Cuttino Mobley joins All The Smoke for a wide-ranging conversation on life, hoops, and purpose. He talks about growing up in Philly around Kobe and Rasheed Wallace, getting drafted by Houston, and learning the game alongside legends like Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and Scottie Pippen. Mobley also shares stories about his tight bond with Steve Francis, mentoring Yao Ming, and why he always carried Pippen and Eddie Jones’ trading cards in his wallet. He opens up about being forced to retire due to a misdiagnosed heart condition and shares unfiltered thoughts on why 90% of youth basketball coaches are doing it wrong. From NBA battles to spiritual growth, this episode is full of insight and heart. #AllTheSmokeProductions #NBA #AllTheSmoke #kobebryant #cuttinomobley #houstonrockets #stevefrancis #hakeemolajuwon #charlesbarkley #scottiepippen
