Desmond mason, danny fortson, brent barry. Then allen got hurt and out came Ronald FLIP Murray. That one time they went like 13-0 to begin their season. And they drafted that long dude Robert Swift who bought a mansion as a rookie, then trashed it, and later abandoned with old pizza and molds all over the place. Lol
this podcast is so special, D&Q can relate to so many players in the 2000s era it was a fun time of basketball so many ballers that can get lost in the recency bias of today its fun to hear their stories
This interview only made Me even more Glad that Rashard made it and the player He became in The NBA A Straight up Baller and a Real 1 Salute My Brother 🙏
Greatest part of these podcasts is learning over and over again that the players I loved when I was younger, I also love as people. Rashard is no exception. Love this dude. Then, now, always.
Lewis was a walking bucket 🪣 really was a true stretch forward that would put the rock on the floor…really was a killer in the T-Mac era and a killer on NBA LIVE 🙌🏾…salute to this man bro definitely underrated as far as talent 🤜🏾🤛🏾‼️
Rashard Lewis went to my rival school Elsik ,I went to Hastings .He graduated my freshman year ! Respect to Rashard 4 putting the SWAT on the map, truly was the truth in school, use to sneak over there to watch him play!
Sweet Lew!! once again y’all knucklehead boys keeping the heat on em with this classic player!! idk if it’s because i grew up in y’all era or what but when y’all be bringing in these players who was instrumental to my childhood hoop dreams! i remember calling anyone pro athlete who had the same last name as me, Lewis, my uncle! so shoutout y’all for having Uncle Shad!!
It was truly disrespectful when they put harden, dame, and Anthony Davis over him. This dude was a 3 time defensive player of the year, rookie of the year, 8 time all nba, 5 time all defensive team and a million all star games and he’s not top 75?!
Could not agree more, him not being in the top 75 was a real shame. Politics had to have played a part because of how he forced his way out of Orlando and a few other moments in his career.
Man I love this podcast you guys go after more than just big household names shoutout to Knuckleheads for great interviews ! Side bar get JKidd on the show !
I fully agree!!! This is much better than sitting through first take and undisputed by a long shot. Players respecting each other no matter how thier careers shaped out. Hoopers know if you made a NBA team you a dog regardless!!!
I remember growing up watching Q and his Whitney Young squad (Henry, Gates, and Najeeb a true frosh).. IL had some tough teams those years.. King with Leon Smith and Sawyer, Westinghouse with Banks and Bailey Bros, Wade over at Richards, Maine West loaded that year too . Fenwick with Maggette.. Galesburg was no joke either.. That Joey Range could ball.. Good times!
What's up to the whole Lewis and Johnson family. Mama Juanita always treated me like family. Started in Winfield Park Apartments on Corporate Drive in Alief back in like 91. They stayed downstairs from me. His older bro Ricky even came to live with us once we moved to The Clarke. Always stayed humble, him nor his family never switched up, always kept it 100 with me. Even though we haven't talked in years never got into it once. Life just happened. Still love all y'all. I'm proud u Rashard. Always told u that Hope everything and everybody still straight. Ricky holla @ me
I went to school with him too....hate that I never seen him actually play tho. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. Shout out to them rams and them bears alief TX all day and all night. DA SWAT baby!
0:55 - thank you Rashard for acknowledging my countryman Pedja Stojaković. 🇷🇸🇷🇸💪 He was lethal and underrated. He would be even bigger in today's Nba. TOP 10 3POINT SHOOTER FOR SURE and i hope soon HALL OF FAMER.
as good as he was back then, he would have thrived so much in today NBA cause of the way basketball is played now and also 3 and D wing is so hot at the moment. a SF/PF at 6'10 who shot nearly 40% from 3s with high volume... also a 80% FT shooter. Teams would have paid big bucks for him today
Y'all guys have the best guests. Some real killers that kind of got lost over the years. It fun to hear about the early days, before the big contracts.
Am I the only one who wouldn’t be mad at a Knucklehead’s x All The Smoke collab episode? Both sides asking each other questions about their careers. Each tandem played together. Both on the incline post-career. Under appreciated.
Would love to see an episode with the high schoolers that didn’t “make it” (together) to talk about the high school experience. Korleone Young, Lenny Cooke, Shea Cotton.
1/2 of the original “Splash Brothers”!!! My first time hearing him speak after all these years. Str8 out of the South-speaks well. Str8 out of High School-speaks well! Kinda sound like Kenyon Martin(also from Texas). Dope interview.
