Devean George on Lakers 3-Peat and Downfall
Listen now
Description
From 2000-2006, no Laker (other than Kobe Bryant) logged more games than Devean George. Drafted to LA out of Division 3 (!) Augsburg College in 1999, D George arrived in La-La Land just in time for three consecutive championships.
On today's episode, George recalls his first days in LA, a memorable draft workout with new head coach Phil Jackson, Kobe vouching to front office for him during contract negotiations, "Santa" Shaq and much more.
George is the only player other than Kobe that saw the glory of the 3-peat and the unraveling that followed.
