The part about the Malice in the Palice really needs to be in it's own clip. One of the best NBA podcast episodes ever.

Its incredible that Ron plays as such a high level being so anxious!! Maybe the place that make him relax its the court. Nothing but respect for having a carrer with such a mental issue!!

[@KarloBacolod]

Damn long overdue. Metta is the reason why I played defense in basketball. S/O to Queens Bridge.

[@migo-migo9503]

Man, some real good stories here. Ron was def misunderstood when all this was happening years ago. He def an enlightened guy, even with all the stuff he's going through.

[@AntonioUrbano]

I was at that press conference when Ron went pro. One of his more famous quotes was “I’m not leaving St. John’s, I’m just getting a job”.
