Whos they?

This was a really interesting episode because it shined a light on an aspect of Isiah Thomas' time in and around the NBA that I never knew, but this panel had unique insight into it. I was a huge Michael Jordan fan as a kid so I'd always had an aversion to Thomas and the Bad Boys of Detroit. But the respect/reverence with which Chris Webber, Steve Smith, and Grant Hill talked about Thomas teaching, encouraging, and mentoring them [well before they'd made the NBA in some cases] struck me as being a stark contrast from all of the videos I've seen and all of the articles/essays I've read about how Jordan's competitive nature "destroyed" or "broke" his competitors and some of his own teammates. This isn't to say that Thomas is perfect or didn't have his flaws as a player/coach/GM or even that he's a better player than Jordan; none of those statements are true. But he clearly engaged and reached out to others in a way I can't imagine Jordan doing, and I think he deserves respect for that, even from a Jordan fan like myself.

I am a big Sacramento Kings fan but I can understand how hard it is to be in that kind of market Chris Webber has my respect

Had watched many "Open Court" episodes and if asked spur of the moment, this is my topmost favorite episode (barring something better came up). Kudos to EJ or anyone who brought the concept of delegating the topic/s to the players. Second, Kenny "The Jet" Smith-less episodes have become personal favorites. He's been a heckler and overly butting in in someone's stories/sharing as if he's the alpha in the panel. Sure, he's a Tar Heel, but without Hakeem in his career he don't deserve to be there. Thankful he went sabbatical at some point during the show's run. Third, C-Webb's sharing/revelations have been eye-opening, like he considered joining Tim Duncan in 2001, which is intertwined with Doug Christie's extension that probably led for him to re-sign as well, plus Christie's trade affected him too in 2005. Few weeks later, he was traded to Philly. Great balance, wonderful insights and storytelling.

Kenny can definitely be annoying and arrogant at times, fully agreed. However, he does show a good understanding of the game, and he’s not as irritating as Shaq when he gets salty and agressive. Kenny should be more like Steve Kerr. Love that dude. Humble, funny and real insightful.

@OrionOodama

@@production60 Well, "The Jet" must know the game better as he has been on TNT since the late 90s. Problem is, he has Dunning-Kruger effect and disrupted supposed great stories/insights from colleagues several times. Having a know-how never means other people's takes are to be interrupted and denied to unfold, betraying the audience's curiosity. I take Steve Kerr's stories anytime. He's a class act while edgy and competitive if necessary. Remember this is the same man stood for himself when he had enough of GOAT's bullying ways. And as a coach, he meshed the teachings and philosophies of PhilJax and Pop into his.

@@OrionOodama I completely agree, Kenny interrupts the others way too much. I think he feels disrespected or overshadowed by players that were far better than he was. Like he needs to interrupt them to tell his stories, so he feels like he belongs. Meanwhile, Steve Kerr understands, and seems completely at peace with the fact that he was a role player. He brings his different perspective without interrupting the others.
