This is one of the League's greatest unknown stories.

For those who haven't lived it, many believe making it to the NBA is the hardest part, but it's not - staying in the league is harder.

Bobby starts his basketball career in his home city of Compton, where he played on one of the greatest high school basketball teams of all time, alongside the most coveted draft prospect in Tyson Chandler - Dominguez High School. 

After transferring schools during his junior year of high school due to controversy from the team's coach, Bobby had to learn how to cope with change early on.  During the college recruiting process, Bobby decided to stay on the west coast. Bobby goes into detail on how the September 11th attacks actually affected his college decision, pushing him away from selecting Boston College to play alongside Craig Smith and Jared Dudley.

Deciding on Washington, Bobby played alongside basketball greats Brandon Roy and Nate Robinson. He was a 4-year starter, proving his talent enough to get drafted into the NBA.

We also talk about Bobby and Craig's time on Team USA, winning the gold medal.  Bobby's rookie year was spent with the Philadelphia 76ers. His sophomore year was when things went crazy.

Bobby spent his second and final year in the NBA playing for an NBA record 5 teams. Starting with the Denver Nuggets, Bobby then went to the Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat, and finally to the San Antonio Spurs.

This has us talk about the struggle of staying in the league and what it takes. We also break down the mental health effects of 10-day contracts and constantly fighting for your life to stay on a roster.

We then talk about Bobby's overseas experiences, his filmmaking journey, and what he is up to now.
