As Thompson struggled to recollect the names of players who are the same age as he is while Jackie Long mentions Kenny Brunner. Brunner, a basketball coach now, was a former basketball player. He too was a SoCal legend and an ABA All-Star in 2006. The NBA starlets failed to remember Brunner and said, ?That might have been in the 80s or like 82?.?
As an insult to injury, PG asked Jackie if Bruner played with Allen Iverson. Jeering and laughing, the players taunted Long for reminding them of the ?80s. The 44-year-old Kenny Brunner got roasted on the podcast for being old news. Jackie Long goes on to elaborate that he sometimes forgets how much younger George and Thompson are because ?y?all look old as hell.?
