Who will be the face of the NBA when LeBron James retires? On this episode,  AK discuss the NBA's international takeover and the undeniable impact of players like Nikola Jokic, Giannis, Luka, and Victor Wembenayama. We compare the top five American players to their international counterparts and speculate about the future of the league.

Guaranteed contracts and learning from the OG's are crucial in shaping the future of the NBA. We examine the pressures faced by young players like Zion Williamson and Ja Morant, and how they can benefit from the wisdom of Charles, Shaq, and many other NBA legends. Additionally, we delve into the tragic shooting at the Houston lounge, Tabu, emphasizing the importance of being conscious of the potential consequences of going out.

Finally, we explore the potential for one of the biggest boxing matches in recent history between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. and discuss how conspiracies like the Rothwell Project and the JFK assassination have affected America's trust in the government. Tune in for this captivating conversation!
