This story is insane!!

Darrell could always be found hooping at gyms throughout Gashouse (Bradley, Erwin, T Jeffers, Boys Club). I am glad he mentioned Boogie Crank’s name because he inspired many ballers from back home.

True indeed.i'm from Brooklyn but live in the gashouse and been coming down since 91 and the 4 ppl who are always mentioned when it comes to balling is James Worthy,Sleepy Floyd, Darrell Armstrong and Boogie Crank.especially Boogie and his tournament.Shoutout to Redo Rollins to.

Maneeee this interview was Dope

Dang… I did not ever realize that Daryl was even a 6 footer Let alone actually under that He played SO MUCH TALLER He had crazy bounce & He held Himself a lot Bigger I always thought He was 6’4 , 6’3” He holds himself very well He was a skinny dude in The League , that may have also made Him appear taller to Me and then add in that speed & bounce I used to get Daryl on My NBA Live teams, I always liked Daryl Armstrong Pretty sure it was Live 98 I used to grab Him as My backup PG A lot of times

I love that orlando jerseys from 90s and prlsndo arena that team 95 were fantastic horace shaq penny anderson Scott

Underrated is Overused

One thing I learned from this conversation - this man Daryl Armstrong will never forget 😂 Great storytelling. Great interview as usual 👊🏾

Dope Episode, Blessings!!!

Great interview

RESPECT!! Loved this interview. Admire D Armstrong’s hustle and tenacity!

One thing bout my guy is he ain't ever gon forget lol I rooted for him as a kid I was short until high school he definitely showed me you ain't have to be tall to ball

Another dope one. Legend down at Fayetteville State and in the 704 area. Terrell Brandon and Dana Barros would be good gets if you all could make it happen.

Great episode

Great interview fellas

Love these stories

Hella of story!! One of the best interviews

Great player in his day I remember when he won most improved and 6 man in the same year

Naw this one was a banger!!! The comedy was on another level. 🔥

I love The Knucklheads Podcast please do more episodes!

Great interview...

This was a great interview.

What a damn journey he had!!! That was awesome 👏

I ate chitterlings before the game and blew the bathroom up at halftime 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good interview 🔥🔥 I can remember being a kid watching Magic Vs Bulls and seeing D Strong in Royal Blue Easter Suit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks

That starting 5 is HUGE!!!

I wish they had this conversation after Friday night. He only played 14 minutes but I think that was the best I’ve ever seen Dante play and he really had an impact on them pulling away. They can just get that level of performance out of two of the bench guys I really believe they’re gonna be the Celtics again. Luka and Kyrie are going to get you 50 to 60, so you just need a couple of bench players to get 10 so they can score enough to win. The defense is already there and holding Boston to 106 every game.

DA had heart out there!

Bruh when he said Adam and Eve baby, i starting rolling yoo!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣..... Good fucking times!!!! .... Love this podcast so damn much you guys definitely the best bball pod ever!!!!..... Pacers nation

I used to love watching them Orlando Magic teams he played on

Salute!

He funny…she took my legs 🤣

Always like episodes with players who aren't as popular as some of the usual interviews

Great podcast, fellas! Would love to see the Hoop Dreams basketball players, Arthur Agee & William Gates on the show.
