Summary

This week on Knuckleheads we got an Auburn legend and one of our good partners, Marquis Daniels. Marquis joins Q and D to talk about coming up in Florida, going to Mt. Zion Academy for his senior year in high school and how he had no plans to go to college until Auburn saw him hoop and came calling. Marquis talks about his run with the Tigers in the tournament, going undrafted, and eventually signing with the Mavs. He looks back on Dallas’s 2006 Finals appearance and what it was like playing with the Big 3 in Boston, and talks about coaching now at his alma mater.
