Vlade Divac | Part 1
from Byron Scott's Fast Break Hosted by Change The Game
Vlade Divac joins Byron Scott to revisit the Kobe Bryant trade that shocked him, his path as a European pioneer in the NBA, and the strategy he used to survive Shaquille O’Neal. He also opens up about Luka Dončić, De’Aaron Fox, Nikola Jokić, Magic Johnson, and more. In Part 1, Vlade looks back on being drafted by the Lakers in 1989, learning from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, taking over Kareem’s locker, and navigating the end of the Showtime era. He also talks about the emotional fallout of Magic’s retirement, the 1991 NBA Finals against Michael Jordan’s Bulls, the greatness of Dražen Petrović and Arvydas Sabonis, his Charlotte Hornets years, and the modern NBA through the eyes of a Hall of Fame player and former Kings executive.
