Dan Majerle, former Cleveland Cavalier and current Phoenix Suns assistant coach. (NBA.com)
I had the chance to interview former Cleveland Cavalier and current Phoenix Suns assistant coach DAN MAJERLE when DSS was in Arizona covering spring training. Majerle played with the Cavs during the 1995-96 season, averaging 10.6 points and 3.7 rebounds a game. He is well-known for his play for the Phoenix Suns and played a total of 123 playoff games in his career.
“Thunder Dan” was known for his three point shooting but early in his career, it was his thunderous dunks that gave him his nickname. He also played on the US National Team in the 1994 FIBA World Championship, winning a gold medal.
We discussed him being booed when the Suns drafted him, converting from player to announcer and announcer to coach. We also hit on his most famous dunks growing up and also his movie debut and much more.
Also wanted to give a shoutout to Dan’s restaurant Majerle’s, which is located in downtown Phoenix.
