Special Preview - Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre - LeBron is the MVP Frontrunner, Bradley Beal Needs a New Home & the Lonzo Ball Conundrum
On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by paying homage to the 'Washed King' himself LeBron James. At age 36, LeBron continues to defy Father Time and is currently the odds on favorite to win his fourth NBA MVP award... and people are still looking for reasons to hate the man! What gives? Whether is sports media talking heads who claim that LeBron ruined the NBA with the Player Empowerment Era or former players like Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley who seem more worried about going viral than providing honest analysis, it seems folks are just unwilling to recognize greatness when its staring them right in the face. At the quarter pole of the season, it's clear that LeBron is the MVP. On the flip side, one NBA star who isn't having a great season is Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal. That's not to say that Beal is playing poorly (he's not), but his team stinks (again) and it's clearly starting to take a toll on him mentally. Beal should be the next All-Star to get traded, and don't be surprised to see the team that missed on the James Harden Sweepstakes swoop in and make a deal: The Philadelphia 76ers. Finally, news leaked on Tuesday that New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball is back on the trade block for the second time in 3 seasons. It sure has been a far fall from grace for the former #2 overall pick. Is it too soon to call Ball a bust? Would another change of scenery be enough to unlock the talent Daddy LaVar has raved about since he was in college? There's only one way to find out.
