Adam and Noah go ISO with former Duke star, former NBA center and current Sixers TV analyst Alaa Abdelnaby. Alaa goes back to his HS days in New Jersey where Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski saw him play over 60 times. He tells stories of his early NBA days in Portland, the advice he got from teammate Danny Ainge, the time he realized that he'd never be Dennis Rodman, the game that Robert Parish played with his paycheck in his sock, why he and Xavier McDaniel fought every day in Celtics practice for a month and the summer pickup game where Michael Jordan played like it was Game 7. Plus, he details the heartbreaking story of his close friend Reggie Lewis dying as Alaa rushed to the hospital.
