Jamal Crawford

So Larry Brown was the coach.

Danny Manning, they had just won the national championship.

And so that's when I was introduced to KU, and that's where I was going to go until I made the decision to stay home and to go to Cal.

And I remember you played a game in Allen Fieldhouse, right?

we did we lost the fall got us um but what a great atmosphere oh yeah when you talk uh just that the the fans um they definitely have home court but that's you know my dad was uh from there so um at the age of uh

12, 13, I went to basketball camp and I was playing with the eighth graders.

And then during camp, they asked me, would I go and play with the high school kids?

And I was all excited thinking I was going to be playing in Allen Fieldhouse.

And unfortunately, they took me down the street and I was a little upset that we were leaving the main court.

And so I wish I was staying with the eighth graders, but that's when I was introduced to playing with the high school kids.

Okay.

Would you rather have your career

or Cooper Flagg's career moving forward?

Oh, I'm going to take Cooper Flagg's career.

Wait, you're a Hall of Famer.

Oh, he's going to be one, too.

He's special.

When you talk about being drafted at the age of 18 and now being 19, but just the way he carries himself on and off the floor, his parents have done an incredible job of keeping him humble and hungry.

And so I think his career is going to be way better than mine.

When did you know that, okay, he's real?
