Special Preview - Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre - NBA Skill Level is Better Than Ever, Tebow Hangs Up His Cleats + Former NBA veteran Cuttino Mobley

On today's episode, Jason kicks things with some quick thoughts on Wednesday night's NBA action. Have you noticed how offensively skilled guys are these days? Damian Lillard scored another clutch bucket to cement himself as a legitimate MVP contender; Steph Curry drilled a step back three in overtime to salt away the Warriors' 4th win in 5 games; even guys like Damontas Sabonis and Davis Bertans dropped 35+. Please don't take the shotmaking of today's NBA for granted. Later, Jason tells us why even though Tim Tebow ultimately failed in his quest of becoming a MLB player, he deserves praise for even having the courage to try. In a world where the masses are looking for any reason to tear you down, Tebow served as a constant reminder that it's okay to follow your dreams - no matter how farfetched they may seem. Finally, former NBA shooting guard Cuttino Mobley swings by to discuss why it was so hard to make an All-Star team as a guard in the Western Conference during his playing career, what it was like playing for the Houston Rockets during the early stages of Yao Ming's career, how he believes he would've fared playing in today's NBA and why he refused to disparage the style of play nowadays, why he believes adding a legitimate center is the key to the Brooklyn Nets making an NBA title run, why he believes Kevin Durant is the greatest scorer of all-time, why he believes that Michael Jordan had a little bit of luck during his championship runs of the 90s, why he has LeBron James as the greatest basketball player ever, the reason why Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers have been able to fly under the radar a bit so far this season, how a kid of Philadelphia ended up getting recruited to play his college ball at Rhode Island, and much more!Click here to subscribe and download all of the latest Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre podcasts!
