Brian Scalabrine visits with Adrian Wojnarowski in the New York studio for the The Vertical Podcast with Woj.

With a lot of laughs, Scalabrine discusses the details around former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson dismissing him as an assistant, thinking he was going to die on a D-League road trip, the great Alonzo Mourning-Kenyon Martin practice fracas with the Nets and how former Nets executive Rod Thorn responded to Scal’s $15 million free-agent offer from the Boston Celtics.

In The Vertical Insider Segment, The Vertical contributor Nick DePaula – the preeminent sneaker reporter in the industry – joins Woj in studio to discuss the impact of the shoe industry on NBA transactions. DePaula also discusses the signature shoe deals of Kobe Bryant, James Harden and several league stars.
