Summary

On this week’s episode of ‘The Young Man and the Three’ we welcome Norm Powell of the Los Angeles Clippers and Cam Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets. Cam opens the episode by brainstorming with Tommy different ways to fix and help all-star weekend going forward. After, Norm begins with discussing his basketball beginnings in South California and attending UCLA, the difficulties he dealt with in his college career, and more. He then opens up about his time on the Toronto Raptors, including defeating Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, Kawhi Leonard’s game-winner against the Philadelphia 76ers in the playoffs, what he learned from Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan, resisting a roster that had himself, Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siam, and OG Anunoby, and why he was upset that the Raptors traded him. He later shares what he learned about him himself from his time on the Portland Trailblazers, how James Harden is as a teammate, what he meant by his “addition by subtraction” quote about Paul George, and what has led to his jump in play and career year. Let’s go!
