Now that Dragic retired, I would love to see him on the podcast too!
He retired?? We could still use him on the Heat now.
Yup yup
@@smithsfan425 Dragic could be 10 and 10 a night guy. Pat Riley slacking
Dragic ftw
This is a MUST!!!!!!
I already appreciate the level of detail in the podcast. The fact that you all have a team breaking down the clips and timestamping is big for me. Can't wait to dig into these episodes.
Time stamping is a major game changer🔥
Crazy how Coach Billy D turned UF into a power house basketball school. Definitely the foundation was laid by those 2 major pieces to that program.
Another terrific show. UD & MM...keep it going!
Two authentic, real Guys U.D. and Mike Miller "The OG's" is already becoming one of my favorite pods, these 2 have that Quentin Richardson and Darius Miles (Knuckleheads) chemistry with the interviews, just a cool laid back vibe! 💯
Billy Donovan is hilarious. Is my 1st time seeing his personality out in the open. He's great! I kinda love him now. Love his ideas and opinions about the in and out of the basketball and college basketball.
He was such a great guess
Totally agree
This was awesome! Billy Donovan is a legend along with these guys who built the foundation of the team who made it to '99-'00 NCAA Championship, something most people did not think could happen after Lon Kruger got us there in '94. Great podcast Mike and Udonis, hope to see more former Gators on here, great to see the different generation of Gators on here!
Billy Donovan underrated Champion Coach
Love Billy’s laugh he loves his former players and the game. Love it
As a longtime Gator basketball fan, this is gold. Just amazing. Thanks so much!
Wow I didn’t see this coming… should be amazing!
Great interview. Love Billy Donovan. I hope the Bulls have patience with him. Bulls are playing better with Lavine out.
I remember playing in the Dodge Shootout in Gainesville over the summer in high school. OG was supposed to be the new T-Mac. I was scared to ask UD for an autograph. Lol. Great time playing against Kwame Brown, Nick Calathes, Chandler Parson. Great time meeting UD, Brent Wright, Teddy D, Ladarius Halton, good times thanks Coach Billy D.
Another 🔥 episode. Love the flowers given on this show. If you was eva sleep on UD and Mike, now you gotta wake tf up...
“If the season started today, I couldn’t play either one of you MFs” 😂😂😂 UD too funny
This is now one of my favorite basketball shows to listen to ( and watch)
No BS. you guys don’t try to make controversial statements or talk about things like you’re always right.
Just good conversation with great guests spitting knowledge
So many gems from these 3 OGs
Bangers as usual 🤌🏼
Dawg, I fucking love this podcast
UD real as it gets. 💯
Thank you so much for this interview, it was fantastic. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Im 42 GA born and raised...Gator Greats!!! That 2000 squad made UF my favorite college 🏀 team fa life!!!
This show keeps getting better. I remember watching UF go back to back with Joakim!
UD talking about Mike carrying the all white team in hs had me laughing out loud. This mf passed to himself 😂😂😂😂
This pod is gold fellas.
Great guest to have on, excited for this one 🔥

Billy Donovan ,, Rockville Center ,Long Island, NY.. great dude.. Very smart ballplayer...Did very well as a coach.. Great guy..
Let’s gooo! New episode! 🔥
This gonna be dope!
I remember Mike coming in the Barber shop when I was there in Gville, the one that was on University across from campus by the Purple Porpoise
Its crazy the history that the OGs have with people. When I see this coach, I remember the big 3 heat and little 12 days when we beat that young athletic okc team 4-1
Get Kenyon Martin on the show that’d be some OG shit.loving it so far
I definitely agree
Mike miller would be a good assistant coach
W Kentucky Chris Marcus 7'1" is the player i believe they mentioned , who had an interesting life, never played till high school. Sadly passed in 2020.
Love this - thanks so much
Go Gators
this podcast is actually so good
What a pod!!
Great podcast 💪🏿💯💯
Man I’ve always loved coach.favorite coach of all time .wish we could’ve kept him at Marshall…yall need to get coach with j will on the show.
Loved this pod! Keep them coming! Hopefully Dragic can come on now that he’s retired!
