Episode 41: TJ McConnell | “The last invite”
Listen now
Description
This week, The Long Shot welcomes on one of our favorite players in the NBA, TJ McConnell. TJ and Duncan share a lot in common… both transferred to high major programs in college, both were undrafted, and both just signed big contracts in the off-season. The guys cover TJ’s journey through the NBA, how he differentiates himself on the court, what it’s like to get a triple double with steals, what his pre-draft workouts looked like, and more. They also have an honest discussion about what it’s like to go from the “underdog” to someone who signed a big contract, how you keep an edge on your shoulder, and what TJ leans on outside of basketball to stay grounded. Finally, the guys talk about the “Process” Sixers, who TJ wishes to share a glass of wine with in the NBA, and the time he got mistaken as a coach. Before the conversation, Duncan and Davis tease their upcoming live show, break down the Jokic/Morris altercation, reflect on Duncan’s favorite post-game interview, and more!
