Larry Johnson on UNLV vs. NCAA, Grandmama, Hornets and Knicks | ALL THE SMOKE

On today's episode of ALL THE SMOKE, the legendary Larry Johnson shares incredible stories in front of a sold out NYC crowd.

Johnson looks back on his time as one of the faces of college basketball at UNLV. He reflects on the Runnin' Rebels blowout win over Duke in the 1990 NCAA Championship and winning the Naismith College Player of the Year in 1991. But it wasn't all glory during his time at UNLV. NCAA probes against the UNLV players and coaches were constant. Johnson opens up on what was really going on in Vegas.

Plus, LJ reflects on his time in NBA. He speaks on his legendary 4-point play with the Knicks, the iconic 'Grandmama' Converse commercials, fighting Alonzo Mourning and more.
