Ricky Davis has come a long way. He entered the league as a 17-year-old kid from Davenport, Iowa, and over the next 12 years would share the court with some of the best players to ever lace up. FS creator Dylan Dreyfuss is joined by 8-year NBA veteran and current media mogul, Jelani McCoy. Jelani and Ricky are both members of the 1998 NBA Draft class and were teammates with the 2003/04 Cleveland Cavs. Davis relives many of the stops in his journey, most notably the early 2000's with the Heat and Cavs, a 2005 season in Boston in which he finished runner-up in the Sixth Man of the Year voting, and his final stops in Minnesota and Miami. Over his career, Davis was labeled as a journey man, and sometimes even worse as a "good stats, bad team" guy. While he was aware of some of the narratives clouding him, it only fueled him to keep going and do what he loved most: getting buckets.Other conversation points include NBA accessory culture in the 2000s, the great/forgotten Dajuan Wagner, 2005 First Round matchup vs. the Malice Pacers, the fabled UCLA Men's league, his infamous triple double, baptizing Steve Nash and more.

On episode 23 of A. M. University we sat down with "OG" Arthur Barclay of the prestigious Camden High School. OG was a huge part of the legendary team that won the Tournament of Champions as a public school, one of only two boys public schools to ever accomplish this in the state of New Jersey. We discussed this, his epic battle with the late Eddie Griffin, and playing along side arguably the best player New Jersey has ever seen in Dajuan Wagner.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with Portland Trailblazers TV analyst Lamar Hurd. They open with the unique situation Lamar is in being the only non-former player or coach to be a full-time TV game analyst in the NBA. Lamar details some awkward off-air situations in his first season, but also the support that has meant the most. The guys go back to Lamar's HS days in Houston where his teammate scored 101 points in a game the same night Dajuan Wagner scored 100 in New Jersey. Plus, Lamar goes through why he turned down a potential NBA playing opportunity, how he landed the job he has today calling Blazers games, and what success will look like for him and whoever his new play-by-play partner is in Portland this season.