Coming for that 1 spot💯 great pod
UD mentioning graduates still working at normal jobs than the career job they studied for back in his day that’s still happening today. It’s just hard out there after graduating
I love how Haslem gives Mike his flowers
Awesome podcast... go gators! - Loved hearing the stories before you guys made it to the NBA. UF Basketball hasn't been the same since Billy D left...
Brilliant
GREAT EPISODE!!! Have Precious Achiuwa that knows both of you, Dragic, Caron, man the list is limitless!
LEGENDS!!! Will send to all my fellow Gators to like and sub to you guys! Keep this badass pod goin' and GO GATORS!
Mike/UD, doubt y’all see this, but one of my favorite memories as a kid was this one time @ UF basketball camp where UD was coaching a team of 10yr olds. All the UF players coached and/or refereed the games all the campgoer’s, and UD’s team lost vs my team (can’t even remember my coach lol) in the finals due to a bad call from one of the other players. UD’s reaction would make Bobby Knight blush. It was admittedly a little scary at the time but I believe UD had to be physically restrained from fighting one his teammates who was refereeing a camp ball game. From there on it was no surprise that UD won wherever he went. Nobody can teach you that type of competitiveness.
As an old 34 yo with 3 kids now thank you guys & coach, of course, for the memories as a kid. Congrats on all of y’all’s successes in life, #1 of course is being good fathers. Looking forward to more of this!
The big guy from Western Kentucky they couldn’t remember name was Chris Marcus (RIP)
This show will win 2024 sports podcast of the year putting it out there for y’all hope y’all get it 🫡🔥💯
Billy’s laugh 😂😂
@UD from your brother from Duval I am making sure all the fellas watch you and Mike’s podcast. This is like sitting around chopping it up with you and MM. Keep up the good work.
Wishlist of guest: Antoine Walker, Ray Allen (only former C’s @UD would chop it up with), Rasheed Wallace, Elton Brand, K Martin, GP, White Chocolate anybody
coach's laugh 😹😹
41:21 😂
What was melo like in OKC? And was it difficult to balance out the offensive with Russ and pg?.
Went in liking Billy D, left lovin' Billy D.
Amazing episode, went by too fast
Gator Greats! 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
I got those same Versace glasses
I’m a Miami fan that includes the U Go Canes
damn who produced the intro music 🔥🔥🔥
#ChicagoBulls #BillyDonavan #JasonWillams. The Bulls got an open coaching position. You know Billy's system come on with it. We got some young dogs.
Billy-can you talk about the walk-ons?? Patrick O’Connor? Dave Kliewer? Adriel Davis?
3 Gator legends🐊
I agree try getting the dragon on there. He said he wanted to live in Miami at the end of his career too supposedly
13:40 LOL
Udonis Haslem’s statement about people who have a degree is wild and very poor. I see why dude can’t even talk without cursing left and right. I glad the coach as a smart man educated him. Dude you are lucky because you were gifted with body that allowed you to play a sport that goes and match perfectly with the size that you have. So, instead talking down on people that were not built with the size that you have, the height that you have, the potential that you have a sport, say thanks to God bro.
Exactly. And of course people think its so cool. Its pathetic. He'd probably be in jail otherwise.
Ik this a basketball pod, but Duke Johnson would be a lit guest
🐊
🐊🐊😤
Would love see Mike Beasley on this junt too
It was Chris Marcus....big man outta Western Kentucky....
Jason Kidd has been in the NBA in 1994. How come Coach B be recruiting both of them at the same team in college?
I pretty sure Rick Patino was his coach at Providence..
They gotta get Frank Martin on this podcast.
You should have Gerald green on bro went crazy for Miami heat
🐊🐊
Get Dooling on here fellas.
Miami Senior High School...
it's pretty crazy to see what the NCAA has wrought for itself. trying for so long to keep players from being paid might ultimately be their downfall. But we'll see
UD is comedy😭😭😭
Why the got Billiam looking like a zombie in the thumbnail? 😂
Gataaa
Chris Marcus was his name RIP
Yall can't tell me Billy Donovan doesn't look like a middle age Justin Bieber 🧓
@4:52. Come on billy. Stop the lying. Everyone knows you can buy 40 ounce beers in the state of Florida 😂
dragic please
OK
Damn this was WAY too short. (#)
Go gators
Get brett nelson
