Ep 872 | Cooper Flagg Is the KEY to Fixing the NBA | LeBron James Got BEEF

How can the NBA be fixed? Is the All-Star Game the problem, or is it just a symptom of a much bigger issue? The game needs to be fixed domestically rather than prioritizing this globalist agenda. Former ESPN broadcaster and sportswriter Bill Simmons brainstorms creative ways to get the NBA back on its feet. Jason expands on the conversation by arguing that the NBA should do everything in its power to keep freshman phenom Duke basketball star Cooper Flagg in college for as long as possible. Whitlock believes in the college blueprint — professional prospects should build a following in college and continue to develop their craft. Then, once they make the leap to the pros, they will be more polished players while also bringing a huge fan base with them. While the NBA faces major issues, the WNBA, on the other hand, is growing at an alarming rate — to the point where the league is considering freedom from the NBA’s destructive narrative. The league that subsidized the WNBA's debt on a yearly basis has essentially been given the finger. In other sports news, the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off championship between Canada and the USA is on Thursday, and the hype surrounding this game couldn't be greater. It could very well be the most viewed hockey match in a decade. Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on all these topics, as well as Serena Williams’ strange attention stunt, Anthony Edwards not wanting to be the face of the league, LeBron James’ beef with Doug Gottlieb, and Shedeur Sanders dropping a new song. Wrapping up the show is our very own "Fearless" first lady, Shemeka Michelle, who addresses Trevor Noah’s call for segregation. We have a great show planned. Tune in!
