Brian Scalabrine visits with Adrian Wojnarowski in the New York studio for the The Vertical Podcast with Woj. With a lot of laughs, Scalabrine discusses the details around Golden State coach Mark Jackson dismissing him as an assistant coach, thinking he was going to die on a D-League roadtrip, the great Alonzo Mourning-Kenyon Martin practice fracas in a Nets practice and how Nets executive Rod Thorn responded to Scal's $15M free agent offer from the Boston Celtics. In the Vertical Insider Segment, Vertical contributor Nick DePaula - the preeminent sneaker reporter in the industry - joins Woj in studio to discuss the impact of the shoe industry on the NBA transactions. DePaula discusses the signature shoe deals of Kobe Bryant, James Harden and several league stars.
