The Professor on AND1, Meeting Adam Sandler & Why He Never Made the NBA

The Professor (Grayson Boucher) joins Spout to talk with Tamara Dhia about his full-circle return to AND1, his new role as Director of Talent, and what he's looking for in the next generation of streetball stars. He also opens up about the question he's been asked throughout his career: Why didn't he make the NBA?
