Show notes

Kobe's cousin and 1995 All-Star Cedric Ceballos pulls up on ALL THE SMOKE. Ced wasn't supposed to make it: he barely played in high school, got discovered working at a Taco Bell, and went from the 48th pick to leading the Lakers in scoring. He takes Matt and Stak inside the '93 Finals, the night Charles Barkley showed up for him, and what a 17-year-old Kobe told him the first time they talked. Hear what Jordan did the morning of a Finals game, why Steph would've gotten touched up in the 90s, and how Ced survived the ICU and three heart attacks. This one is a reminder of what the NBA brotherhood looks like.
