    The original host of NBA Inside Stuff...
    That show was 🔥 on those early Saturday mornings back in the 90's.
    Plus MJ is his homie so it made Ahmad that much cooler.

    Ahmad is a LEGEND. I'm 38 years old and I've been a fan of his long before I saw My teenage years. Same goes for the other two gentlemen

    Life is to short to carry a beef between friends; amazing what can happen if people just talk it out.
