Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers seems like a good guy. How else can you explain him getting high profile job after high profile job? However, he has or will ruin everything we love about basketball and sports media! Let’s talk about how things started going downhill way back during his days of coaching the Orlando Magic. We’ll go over how each of his team’s featured figures has played prominent roles in coaching fiascos and the decline of sports media! As a bonus, I’ll give my thoughts on the Lakers hiring JJ Redick as their next head coach. Tap in!

Former NBA player Jabari Parker just finished his first season overseas. Why did a reporter’s question about it stop him in his tracks? Let’s talk about what happens when things do not go how you thought they would, why everyone who has played sports can relate, and why that isn’t necessarily a bad thing!

Then, as you may have noticed, I have been on a mini-hiatus. During my break, I attended the Black Sports Business Symposium in Atlanta. Let’s talk about what I did, what big names were there, and what I learned, ate, and drank!

Former NBA guard Austin Rivers’ comments about it being easier for NBA players to play football than it would be for NFL players to play basketball is the latest and loudest version of a debate that’s been raging on forever. As a former hooper myself, I have my own thoughts (and biases!) on the matter, but I set out to end the debate once and for all by putting together a football team comprised ENTIRELY of current NBA players. Tap in for the kind of reasoning and logic you’ve come to expect from yours truly and leave your own thoughts in the comments!

The Brandeis University athletic program finds itself in some hot water that has athletes threatening to leave. Let’s talk about why it’s the craziest scandal you haven’t heard of yet and why this school in particular should know better! 

Then, I’ve picked up on a pet peeve of mine from the NBA regular season that is slowly but surely creeping into postseason play too. What is it, where did it originate, and what does it have to do with the TV show “Survivor?”

A record-breaking NCAA Tournament that saw Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks cap off their undefeated season with a national title has many basketball fans going through hoops withdrawal, but WNBA season is right around the corner! The festivities kick off Monday, April 15th with the WNBA draft where you can see where some of March Madness’ biggest stars are going to spend their pro career. Kevin “KDot” Lewis of The 9450 stops by to talk about what we can expect come draft night!

KDot explains what exactly Kamilla Cardoso did during the Gamecocks’ title run to help her draft stock and where she can expect to go in the top 4. He also addresses why some are expecting Caitlin Clark to have an adjustment period to the pro game, whether history tells us that’s accurate, and how you can expect CC to contribute immediately to the Indiana Fever. 

We also talk about what makes Tennessee’s Rickea Jackson the best 2-way player in the draft. Kevin also breaks down Angel Reese’s game and tells me which WNBA coach he thinks can help her maximize her potential. KDot also goes over some overseas talent we need to get familiar with quick as well as some sleeper picks he thinks will be able to not only make a roster but contribute right away! This one is FULL of knowledge so tap in!

It comes as no surprise that Jose Tellez’s passion for sports is a lifelong endeavor. Born into a family of diehard sports fans, Tellez was encouraged to try any and every sport as he grew into a talented athlete. Eventually, soccer won out over all the rest, but a less-than-ideal college experience combined with a career-ending injury caused Jose to fight to hold onto the passion for the game he loved. 

Tellez redirected his love for the game into founding Golz TV where he works to platform content creators who love soccer like he does as they work together to make soccer cool in America! Tune in to hear Jose’s story as he talks about the importance of trying as many things as possible to find your passion, how devastating events can actually help guide you to your true calling, the journey he took to get Golz TV where it is today, and how he sees soccer growing in America! 

Also, we cover his Dallas Cowboys fandom, what our parents got wrong about video games, and why you should give soccer a chance! Tap in and hear all that and more as I get a chance to have yet another inspiring conversation with someone putting in the work out here in the sports media industry!
