The 7 Footers Basketball Podcast With Jarod & Jenna

Jarod and Jenna are back and they are joined by Memphis Grizzlies rising star Jaren Jackson Jr.

They get into how JJJ has been staying busy during the #COVID19 shutdown, his game, the confidence of the young Grizzlies, and what it's like playing with Ja Morant.

They dive into Jaren's fashion sense and his rap alter ego "Trip J".

Of course they couldn't let Jaren leave without a Top 5 discussion. As the son of a former NBA player, he has a unique perspective.

Jarod is joined by Christian Dawkins on this episode. Dawkins is the subject of the HBO Sports documentary "The Scheme."

Dawkins talks about how he found himself caught up in one of the largest criminal cases in sports history. Big time collegiate athletics is a multibillion dollar industrial complex and calling it amateurism is a sham created by the NCAA to fatten the pockets of certain people and not others. All that and more!