I respect this podcast for bringing some real killers on this podcast Mitch Richmond was my guy and was nice in nba live in lol.. Micheal Finley spin move was a cheat code in 2K and all the real 2K players know how rashard Lewis was giving it up in the game
Can yall please please get Allen Houston on the show. One of the coldest, underrated big guards. Smooth jumper and had a nice post up game. I'm a Pistons guy, and he was a monster coming out of Tennessee.
I love Rashard Lewis and the players from the 98 class. I am the same age as them and hearing about their growing up as kids brings me back to my own childhood.
This was an incredible interview. Rashad Lewis has a great career and had some great people in his corner who helped him become a solid NBA player. It was nice to hear his story.
Mr. Stretch four (yes, I know LO would have something to say and I would lean towards LO) was ahead of this time, real quiet demeanor and quiet confidence. Mr. Automatic in the corner for the threes. I think when he went to Orlando he dummy down his game because he was such a team player but in Seattle he would score in all 3 phases, post up, mid range and 3!! He would avg. 25-30 in today's game. And now hearing him talk in this interview you can tell he's even a better human being. This was a dope interview.... (Big Smooth Sam Perkins was the original OG of the stretch 4) but Detlef Schremof, Derrick Mckey, Robert Horry - they were doing but it wasnt popular in their time and before the wave started coming in league 97) My top Stretch 4's that were ahead of their time...in no particular order LO Tim Thomas L.Rewis Dirk N. Al Harrington......
Never forget how upset i felt when he left us(Sonics) for Orlando but was happy he got that big bag. Ran into Rashard at a nightclub in downtown Seattle during his free agent summer, chopped it up wit him for a minute tellin him not to leave to H-Town for that bag the Rockets had for him lol! Him and Jesus Shuttlesworth was killin teams back in da day!! One of the deadliest 2-3 combos the league has ever witnessed on the hardwood! Still remember when Rashard n Ray both ended up in Miami and they finally got their Championship Rings that they shouldve got in Seattle as SuperSonics! The entire country was hatin on the Heat becus of Lebron, ESPN took a poll before the Finals started and every state was rootin for San Antonio to win, except WAshington n FLorida lol. Salute to Rashard, one of wettest Jumpers from a 6'10" forward the league ever seen. Sonics Legend 4ever!!!
I will always root for Rashard. I was a college kid sonics ball boy when he came to Seattle. Quite , timid kid....glad he was successful, be earned it!
Great show! Much love to Q and D...yall should have a Illinois show with cats of the likes of Ellis from East St...Maurice Cheeks...Kendall Gill...and many more...Wild 100s love Q
It's great seeing someone you grew up with exposed into a legendary player in the league the real hard work and decided to his craft and become a Great 1 in history. Shout to both you brothers for this great interview Kings and Legend's in the world 🌎 of B-ball.
Forgot Rashard was picked in 2nd round much respect he put in work and got the bag !! Became a solid player good player !! Vets helped him tremendously
Probably the first time I’ve ever heard Rashard speak lol 🔥🔥🔥
No lie
I thought the exact same thing lol
same lol.
Real Shit
Definitely my first time
One of the most underated shooters of the past 20 years
Man in Orlando was lethal
@@BlickyMinaj leethallll...and with the length of his arms and release it was unstoppable
for damn sure
I don’t remember which 2K it was but that man was a bucket every time you passed to him
Underated? Dude just made like 200 mil lol
Rashard was ahead of his time and a certified bucket 🪣
Facts
Rashard Lewis in this Era would kill no questions asked. Know this is gonna be a dope interview as always knuckleheads coming with it
He killed it when He played.
A Straight Up Baller
Cap
@@miketyson454 so explain why he wouldn't kill in this Era
@@miketyson454 he would bro. He was a two way back then and a solid shooter
Technically he did play in this era...
This probably one of my favorite interviews y’all have done. Rashard was completely vulnerable and let it all out-entertainment & gems. Great show!
Dude yes
Man... Rashard Lewis is super humble... always can count on The Knuckle Heads for authentic and grounded interviews... 🙏🏾🔥🙏🏾🔥
Gotta have Monte Ellis on the show! Another one apart of the “Straight out of HS faternity“
I agree.
Monte one of my favorites all time
@@RICHperrySmitty Underrated ain’t even the word.. 🤦🏽♂️
And he was a bucket
Mississippi bullet
Rashard was built for this era. Man would be a Allstar in today’s game
He would be KD v2 .. this man was a beast in 2k though
@@nzmurda STRAIT CHEATCODE❗❗💯
@@nzmurda naw a step under KD I can’t give him all that
He made 2 Allstars in that era I know he would’ve triple that today
@@nzmurda man what!!! Hell yea
Him and Ray Allen on the Sonics was a must see also.
