    --------
    In this clip, Rafer Alston talked about his experience with the Milwaukee Bucks and having more appreciation for his time there. Rafer discussed briefly being out of the league but learning the politics of the NBA during that time. He also revealed how pivotal two 10-day contracts were for his career taking off.
    In this clip, Rafer Alston talked about his time playing for the Miami Heat and having the opportunity to be teammates with Dwyane Wade and Lamar Odom. Rafer then talked about landing his first and only major deal that was worth $30 million over 6 years (incentives included) with the Toronto Raptors.. He also discussed calling Jalen Rose a terrible teammate but admitted the tension was reciprocal.

    Rafer was shooting 3’s from deep on the Rockets and Magic. Go watch the Orlando vs Lakers series Rafer was killing it he was Skip on the floor that Kobe had to guard him. Then that goof of a coach benched him for Jameer Nelson who just came back from an injury. One of the dumbest moves as a coach I was so pissed.

    i hope vlad ask him do he hold any resentment toward van gundy for that obvious bias line up call in the finals against L.A that one year. I was rooting for kobe, but it really rubbed me the wrong way how van gundy really made the last minute call of starting a injured jameer nelson in the finals even tho skip was the main pg/player outside of dwight that was making everything happen for em for them to even make the finals smh

    Rafer Alston was the man back then in And 1. My cousin would buy all the mixtapes from the back of this magazine. I grew up watching those and got into basketball because of this. Now that I’m older I see i was inspired by it especially seeing him get to the nba. Being teammates with T-mac and being able to play as him in nba street 2.
