In this clip, Richard Dumas detailed what it was like playing on the Phoenix Suns alongside Charles Barkley and their dynamic as teammates. He spoke about the team making it to the NBA Finals where they faced off against the eventual champion Chicago Bulls, spearheaded by the GOAT, Michael Jordan.
Later, Richard talked about the psychological battles he had with himself throughout his playing career and the mental issues he dealt with that were, ironically enough, triggered by his job as a pro-basketball player. To take the edge off before games, Dumas revealed that he drank a 6-pack of beer prior to tip-off.