First Splash Brothers
Him, Allen, and Ridnour were offensive cheat codes on 2K !
@@ndn624 and that stretch 4 they had Vladimir Radmanovich
Underrated Duo Too ❗️
Desmond mason, danny fortson, brent barry. Then allen got hurt and out came Ronald FLIP Murray. That one time they went like 13-0 to begin their season. And they drafted that long dude Robert Swift who bought a mansion as a rookie, then trashed it, and later abandoned with old pizza and molds all over the place. Lol
Rashard Lewis. Man he would kill in today’s league. He had to guard players like KG and Chris Webber. Crazy
Well not really Webber. Shard played the 3 in Seattle, not the 4.
talk about tough assignments.
yup .. damn that's crazy!?
Nowitski,Duncan, Rasheed Wallace were some of his matchups too.2000s were competitive every night 💪
@@BlackSaiyan24 He Guarded Karl Malone Bra. I’m Sure he Guarded Webber At Some Point Considering all in Same Conference
Man such an underrated guy, he would dominate in today’s nba
this podcast is so special, D&Q can relate to so many players in the 2000s era it was a fun time of basketball so many ballers that can get lost in the recency bias of today its fun to hear their stories
6’10 with a ratchet, ima Hawks fan n still have nightmares about how D12 was drawing double teams n Lewis n VC was knockin them DOWN😭😭😂😂😂💯
This interview only made Me even more Glad that Rashard made it and the player He became in The NBA
A Straight up Baller and a Real 1
Salute My Brother 🙏
Greatest part of these podcasts is learning over and over again that the players I loved when I was younger, I also love as people. Rashard is no exception. Love this dude. Then, now, always.
Man Rashard & Hedo Turkoglu were ahead of their time!!! I was a big fan of that 09 Magic team. They would get buckets in today’s league.
Hearing nba legends stories made me fall in love again with how beautiful basketball is
I always like R.Lewis. Them early 00s squads on live were incredible. Three point shooters at every position.
Lewis was a walking bucket 🪣 really was a true stretch forward that would put the rock on the floor…really was a killer in the T-Mac era and a killer on NBA LIVE 🙌🏾…salute to this man bro definitely underrated as far as talent 🤜🏾🤛🏾‼️
Insane on Live haha
Fasho on Live...I played with him when I gambled
Y'all gotta get Sprewell! I'm interested in hearing his story.
As a heat fan living in toronto, was so happy for him to get a ring with Ray Allen aswell
Lewis was a beast! Three point sniper!
Rashard Lewis went to my rival school Elsik ,I went to Hastings .He graduated my freshman year ! Respect to Rashard 4 putting the SWAT on the map, truly was the truth in school, use to sneak over there to watch him play!
I came in your senior year lol I was 05’ at Hastings
I love how they revere their HS playing days/ AAU. Low key loved it more than the league
Rashard Lewis was my favorite player before Lebron in middle school/ high school. He doesn’t get enough credit as one of the greatest shooters.
Sweet Lew!! once again y’all knucklehead boys keeping the heat on em with this classic player!! idk if it’s because i grew up in y’all era or what but when y’all be bringing in these players who was instrumental to my childhood hoop dreams! i remember calling anyone pro athlete who had the same last name as me, Lewis, my uncle! so shoutout y’all for having Uncle Shad!!
HTOWN IN THE BUILDING. I remember watching Rashad in High School and he was COOKIN... He was a year older than me and gave everyone in HTOWN THAT WORK
DWIGHT HOWARD IS ONE OF THE BEST TRUE BIG MAN IN THE GAME. WHAT A CENTER WAS BEFORE ALL OF THIS SHOOTING WAS EMPHASIZED
DWIGHT IS TOP 75
It was truly disrespectful when they put harden, dame, and Anthony Davis over him.
This dude was a 3 time defensive player of the year, rookie of the year, 8 time all nba, 5 time all defensive team and a million all star games and he’s not top 75?!
Could not agree more, him not being in the top 75 was a real shame. Politics had to have played a part because of how he forced his way out of Orlando and a few other moments in his career.
We need a TJ Ford episode asap
Shard!!! Legend still in Orlando. We love you bruh!
Rashard a legend in Alief! Southwest Houston 1 of 1
Man I love this podcast you guys go after more than just big household names shoutout to Knuckleheads for great interviews ! Side bar get JKidd on the show !
