Former NBA player Rex Chapman discussed his career, including his playing years with the Hornets and the Heat, as well as his interaction with various teams and players. He noted how painful it was to be traded but saw it as an opportunity to move to an established NBA franchise. However, injuries constantly plagued him, including when he came down on Dennis Rodman's foot, severely dislocating his ankle, which required surgery. He also signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns, where he eventually broke a playoff record by making nine three-point shots in one game, a record that lasted for 20 years. The clip culminated in Chapman discussing his groundbreaking endorsement deal with AND1 and how the shoes may have contributed to his foot injuries and resulting opioid addiction.
