This week we are thrilled to welcome two fantastic guests to The Old Man and the Three: Coach of the Year runner-up and Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley and Minnesota Timberwolves’ Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid. JJ and Tommy open the episode discussing the Wolves defense in their second round series against the Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and the Denver Nuggets. Then, Jamahl joins for an extremely insightful conversation about NBA coaching and shares what he learned about coaching stars from his time with Carmelo Anthony and Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks) and how stars see the game. He also talks about what stands out about Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and Jonathan Isaac. He then takes us through what if takes every day to build great culture in an organization, what goes into game preparation, how to construct a standout NBA defense, and much more. Then, Naz joins to share what his NBA journey has been like, what it’s like being teammates with Anthony Edwards, and how Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have taught the Wolves to love playing defense. He also shares his approach to coming off the bench and his mindset that led to his Sixth Man of the Year season. Naz, JJ, and Tommy finish off the episode by drafting beach accessories.
