9-year NBA vet and MAC legend, Gary Trent Sr., joins Kris and Marques Johnson on Hear District, breaking down his son's path to the NBA, his first year in Milwaukee, how Doc Rivers recruited Gary Trent Jr. to the Bucks, and why the 3-guard lineup featuring GTJ dominated last season. But first, they discuss Trent Sr.'s difficult upbringing, how that shaped his professional life and how he found basketball. They dive into his NBA career, the shooting tips he imparted on Trent Jr. from playing with Dirk Nowitzki and when he knew Gary Jr. had what it takes to make it. Finally, Marques & Kris discuss a Top 10 Bucks of All-Time List curated by Bucks Twitter, and the new age of celebrity GMs running college basketball programs.
