Interview with NBA Draft Hopeful Shad O'Greene
Controversial prospect defends himself from accusations and his past
By Stephen A. Smith
ESPNNewYork.com
The following is a transcript of NBA Analyst Stephen A. Smith's live interview with NBA Draft prospect Shad O'Greene. You can listen to the interview and the full show on ESPN 1050 in New York from 7-9 p.m. ET
Stephen A. Smith: I'LL GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, ARE YOU A JUNKIE OR NOT?
SO'G: Definitely. Not.
Stephen A. Smith: ARE YOU LYING TO ME? ARE YOU LYING TO STEPHEN A. SMITH? A RECENT AP REPORT STATES THAT YOU ARE A CONVICTED DRUG USER. YOU DON'T MAKE A FOOL OF STEPHEN A. SMITH!
SO'G: It's a misunderstanding or lack of research on their part. I did check into a drug rehabilitation center but I was never convicted of any drug related crime.
Stephen A. Smith: SO YOU ARE AN ADDICT! WHAT SUBSTANCES DID YOU TAKE THAT MADE YOU ENTER YOURSELF INTO REHAB? COKE? CRACK? HEROINE? SPEED? X? MARIJUANA? CHEEZ DOODLES, WHICH BY THE WAY I MIGHT ADD ARE DELICIOUS.
SO'G: None of those stuff you mentioned. It was cough medicine or cough syrup.
Stephen A. Smith: YOU ARE GIVING ME BS RIGHT?! *licks Cheez Doodle bits of fingers* WHAT WOULD A GROWN MAN WITH DOODLES OF MONEY PLAYING FOR A PRO LEAGUE IN THEIR COUNTRY GET HOOKED ON COUGH MEDICINE WHEN YOU CAN EASILY BUY HIGH END DRUGS LIKE COCAINE OR X OR BUY A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF CHEEZ DOODLES?
SO'G: Every time we had a game I screamed a lot to my teammates. Whether I was on the bench or out there on the court. Even though I didn't have a cough, the medicine made my throat feel fine after all that exertion, I think you understand with all the screaming that you also do on your job, and it just went off from there until to the point that I was addicted to it an had to drink a bottle before and after every game plus in between quarters.
Stephen A. Smith: STEPHEN A. SMITH DOESN'T SCREAM LIKE SOME LUNATIC. IT MAY SOUND LIKE SCREAMING TO SOME HATERS BUT IT'S NOT. THIS IS MY NATURAL VOICE WHICH IS FILLED WITH CONVICTION AS I ALWAYS SPEW THE TRUTH!!! BACK TO YOU, WHY WOULD YOU SCREAM LIKE A MADMAN TO YOUR TEAMMATES?
SO'G: For one thing my former teammates don't know how to play defense. They defend like a bunch of pansies really, which annoys me. Another thing, not only do they suck on the defensive end but on offense as well. The idiots don't even know how to properly use a screen or pick, it's not like they are even good with iso plays. Seeing those things game in game out will eventually get to you until all you can do is scream at them or slap them in the face. Unfortunately I can't slap them in the face because I was under probation by the league for my previous behavior where I punched the referee and some lunatic fan so I just screamed at my stupid teammates all the time after that.
Stephen A. Smith: BUT THE FACT STILL REMAINS THAT YOU WERE ADDICTED TO SOMETHING AND ENTERED REHAB...
SO'G: ...yes but I was never convicted of a crime that's why NBA Commissioner David Stern allowed me to apply for the NBA Draft when he focused on the facts and ignored the rumors...
Stephen A. Smith: ...DOESN'T MATTER! I AM RIGHT, YOU ARE AN ADDICT AND YOU ADMITTED TO IT! STEPHEN A. SMITH IS NEVER WRONG! NOW, HOW ABOUT THAT MISDEMEANOR REPORT THAT STATED YOU HAD STOLEN TOYS, SET IT ON FIRE, AND YOU WERE FOUND DRUNK THE NEXT DAY AND CONFESSED TO WHAT YOU DID? A CRIME IS A CRIME! HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT DRUGGIE?
SO'G: I did not steal those toys. I bought those legally with some money that I found on some boxes and cans marked with a red cross or something. Since no one claimed it from me after 24 hours, I think that makes it mine then. And since the toys are legally mine, I have every right to set them on fire...
Stephen A. Smith: ...BUT THE PICKUP TRUCK WASN'T YOURS! THE TRUCK BURNED ALONG WITH THE TOYS!..
SO'G: ..true but the owner did not press any charges so I still didn't commit a crime. Last I heard - the owner, and I emphasize which I have never met before in my entire life, was paid handsomely by the insurance company for the damages to his truck. I think I did a good thing for him by burning his truck.
Stephen A. Smith: IF YOU ARE INNOCENT AS YOU CLAIM YOU ARE THEN WHY DID YOU GET A MISDEMEANOR CHARGED AGAINST YOU?
SO'G: The charge is actually for being drunk when it's not allowed to drink alcohol or be drunk during that certain hour when the police found me...
Stephen A. Smith: ...IN A PLAYPEN! CARE TO EXPLAIN THAT?!
SO'G: I always wanted to sleep in it the same way you would want to be deep a bathtub of Cheez Doodles.
Stephen A. Smith: HARD TO ARGUE WITH THAT LOGIC. *licks Cheez Doodles off five fingers* EXPLAIN NOW WHY YOU QUIT ON YOUR TEAM DURING YOUR LAST GAME OF THE SEASON IN YOUR LEAGUE? YOU CAN'T DENY THE VIDEO EVIDENCE!
SO'G: I never quit on games. Never. If I have to wear a pink tutu on the court to win so be it but like I said before, my teammates have the basketball IQ of cockroaches. They didn't give any effort at all on both ends. It's like they sold the game and shite. I left out of disgusts for them...
Stephen A. Smith: ...IT'S NOT MR. SMITH! IT'S STEPHEN A. SMITH. YOU BETTER GET THAT RIGHT IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT TO THE BIG LEAGUE! EXPLAIN NOW WHY...
SO'G: ...thanks for granting me this interview but I'm afraid that's all the time I have to give to you...
Stephen A. Smith: STEPHEN A. SMITH DID NOT REQUEST AN INTERVIEW WITH YOU. YOU FOOLED STEPHEN A. SMITH INTO GOING WITH YOU WHEN YOU TOLD HIM THAT YOU HAVE A CRATE OF CHEEZ DOODLES...
SO'G: ...did you enjoy the two bags or not? You could just return that one bag left if you're not satisfied with the interview and have any complaints...
Stephen A. Smith: ...NO NO. NOT AT ALL MY MAN. ALL IS GOOD. JUST MAKE SURE YOU BUY THEM NEW STOCK NEXT TIME. THESE ONES YOU GAVE ME HAVE CRUSHED CHEEZ DOODLES IN THEM. WHAT A WASTE OF PERFECT CHEEZ DOODLES I SAY.
Aside from his New York radio show, Stephen A. Smith also host another radio show on ESPN 710 in Los Angeles from 6-8 p.m. PT. Both shows concentrate on local sports with a concentration on the NBA on game nights as both stations are the flagships for the Knicks and Lakers, respectively.

No. haha. How did he go?
Sit wrote:Also... the way I like to play with Bogut is get him the ball in the paint. He will either pass to another open player or he will take the jumper if he has it, dunk, or back down on the defender and hook shot. Rarely I get him the ball outside of 8 feet from the hoop.
Does that sound like Vlade of the Kings?

A very good article indeed!
