On today’s episode, Jason discusses Carmelo Anthony’s controversial comments suggesting that Jayson Tatum doesn’t have the ‘aura’ to be the Face of the NBA, how Tatum’s career compares to Anthony Edwards’ thus far, which players have held the Face of the NBA title since 2000 and how much pressure is on upstarts like Ja Morant and Zion Williamson to fulfill their promise as American-born superstars. Finally, J-Mac closes the show by explaining why he has no problem with the NBA dumping TNT’s Inside the NBA in favor of the new streaming package from Amazon.
