Ep 403 | Ja Morant & Jalen Rose Hustle Softball Interview | NBA Prioritizes Content over Competition

from Fearless with Jason Whitlock · host Blaze Podcast Network

Following a string of incidents that ended with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant flashing a gun in a Denver strip club, the NBA sent the young star in for counseling. Three days later, he emerged a changed man and sat down with the most venerable sports journalist of our time, ESPN’s Jalen Rose, to document his three-day transformation. Jason and most of the sports world aren’t buying it. “How is this not a scripted movie? Ja Morant is all better now. In a 12-day whirlwind, Morant dropped $50K at a strip club, flashed a gun, got a Reiki and Tantra massage in Florida, sat down with Adam Silver and Jalen Rose, and now he’s ready to play basketball again.” The NBA has sacrificed competition on the court for content on social media; Morant is just the latest example. “It’s a content league. It’s a league dedicated to feeding ESPN, Fox Sports, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook content. It’s a league built on gossip, opinion, and narrative. It’s a league with no respect for competition or integrity.” “Fearless” contributors T.J. Moe, Royce White, and Steve Kim join the show to discuss Morant’s crime-to-riches comeback story.
