The Bench: Episode 25

Episode 25 - "Mad Dog In The House!" Unforunately this week, both John Kyle and Vanessa B were forced to miss the show due to various ailments. And when we say unfortunately - we mean for THEM because they missed a KILLER episode! This week's guest is a 4 year NCAA D1 star, and a 2 time NBA Champion. He was a heart and soul guy who played the game hard, and danced even harder! He is currently an assistant coach under Byron Scott with the Los Angeles Lakers.  He is "The Mad Dog" Mark Madsen! We ask Madsen about the tough year that the Lakers are coming off of, the evolution of Kobe Bryant, projections for Julius Randle, his time playing with KG, the Hack a Shaq strategy, and the time he got into a bit of an altercation with Shaquille in practice! All of that PLUS more with Mark Madsen! Please visit his website where you can read a ton of great content written by the man himself.  Go to MarkMadsen.com  Also on this week's show, Donnie and Curtis discuss the shortening of the NCAA shot clock, deleted tweets, what do the Raptors have to do to bounce back from a disappointing post season, and SO MUCH MORE!
