Ralph Sampson Wanted ALL THE SMOKE in the 80’s, NBA Brawls, MJ, Dr. J, Hakeem & Moses Malone

Before Victor Wembanyama, there was Ralph Sampson, the original unicorn. One of the nation’s first super recruits, Sampson appeared on six Sports Illustrated covers in four years at the University of Virginia and once more as a member of the Houston Rockets. Matt and Stak sit down with the Hall of Famer to reflect on his legendary career, from NBA brawls and battles with Michael Jordan and Dr. J to facing greats like Moses Malone and teaming up with Hakeem Olajuwon. He shares wild stories about receiving death threats in college, Bob Knight smacking a cop while coaching Team USA, running into Mad Max in jail, and the Puma deal that became a lifetime contract. Sampson remains one of the most under appreciated talents in basketball history, and this conversation proves why. #AllTheSmokeProductions #NBA #AllTheSmoke #houstonrockets #ralphsampson New DraftKings Pick6 customers: Play just $5 on your first pick set and get $50 in bonus picks.
