The 7 Footers Basketball Podcast With Jarod & Jenna

Jarod and Jenna are back and they are joined by their friends Bryan Fonseca and Dexter Henry of the Ain't Hard to Tell Podcast. The NBA Bubble is working. There hasn't been a positive COVID test in two weeks. The NBA might actually finish its season.

The owners are "broke", Knicks have their new head coach in Tom Thibodeau and the on-court play has looked really good. Lakers and Clippers still look like they are on a collision course out west and the east will be so good with four viable contenders.

Plus, they discuss current era players vs. all-time greats and how we should be evaluating basketball. All that and more!

Jarod and Jenna are back and the NBA bubble is here. Players and teams have arrived and training camp has begun. Who's looking good, who is rusty AF?

Some players are still trickling in, some have tested positive, and some have decided not to join the restart. 

They finish the show on a light note, getting off jokes about players' extracurricular activities in the bubble and who is "flying in work"....

The NCAA says it will adopt new name, image and likeness rules for athletes starting 2021-22. That's a loaded statement and it doesn't mean what you think it does.

Victoria Jackson, Assistant Professor at Arizona State University, and Andy Schwarz co-founder of The Professional Collegiate League and a sports economist join Jarod to discuss.

How does the NCAA economic system work? Who benefits? Who gets exploited? Will athletes get paid from their name, image, and likeness? All that and more!