I fully agree!!! This is much better than sitting through first take and undisputed by a long shot. Players respecting each other no matter how thier careers shaped out. Hoopers know if you made a NBA team you a dog regardless!!!
i swear to god
I remember growing up watching Q and his Whitney Young squad (Henry, Gates, and Najeeb a true frosh).. IL had some tough teams those years.. King with Leon Smith and Sawyer, Westinghouse with Banks and Bailey Bros, Wade over at Richards, Maine West loaded that year too . Fenwick with Maggette.. Galesburg was no joke either.. That Joey Range could ball.. Good times!
You wrote 2 names that you had to be a hooper to know. Najeeb Echols and Imari Sawyer.. sheesh
@@aaronhutchinson885 Echols was nice 😊
Man, Rashard is so real. Respect
This podcast feels like listening to early year 2k underground hip hop music. Interviews like this are gems! Thank you Knuckleheads!

Super Dope Interview! Rashard was One of My Favorite Players of The Late 90-00s…Same for QRich going back to his days at DePaul.
What's up to the whole Lewis and Johnson family. Mama Juanita always treated me like family. Started in Winfield Park Apartments on Corporate Drive in Alief back in like 91. They stayed downstairs from me.
His older bro Ricky even came to live with us once we moved to The Clarke.
Always stayed humble, him nor his family never switched up, always kept it 100 with me.
Even though we haven't talked in years never got into it once.
Life just happened. Still love all y'all.
I'm proud u Rashard. Always told u that
Hope everything and everybody still straight.
Ricky holla @ me
I went to Elsik high with him. I used to go to all of his games. Those were some great times. Dude could hoop.
I went to school with him too....hate that I never seen him actually play tho. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. Shout out to them rams and them bears alief TX all day and all night. DA SWAT baby!

I’ve been a Magic fan for a minute and this is the most I’ve heard Rasheed Lewis talk.
Top 5 most amazing shot. Loved his form and follow through 🏀
Mr Lewis to the Lakers right now! Wow. Its always a pleasure to see Q Rich and D Miles interviews. You guys do such a Great Job.
as good as he was back then, he would have thrived so much in today NBA cause of the way basketball is played now and also 3 and D wing is so hot at the moment. a SF/PF at 6'10 who shot nearly 40% from 3s with high volume... also a 80% FT shooter. Teams would have paid big bucks for him today
Nice to see Rashard Lewis on the podcast. Great job as usual Q & D for continuing to have guys like Rashard Lewis on your podcast.
Always liked his game, love the way he admitted to who busted his ass he even mentioned 2, he was so smoothed loved him with the Sonics.
I remember playing with Rashard Lewis on NBA Street Vol 2 🔥🔥🔥 him and ray was a deadly combo 😭
I loved playing with them on NBA 2K2
Y'all guys have the best guests. Some real killers that kind of got lost over the years. It fun to hear about the early days, before the big contracts.
Rashard Lewis was always one of them guys my young ahh love to watch he such a chill dude

Rashard & Amar’e really made me get into basketball. Great interview!
“Who was the first person to bust your aaa” 😂
Rashard Lewis!!!!!...Seattle Legend!!!!
He would be a superstar in today league 6’ 10 sniper 3 level scorer
Would love to see an episode with the high schoolers that didn’t “make it” (together) to talk about the high school experience.
Korleone Young, Lenny Cooke, Shea Cotton.
Great idea brother, ESPECIALLY LENNY COOKE
That'll be dope!
Ronnie Fields too
1/2 of the original “Splash Brothers”!!! My first time hearing him speak after all these years.
Str8 out of the South-speaks well. Str8 out of High School-speaks well! Kinda sound like Kenyon Martin(also from Texas). Dope interview.

Lewis and ray was a decent combo . I award Lewis as the first sf/pf stretch 4 dirk the first stretch 4/5 and ockur of the pistons- Utah stretch 5
Great to see Rashard Lewis positive telling his story especially about what happened in the 1998 NBA Draft where he slipped to the 2nd round.
This was dope. Yo Rashad was crazy in the video games with that way back shooting form!
Rashard always had a smooth ass game he was ahead of his time if he was with Sacramento during their prime he could've been a superstar
Wow definetly cool to see a lewis interview and hear his stories.. ever episode always fire... thanks for letting us see your world..
Can yall please please get Allen Houston on the show. One of the coldest, underrated big guards. Smooth jumper and had a nice post up game. I'm a Pistons guy, and he was a monster coming out of Tennessee.
I went to Elsik with him and his sister. I'm proud of him. MIGHTY RAMS, WOLF PACK, SWAT
The early 2000's nostalgia this pod just gave me with these 3 is crazy. The long white T's and airforces days.
I love hearing the high school stories these guys have. I can imagine all of them as youngins ready to kill!
Rashard Lewis was a great player and solid brother as well. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Best line in this interview from D. “Go time for u D miles” 🤣 😂
