On this episode, we come to you from Complexcon. The yearly event of sneaker heads, hype best and culture connoisseurs, we had an invite to do a show in front of the Long Beach audience at the event.

We go in on the theme of coolness and culture as it applies to a basketball team. To get us to that point, we brought on long time hoop guru, coach and fashion head, Tracey Mills. Brother of NBA vet Chris Mills, Tracey came up on the LA hoop scene and goes way back with the young NBA phenom that was Gilbert Arenas.

We pick things up in the wake of KD’s comments about opting for the Nets over the Knicks, and that for young players, the Knicks simply aren’t cool. Of course there’s context to every comment, but we examine what makes a team cool, how you build a culture when there isn’t one and what it really all comes down to vision. Also, there’s the thing about ownership, because we all know money matters.
