Almost a year into Michigan, I’m checking in—on life, sports, and the culture shifting in real time. From job hunting and sub teaching to being away from friends and questioning if I’d ever move back home, this episode starts personal before diving into the bigger conversations.
I break down Michael Jordan’s return to NBC, whether fans are being sold nostalgia, and if the NBA’s current stars really miss the game the way legends did. Is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on a generational GOAT path, and what does it actually take to dominate an era?
On the Pistons side, I talk Cade Cunningham’s next step, Detroit’s playoff ceiling, when it’s time to add an elite shooter, and the uncomfortable conversations around Jaden Ivey.
I close with Twitch’s most competitive year yet, the Streamer Awards reactions, controversial moments, and new music from A Boogie and DDG.
