Even when Nick Saban is playing basketball, he is in complete control.
No, seriously, he controls of every aspect of the game. From picking teams, calling fouls and even who guards the Alabama coach, he is the final word.
Saban invited ESPN's Marty Smith to the inner sanctum of the very exclusive noontime basketball game known simply as the N.B.A.
The game is well-known and documented. However, few details have been revealed. Back in 2013, AL.com reported on the game.
It started during Saban's time at LSU and continues today at Alabama.
In fact, he even invited Alabama basketball coach former NBA star Avery Johnson to the game.
