Show Notes
Who is the GOAT of basketball? One of the evergreen sports debates that will rage on into eternity. However, with the tragic death of the Black Mamba himself, Kobe Bryant's legacy seems to be overshadowing LeBron James'. Jason, joined by basketball analytics YouTuber Skap Attack, discusses whether Kobe Bryant was a better basketball player than LeBron. What is valued more: MVPs, championships, or team success? Are there any blemishes on their careers? In other news, the NFL draft is almost a month away, and Steve Kim and Jason talk about rising and falling draft stock. Shedeur Sanders' stock seems to be in a free fall. Many question whether he has what it takes to be a locker-room leader in the NFL. A recent interview with executive producer/NFL analyst Greg Cosell explains that there are some other QBs in this draft class who are worth taking a closer look. Does the NFL have a diversity problem? Jarrett Allen thinks it does. He alleges that there aren't enough black coordinators and therefore not enough black coaches. Matthew Stafford trade rumors? Will the NFL try to replace tackle football with flag football in the future? A lot of questions and a lot of answers. A jam-packed sports show you don't want to miss.
