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. Follow Forgotten Seasons (@forgottenseasonsnba) for more.
