NBA coaching legend George Karl came by the show! George talked about playing under Dean Smith and the impact Coach Smith had on his career. He briefly touched upon his pro playing career and explained why he retired at 26. Karl also shared some of his favorite moments while coaching Real Madrid, like going through training camp with Dražen Petrović and driving his Porsche during his first year in Spain.  

Coach Karl provided insight into how the game has changed and talked about the extinction of old-school big-men. He discussed the SuperSonics and his approach when preparing for the '96 Finals against the Bulls. Karl continued with the Nuggets, gave insight into coaching Melo and going up against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers in '09. He touched upon the evolution of the Denver roster, his favorite Nuggets team, his relationship with Demarcus Cousins, and, last but not least, if he plans to continue coaching again.   

Earlier this year, George started Truth + Basketball, a podcast and audio exploration with George Karl, the 6th winningest coach in NBA basketball history. Make sure to check it out here: https://truthplusmedia.com, https://truthandbasketball.com, or https://sonicsforever.com.
