Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with former lottery pick and 8-year NBA vet Gerald Henderson Jr. He discusses the early years of his basketball journey, including the pros and cons of growing up as the son of a 3-time NBA champion and being a high school teammate of another future pro, Wayne Ellington. He talks about battling an Oak Hill Academy team that had Ty Lawson, Nolan Smith, and Michael Beasley, calling Jay Wright to tell the coach that he wasn't going to Villanova, and playing in the McDonald's All-American Game with Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. The former Duke star also tells phenomenal stories about a nightmare practice with Coach K, golfing with Roy Williams, breaking Tyler Hansbrough's nose, and going shot-for-shot against Steph Curry in a pre-draft workout. He also reveals the shocking reason why Larry Brown didn't want him to play well on the Bobcats, who Charles Oakley was trying to fight in practice, and what's in Dr. J's fridge. And he explains what Kemba Walker, Damian Lillard, and Joel Embiid are really like as teammates.
