The meat and potatoes of the show delves into Micheal's upbringing in Denver, college life at the University of Montana and his eventual arrival in New York as a member of a good but not great Knicks team. Of course, no breakdown of Micheal Ray is complete without discussing his issues with addictions, his wild party life as well as his brief run in Golden State. We finish up with a look at his redemption tour as a member of the New Jersey Nets including a stunning upset of the defending champion Philadelphia 76ers.
