Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with acclaimed TV creator and the king of NBA Twitter, Josiah Johnson. They discuss how Josiah was a Bruins ball boy with the 1995 NCAA title team and how his father (UCLA legend Marques Johnson) starred in White Men Can’t Jump. Josiah also shares hilarious stories about his playing career at UCLA, including LeBron stealing his locker, T.J. Cummings dating a member of Destiny’s Child, and why summer pickup games with Magic Johnson were infuriating. He talks about what went into the six-year process of creating Legends of Chamberlain Heights and where he was when the show finally aired on Comedy Central. He explains how he’s become such a successful Twitter personality and why his style is impossible to duplicate. Plus, he reveals what its been like to work with Ava DuVernay on a new Colin Kaepernick project for Netflix.
