26:32 - Craig and Anthony Played Instruments As Kids

Craig and Clinton Yates continue their conversation by unpacking the latest discourse surrounding Ja Morant’s new 3-point celebration, where he mimics throwing a grenade just weeks after being fined by the NBA for previous gun gestures. Clinton says if the NBA has a problem with certain gestures, they need to take a firm and consistent stance: “Ban the gestures if that’s the issue!” The two explore the league's messaging, the line between expression and responsibility, and how players respond to public and league scrutiny.

Craig is joined by ESPN’s Clinton Yates for his weekly visit, diving into Luka Doncic’s emotional return to Dallas after being traded to the Lakers. Yates still can’t believe the trade went through, calling it a “real miss by the NBA” and arguing it should’ve been vetoed. The two discuss the long-term impact of the deal, what it means for Dallas moving forward, and how the fanbase is coping with losing a generational superstar.
