Mohr Stories 565: Vlade Divac

NBA legend turned general manager Vlade Divac joins the show to talk about his journey from a small town in Serbia to basketball stardom, life in the Lakers spotlight, and what it’s really like making decisions as a GM (including his honest take on passing on Luka Dončić). The guys dive into the evolution of the modern NBA, the importance of team culture over stats, and why legends like Shaquille O’Neal would still dominate today. Plus, Vlade shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories like pranking teammates, to navigating politics back home, Hollywood cameos, and life after basketball.
