Every time we talk to a Seattle hooper the name David King is always mentioned when talking about the best to come out of the area. The powerful frame, Olajuwon-like footwork and incredible basketball hands is what most opponents rave about. He was key to the memorable and historic State Championship win in 1998 with Rainier Beach High School. Although his high school teammate was NBA Legend Jamal Crawford, it was David King with the post-game interview shouting that he was going to Disneyland after the victory. 

King will forever be loved and respected in Seattle, but we feel that he needs to be recognized in the entire basketball world. He has continued to be an important contributor to the game by both coaching high school basketball and running The CrawsOver as the director/commissioner. The CrawsOver is one of the most recognized Pro-Ams in the country and we get to hear all about it here. Great stories were shared about growing up in Seattle, the hoops scene in the City, a historic title run, Jamal Crawford, Douglas Wrenn-El, Doug Christie, LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, The CrawsOver, getting the Sonics back, coaching, and MUCH more!

Don’t sleep on this episode! David King was such an incredible guest and we are forever grateful for the experience. We had so much fun with him and we can see why he was so loved and respected by those who know him. We know you’ll feel the same after hearing his story.

Thank You David King!

Be sure to support The CrawsOver and Rainier Beach High School basketball.

C Webb is in the building! He’s the man who’s always been at the center of the culture – from his star-studded AAU team to the legendary Fab Five years to his 15-year run in the league. The Midwest legend begins by breaking down his insanely stacked AAU teams and explaining the wild Midwest basketball culture he thrived in while growing up. Then it’s all about Michigan and the Fab Five. The boys who defined college basketball at the time. He gets into the baggy shorts and the buzz cuts, what that ride to fame as a group of college friends was like, and how painful it was experiencing losses in back-to-back championship games. Then he chats post-college, how his mother creatively helped him get over The Timeout, and how the draft process saw him through some hard times. From there, the guys take turns imagining what a C Webb-Shaq duo would’ve done to the basketball world, and Chris gives the backstory of why Shaq pushed for Penny Hardaway. It all worked out, as C Webb linked up with part of Run TMC in Golden State and snatched Rookie of the Year. He goes on to explain his Godfather-like contract, which allowed him to be a free agent after his first season, and what sent him to the East to reunite with Juwan Howard in D.C. The guys then get into C Webb’s finding out that he’d been traded to Sacramento ... while in a grocery store, and why he was so adamant about not wanting to play there. Things changed fast, though, as teammates made him love it there and his arrival led to the Kings’ most successful stretch. C Webb then touches on the final years of his career, what it was like to play with AI in Philly, and what he’s been doing since he retired, including growing his collection of African-American artifacts and teaching a master’s class at Wake Forest. We see you, Professor! C Webb has truly done it ALL. From the game of basketball to the game of life, Chris Webber is a hands-down inspiration. Tune IN!

Sacramento Kings fans will be very familiar with today’s guest. We got to hang out with the legendary, former voice of the Sacramento Kings, Grant Napear. There Is absolutely no episode quite like this one and we believe it is an important one too. 

Napear was born to be behind the microphone. He got his start announcing games for Bowling Green and it was fun hearing all about the journey of how he became one of the most iconic voices and a huge part of the Sacramento Kings family. He talked about the difference between calling Radio & TV, those amazing Kings teams, Marv Albert, Cancel Culture, his Podcast, and MUCH more.

We learned a lot today, shared quite a few laughs, and heard some incredible stories. We also had some very tough but important conversations, which is what we feel isn't happening enough for us to truly come together, educate, and fully understand each other. We are so grateful for our time with Grant Napear and we can’t thank him enough for joining us today.

Thank You Grant Napear!
