interview is meant for the true lovers of the game.

[@juliusdeloach]

[@ObiAmajoyiSrMD]

This was a GREAT LISTEN. Brilliant. Skip is definitely a true ambassador. All three did wonderfully. Thank you for this.

[@joos1joos926]

Chicago and NYC best Points yo

[@seoultrain0]

Skip was the Raptors best player when you know who quit on the team. Shout out Skip!

[@_1tym]

I remembered the time Rafer was having it done in the finals with Orlando but Magic just loved Nelson that much and limited Rafer’s minutes.. dumb move by Magic TBH.

[@Danny-dp9cy]

I always say this when he is brought up

[@reallife0728]

💯💯💯ABSOLUTELY TRUTH!!!!!

[@SuperHiFiGaming]

Same thing happened when Vince was there, they succeeded greatly when they ran the offense through vince, but insisted on running it through Jameer more often than not. Even stopped Vince from breaking his career high in 2010

[@jameswatson6]

Vince had a legendary game at the Rucker. Ooh wee

[@anorakallknowing7719]

As he should! Skip 2 My Lou is a legend, go get educated!

[@williamsmith6861]

I can't even think of a player who gives credit to the parks anymore..I grew up wanting to be skip.. great interview

[@gangstaslim852]

Dope interview skip!

[@curiouslymavismade]

VC the legend and RGO the cutie pie!!!!!! I was an AND 1 fanatic back in the day, so I love me some Skip.

[@reallife0728]

[@MrJshotime]

[@RightHandKam]

[@murph3001]

Ros dominates the conversations. Just give her her own show and let Vince do his own thing

[@Darcsyde116]

South Side We Outside

[@keithfunderburk6886]

My boy Raf When u goin to Legends again Brodie

[@rudyjobe498]

Stan should have played him some more against LAL... though to be fair, losing to Kobe was inevitable, but perhaps the Magic would have won at least another game!

[@johancorrales6537]

If Stan van gundy would have kept Alston in the starting lineup with the magic and not bring jameer nelson in who was coming off an injury they would have won. Alston and Dwight pick and roll was unstoppable

[@darnelldover1354]

What about Mike boogie and his brother Tip dog. Street ball handlers too.

[@ai_and_gaming]

Woud be amazing if he calls "air up there"

[@wywigi]

I hated when they let go of skip... people always talk about Kyrie being the best ball handler ever... go back and watch the and-1 mix tapes... not taking anything away from Kyrie but I'm just saying it's not automatic lol back trust me

[@PatronHall]

The wall is undefeated. So cruel.

[@freddygutierrez6764]

His baby mama like me . She bad tho.

[@thomascook2982]

Why is this chick so loud? She ruins the interview.

[@thomascook2982]

Kenny Smith???? Kenny is known more for TNT than his handles. Rafer was 10X’s better then Kenny.

[@benhenderson8952]

“The Feces Show” 😭 💩
