Mark McGonigalGUEST
So I, I would say it was like a combination of like just getting dropped off at the park, playing with the older guys, competing, trying to stay on the court, learning how to make winning plays younger.
Mark McGonigalGUEST
Um, and then just fell in love with like those Sacramento Kings again, when they had Bibby, Snojc, uh, Vlade Divac, Chris Webber.
Mark McGonigalGUEST
Um, so those are my earliest memories o- of basketball.
Mike KlinzingHOST
Man, there's so many things, Mark, to unpack [laughs] in what you just said.
Henry TurnerGUEST
Mike Bibby was a scoring point guard, but we also had Doug Christie as a facilitator.
Henry TurnerGUEST
We also had Vlade Divac as a facilitator.
Henry TurnerGUEST
You know, Chris Webber passed the ball particularly well, and Peja was a ro- a rover.
Henry TurnerGUEST
So when you have a scoring point guard, you're gonna have to be, be able to have other pieces in tact to where they're equally as good at distributing.
Austin KarpHOST
Yep
Gotham ChopraGUEST
... which is about Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac, who were teammates on the Yugoslavia national team.
Gotham ChopraGUEST
Then there was the war, and they became rivals, and it's just-- And I was like, "Wow, like, these are my two worlds, and they live together now." And so I, that was a big catalyst for me to be like, "Oh, I could, I could do this." So I watched those as a regular reminder.
Gotham ChopraGUEST
And then there's Senna.
Mitch VareldzisHOST
He is, yeah.
Kellan OlsonHOST
Like, go back and watch him or Vlade Divac hold the ball at the top of the key, and they'll hold it there, and, like, instead of running a ball screen, like, some guy will curl around and kinda use him as a screen to come get the ball.
Kellan OlsonHOST
Or, like, okay, you're gonna top lock that, meaning deny the handoff at the top of the key around, then I'm just gonna back cut you and then get a layup.
Kellan OlsonHOST
Like, there's other movement that can happen.
Allen StilesHOST
Yeah.
Whitey GleasonHOST
And I know when Vlade was hiring Coach Yeager-
Allen StilesHOST
Mm-hmm
Whitey GleasonHOST
... who did a pretty good job, but things fell through there.
JD BunkisHOST
It was mostly like, "Hey, who should he be playing with? Hey, hey, what's the best deployment for Gavin McKenna? What, what do you do with him?" Which I think is kind of normal sports fan talk, but if Maple Leafs fans do it, then the internet loses their mind, and can't believe that they have the audacity to have any hockey question other than just fully support the team.
JD BunkisHOST
Um, basically, hockey Twitter treats Maple Leafs fans as though it's like Vlade's ideal fan, where it doesn't matter what you do on the field, it's just everybody supports you no matter what.
JD BunkisHOST
Um, and last night, McKenna gets this pri- or this assist to John Tavares, and I got to admit, like, I'm at the game, and I, I was like, "Is it, did he get assist on that?" He gets it, and the crowd is pretty tepid, and I went, "Ah, should've been a little bit better." And then he scores this beautiful, beautiful goal.
JD BunkisHOST
And sh- he even said after the game it's one of the best shots of his career.
John SpearsHOST
Grandmama.
ScooterHOST
Vlade Divac.
John SpearsHOST
Okay.
ScooterHOST
Yeah.
Anson WellsHOST
How, how long until that happens, Kool-Aid?
Kool-AidPANELIST
I actually think they have a good chance to play together, similar to Mike James and Divac.
Anson WellsHOST
I see that, but at, at some point-
Justin SatowPANELIST
Mm
Brendan HaywoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Right.
Brendan HaywoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Then you had the- They had it ... you had Sacramento running the high post offense with Vlade and them boys at the top- Golden State run and gun.
Brendan HaywoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Memphis ...
Brendan HaywoodSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Golden State run and gun.
Kayla AndersonHOST
Your-
Matt GeorgeHOST
I'm hanging out with Vlade 'cause I feel-
Kayla AndersonHOST
Your fascination with the Vlade doll today is concerning.

Why?
Kayla AndersonHOST
[laughs]

So screw all y'all.
Matt GeorgeHOST
I'm gonna hang with Doll Vlade, my GM.
