It’s the episode where the gloves come off. In Part 2 of The Hood Report QB series, Rod, Martin (Tweety), Leon, and Que drop their Top 5 quarterbacks (#5–#1) heading into the 2026–27 season not just based on last year, but body of work + projection.

LeBron won’t be here forever so the real question is, who takes the crown next? In this episode of The Hood Report, Rod and the crew debate who is ready to become the face of the NBA if LeBron retired today. Is it SGA with the consistency and clutch scoring?
