What Draymond Green brings every night – that intensity and desire – to bring that every night is nothing short of remarkable. And looking at his resume, at this point in his career with more left in the tank, is also flat out remarkable. Still as a 4-time champion, 2-time gold medalist, Defensive Player of the Year, 4 time All-Star and so on, we still need to appreciate the IQ, the leadership and the fire that is Draymond.

As Penny points out, Draymond is one of one, and now a blueprint for players to pattern their games after. For a guy that is willing to do the dirty work, that is willing to sacrifice and do what it takes to win, what coach wouldn’t want a guy like that on his team. For Draymond, there’s been a lot of growth and evolution not only in his game but as a person, and as he tells us at this point in his career he has a renewed desire.

This one’s for the glue guys. When it comes to NBA careers, James Posey won 2 championships in 12 seasons and was an integral part of team cultures in Miami, Boston and Cleveland respectively (as well as Denver, Memphis, Houston, New Orleans and Indiana). Simply put, he understood how to adapt, had the character and maturity to star in his role.

As Penny knows it is all about the perception and perspective for players. When it comes to Pose’s unique attributes you have to track his journey. A solid player he had to grind in college and thanks to a great work ethic made it to the league. Then with the support of good vets, learned not only what it would take to make it but to stay. Beyond that he figured out what it takes to win. Add that all up and you have an outstanding NBA resume and one hell of a career.

As most of us know, playing the point guard position is an art form. As the game has evolved so has the role. Of the PG’s of his era, Nick Van Exel was as tough as they come. High IQ, could run his offense, pick his spots and was a flat out tough cover. Both coming out of the 1993 draft class, he and Penny brought the positon forward in their time.

Sitting down not only to look back but to look forward on how both the position and the game are trending, they share a common point of view. For Penny and Nick they see so much promise in today’s players. As we find out, they tip their hats to the amount of talent, unique abilities and skill that is played by the point guards of this generation. But of course they could also get buckets in today’s game (or any era for that matter).

When it comes to work ethic, few players were driven quite like Corey Maggette. Corey built his game around his athleticism and to ensure longevity he went all in on his fitness. In applying it on the basketball court his workouts were at one speed and one speed only…game speed.

As he tells Penny, that desire to push himself and to dedicate himself to the game started with the influences in his family. His drive enabled Corey to become a standout at Duke and a cornerstone player in the league for 14 NBA seasons. Now he still prides himself on his fitness and keeping basketball a cornerstone in his life.

Every now and then a certain kind of player comes along that is the perfect blend of athleticism, ability and IQ. Someone who handles their business both on and off the court. Someone who is a winner, a professional and an overachiever. For the length of his career, Andre Iguodala was all of the above. A four-time champion and Finals MVP, along with All-Star and now president of the Players Association, Andre has continuously re-invented himself on his basketball journey.

As we find out, Andre’s endless need to learn, understand the league and the game within the game, enabled him to find a solid place in the NBA. As Penny finds out, once the light bulb went off for Iggy, he was able to play the game at the highest level. From there playing with all-time great teammates and establishing a championship standard fell into place.

You know him now for All the Smoke and his activism, but don’t forget Stephen Jackson was a high IQ, championship winning player. Looking back on his career, Stak Jack can be best identified as an all-time great teammate, a knock down shooter, a playmaker and an unselfish player. What you might not know was Stephen’s journey took him from Oak Hill Academy to Australia, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic before he settled in for 14 NBA seasons.

Always an admirer of not only his play but his evolution as a player, Penny gets to the heart of what made Stephen a pro’s pro. And it was exactly that…his heart. Once he matured, Stak blossomed in the league. Of course having a Coach Poppovich to mentor you always helps. But Stephen took the opportunity and ran with it. Now looking back at it, it was a hell of an accomplishment and a hell of a ride.

After 17 seasons, Rudy Gay has called it a career. Looking back, we can say Rudy was the prototype for today’s wing player. His length, ability to shoot, get to the rim, defend and create was ahead of his time for his era. Coming out of Baltimore, Rudy arrived at UConn where he sharpened his game before going pro. In his 17 NBA seasons, Rudy was a walking highlight who was a star in Memphis and went on to standout years in Toronto, Sacramento, San Antonio before closing things out in Utah.

In retirement, Rudy and Penny discuss the details of being a pro. As he can appreciate it now, Rudy speaks to his dedication, what the game did for his life and what he wished he knew then what he knows now. Overall, it was a hell of a run for Rudy Gay and he was truly fun to watch.

Some know him as the Grindfather, some know him as Tony Allen, but what most people don’t know is TA’s journey to becoming one of the best lock down defenders the game has ever seen. As Penny finds out Tony came up the hard way in Chicago, which explains the tenacity and grit he played with.

With those intangibles in place Tony’s identity was cemented thanks to his time in Boston with Celtics Big Three and a championship to show for it. Then when he went to Memphis the rest would be history for Tony. There would be no Grit and Grind without Tony Allen and we are all better off for witnessing those epic offense vs defense battles with Kobe, LeBron, DWade and others.

When it comes to Memphis basketball, the Grit and Grind era to be specific, Zach Randolph is one of the pillars of the movement. It was Z-Bo’s blend of IQ, fundamentals, aggression and toughness that tied him to the Grizzlies franchise. What we know of him as a player started in Marion, Indiana, was molded at Michigan State and blossomed in his 17 NBA seasons.

As we find out in his time with Z-Bo, Penny gets down to the mentality and purpose with which he played. From the adjustments he made to make it as a player, to his commitment to himself and his team, Z-Bo explains who credits and how he built is legacy as a pro. And beyond his playing career, how Z-Bo the girldad is now watching his twin on the court, his daughter Mackenly get started at Louisville.

As we watch the game we get used to a style of play and a style of player, and then that generational player comes along and changes everything. Tracy McGrady was exactly that. A combination of athleticism, skill, creativity and competitiveness, there was no one like TMac on the basketball court. 

A generational player himself, Penny and TMac reflect each other right down to the number on the jersey. As TMac tells Penny, he was the player we watched and studied coming up. On Penny’s end, it’s all love and respect for TMac’s game. The two share thoughts on having the mentality to take over games, which as we find out, comes from unseen work and dedication.

Now they’re both at a point of perspective, with eyes on the next generational players they see themselves in. And as we find out, watching for the guys that live and breathe it, while looking to push the game forward.
