The FADEAWAY podcast

On the season finale of The FADEAWAY, Amos Barshad is joined by The FADER's Alvin Akinti and Joseph Patel. The three discuss LeBron's beautiful near-miss dunk (1:56), JR Smith's permanently missing T-shirt (16:47), and Draymond's trash-talking technique (25:32). Then FreeDarko's Bethlehem Shoals calls in (27:05) to talk about the possible death of the basketball revolution and the long shadow of Michael Jordan.

On this bonus cut edition of The FADEAWAY, Vince Staples -- the smartest young rapper alive -- drops by the FADER offices to talk about the sad state of the Cavs (1:31), what Thunders benchwarmer Nick Collison has in common with a world-class bank robber (7:53), and how Donald Sterling isn't necessarily the most racist 80something white man alive (12:41). Also, if the Orlando Magic's Brandon Jennings is listening: Vince has a personal, expletive-laden message for you.

The FADER's Amos Barshad and Joseph Patel welcome the New York Times' Greg Howard. The three talk the sad demise of the hoverboard (5:45), the despair in Cleveland (17:52), and who on the Warriors you'd actually want to spend personal time with outside of work (23:55). They also pay homage to the icon, Allen Iverson, on the occasion of his 41st birthday (33:03) and call in to the Bay Area legend E-40 (39:03) to hear just how much fun this Warriors run has been from the inside.
