We go ISO with 10-year NBA vet Ryan Hollins. The former UCLA star details his incredibly collegiate journey, going from the worst season in Bruins history to earning Most Outstanding Player honors in the 2006 West Regional. Hollins also takes us inside his draft night frustrations, Larry Brown's practices, Rajon Rondo's brain, and Mark Cuban's wealth. He has remarkable insight into the "Lob City" Clippers, including how he navigated Donald Sterling's racism, what Chris Paul was really like as a teammate, and why they couldn't get over the hump. The ESPN, FOX, and CBS broadcaster also explained why he isn't a troll, but rather a former player who enjoys candid conversations and disagreeing with Kendrick Perkins.
