Description

We go ISO with one of the best shooters in NBA history, Anthony Morrow. The 9-year vet discusses his feelings about Kevin Durant recently disrespecting him and other former OKC Thunder teammates. Morrow reveals how much the shocking defeat in the 2016 Western Conference Finals still bothers him and what it was like when he found out Durant left for the Warriors. The former Mr. Basketball in North Carolina reveals the incredible challenges he faced as a child, including dealing with homelessness and helping his mother clean buildings in the middle of the night after starring in high school games. He explains his remarkable journey going from an undrafted free agent to a record-setting rookie starter with the Warriors. Morrow talks about what he saw (and didn't see) Steph Curry's rookie year that led him to believe Steph would one day change the game of basketball. And he gives him some detailed tips on becoming a better shooter.
