Greg Stiemsma hopped on the show to discuss his basketball journey. From the major success in high school, to the lows through college. To the grind overseas and summer leagues, before his big break in the NBA. Greg talks about what it was like playing on the same team as Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce & Ray Allen. To how Rajon Rondo was so good, that he would purposely make the game harder on himself because he was bored. To losing to LeBron James & the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. That time Doc Rivers/Danny Ainge told him not to comeback to the Celtics, so he can go get paid. How stoked he was about getting his nike sponsorship so he can finally get hooked up with some gear. Discussing his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and how he was happy to be back close to home, and meeting his wife! And of course his time with the Pelicans & the Raptors. Greg also discussed how NBA players face a lot of stress and pressure. And how he is very vocal to the public about bringing awareness to Depression and to seek help. And what it was like speaking up about this issue when it was not being talked about around the league. A must listen!
