great interview, even better that he had several stories about you Rod

lots of interesting experiences... dialogue between Ben an Monty about Randle... his thoughts and experiences with MM both past and present... beating UCLA 9 years, and that the Josh Shipp horse shot was indeed illegal (first time I heard refs admitted that)... thoughts on the current team and players

Thanks!

One of Braun's best players. And one of my top 3.

Lots of Rod in those highlights including some deft passing

They made a top front court

Rod, what was it like playing with Powe?
