Episode Details

Garrett Temple, the undrafted NBA veteran known for his quiet leadership and veteran presence, is officially stepping into his next chapter as an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks — a move that feels like a perfect fit for a player who spent his career mentoring, not just scoring. After averaging under 11 minutes per game for the last four seasons and putting up modest stats (just under 6 PPG), Temple’s real value was in his wisdom, resilience, and ability to guide younger players. A four-year standout at LSU and son of Collis Temple Jr., the first Black player in Tigers history, Garrett’s journey from bench player to bench coach is a testament to his deep love for the game and his knack for teaching.
