Mike Dunleavy Jr. (he never did pick up a decent, shorter, moniker, did he? I remember SLAM trying to brand him "Lil Dun") was on JJ's podcast. It's a couple of weeks old but I didn't see another link for it in the forum and it is definitely worth a listen:

Highlights for me include:
-JJ playfully blaming Mike for not being around to mentor him which led to his first two years of college partying
-Their food discussion
One thing I have to say about JJ, he is definitely unabashed about discussing his avocations - watch collecting, foodie-ism, wine, his hair etc. Now, I am sure plenty of guys in the NBA are into food, wine and watches - we are talking about rich dudes - but I don't think as many are as forthcoming. I find it hilarious, and I am not sure why, but I like that he does it because it steers the convos away from lame cliches.
Overall, Mike comes across like a sage old pro, and he says he's not nearly ready to hang them up. He is excited to join the defending champs and is unabashed about end-of-the-line ring chasing.
