Speaking on the latest episode of the All The Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson, Mobley reflected on his time with Yao in Houston and expressed that the 7-foot-6 center was more than just a dominant post scorer. “What people don’t understand about Yao. He could pass the ball, like Joker, he could've done that,” Mobley said. “It’s just the offense didn’t. Say we would’ve had Rick Adelman, for a fact, you would’ve seen more of Yao Ming. Like that Chris Webber, that Vlade Divac, Brad Miller type of passing. He had all of it.”
Brad Miller right now, what would you tell the young Brad Miller before he gets his career started?" Brad Miller: "Don't drink so much. Focus a little bit more. Man, imagine another level I could’ve got to. Alright, alright—don’t drink so much." "For the young bigs out there, I think you’ve got to maximize the potential God gave you. There are so many players that think, 'Well, I'm not as athletic,' or 'I'm not this,' or 'I'm not that.' But I love what Jokic is doing. And you said something cool—you said IQ can play in any era."
Brad Miller on guarding Shaquille O’Neal: ‘He swung at me in my third year. Mike Bibby: I don't think he was trying to hit you, his arm was this long and his fist is this big, ain't no way. Brad Miller: He just barely touched my hair, like the slightest turning and... So that's how me and Shaq relationship started but no, it got to be like, I'd say like the third year, when I was playing with the Pacers, that's when I was like ‘I’m ready to start pick and popping’, like ‘if I'm having to guard his ass here, I'm going to take his ass out out here’. I got to a point luckily, I felt confident where I could hold him up, his little elbow spin offensive foul… I just had to pull his ass out and then he was done guarding me he was like so tired.’

Have you witnessed anything in the locker rooms in the past that, if they happened now would probably go viral? Sam Amick: Bonzi Wells was once very upset with me, and grabbed my arm as I entered practice because he wanted me to go talk to Brad Miller about a story I wrote that he didn't agree with. It was nothing violent, but it was inappropriate and he was very upset. If there was a video, it would have made the rounds.
