    Fascinating listen and some great insight from someone who witnessed the 'dwightmare' from the front row.

    It just further shows how much damage ESPN and Stan did to Dwight's reputation. It was somewhat funny at the time, but that scene with SVG was kind of cold of Stan's part, but I guess Dwight was trying to get him fired so...

    Interesting to note that Reddick also didn't think much of their roster that made the finals (echoing Dwight's feelings). He just worded it in a much nicer way. Also thinks Dwight should have been MVP the season that Rose won it.

    The story of Dwight telling his teammates he was opting in is pretty funny as well.

    Roughly..says Dwight was all in with them for 4 yrs, but then he wanted bigger market entering FA..understandable..thought he was being traded to Nets, said his goodbyes, but trade fell through, made it weird rest of season, then he got hurt and traded that offseason.


    Also said DH was ready to opt out that final year, but team started taking pics in an unofficial farewell kind of thing on their way to a game..dwight basically changed his mind bc of that moment and told them right then he was opting in instead.

    He also says that he thinks that Dwight is better than Kobe Bryant in every way possible

    Most likely he was talking about Dwight as a human being.
