Fred VanVleet on being coached by Jerry Stackhouse in G League: Me and Stack almost got the rumbling in that [expletive]. The next day he called me in the office because you gotta think, bro, he got me doing the joint. The whole team got to shoot the free throw. However many free throws you miss, we doing suicides! TA, suicides, bro. Tony Allen: But it's funny to me. I know his character. He just so serious. VanVleet: He's so serious when you talking to him. But me and him had a relationship forever off of just the strength of like I'mma deal with you right here anyway.

But I'm like, "You going to have to whoop me cuz no game." So Stack, he'll knuckle up with you. So that part was cool. But it took me probably two or three weeks.
