Today's episode is all about that one thing we haven't been able to get away from: the NBA's in-season tournament. We're breaking down what it all really is about and even diving into some betting odds around in-season tournament MVPs and winners. Then, the one and only Matt Barnes just us for a special sit down. And one thing is for sure, this man doesn't back down from a damn thing. From navigating the league as a journeyman, to finding his voice on the Clippers - amidst the circus led by former GM, Donald Sterling - to landing a long-awaited NBA Championship and now, owning his role as a father to three young boys.
It's a good time to sit down and take some notes.
