With the new NBA and college basketball season approaching there are plenty of things discussed during the show. First the creation of LLC advertising companies that universities wish to create in order to retain athletes as the NCAA is allowing them to now get paid off their brand. Lebron was voted by ESPN not the best player in the NBA currently and the backlash of a bold statement like that. PJ Washington is a cautionary tail for athletes and anyone with high status and Shout to Bobby Jackson and the Kings for winning the summer league, and is Jalen Green the real deal? The coaches also talk about the reclassify topic that has become a cornerstone in AAU basketball culture.
