The Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei

Raining threes, throwing down tomahawk dunks and swatting weakness…our guest on this episode of Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Lauren Gunn. Gunn is a credentialed NBA media reporter who covers the Dallas Mavericks. She also does some writing for SB Nations "Mavs Moneyball" . Gunn is a co-host of the @The Gunnshot Podcast with her brother Grant Gunn @Gunn_Grant.

We will talk with Lauren about the Mavericks season thus far and what it will take to make a run in the playoffs. We will discuss superstar Luca Doncic's impact on the team and why the NCAA tournament is a better product than the NBA playoffs. Finally, she will look into her crystal ball and make some predictions for us on how she sees the 2021-22 season finishing. For our We just gotta know" segment she will share with us her most memorable moments as a credentialed NBA writer.

Think you can GM? Huh! We got together a handful of guys who are "GM wanna-bes" and mocked out the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft. Some picks were solid and some picks, were head scratchers. The best part about it was that it's the same way in the NFL. Check out our picks as your's truly moderates this event -filled adventure into the world of mock drafting. ===========================

This week's guest on the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei is Martina Kwan. Born in Hong Kong to a German mother and Chinese father, Martina Kwan was destined for a life that was different. She spent her childhood in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, but credits living in war torn Beirut, Lebanon between the ages of 8-10, as an experience that defined much of her fearlessness today. After earning two Master of Science degrees, she worked in the male dominated finance and accounting fields in New York City with KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Wall Street's Lehman Brothers.She has won Telly and Emmy awards with the first company she founded, So! Animation. Daring to be different is what drives Martina today...literally! Three years ago, at the age of 50, Martina knew it was time to take a car racing hobby she occasionally enjoyed to the next level. Proving that it's never too late, she decided to become a race car driver. Since her debut as the world's only Female Chinese/European race car driver just four years ago, Martina has become a 3-time champion in a male-dominated racing category in her Porsche 911. She set track records in each of her Porsche car classes, and has won first place for the majority of each of the past 3 years she has driven. In addition, she drove semi-professionally in the Blancpain GT World Challenge where she podiumed twice in 7 races. She is a Champion Mindset Coach helping women reach their potential and attract high paying clients. In addition, she is the Co-Founder of the World's First Racing School DK Racing School, co-founded by a Male and Female FIA Licensed Race Car Driver, Dement and Kwan.

We will talk with Martina about her life growing up including the lessons she learned from Beirut. How she transitioned from Wall Street to being an Entrepreneur. What got her interested in racing cars and why she decided to start her own racing school. Her goals in helping others realize their self value. For the "We Just Gotta know" segment we will have Martina what kept her focused during those times that she transitioned in life.

Joel Hunt's favorite saying is, "Tough times don't last, tough people do," and Hunt certainly fits the bill for a tough person. After serving three tours of duty in Iraq as an explosive-ordnance disposal technician, Hunt was medically retired from the Army in October 2007 with a partially paralyzed left leg and a traumatic brain injury that left him dealing with memory loss, headaches, dizzy spells and double vision. Upon returning home with severely limited mobility, he grew depressed. In December 2008, Hunt's parents forced him to go to a ski camp for veterans with Traumatic Brain Injuries, and for the first time in a long time, Hunt felt like he was good at something. Hunt has earned top-10 finishes in national competition within three years of that ski camp. He earned two top-20 finishes in world cup competition and made his debut in the Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi.Currently, Joel is the founder and director of Military Broadcast Radio (MBR).

We will talk with Joel about his time spent during his three tours of duty in Iraq. What his setbacks did in his approach to life thereafter and who was instrumental in giving him support to get back on his feet and move on in life. Joel will share his experiences of being part of the paralympic ski team and competing in Sochi 2014. We will also have him talk about his Military Broadcast Radio, in which he is the President and Founder of. For our "We Just Gotta Know" segment Joel will talk about three events that have shaped his life.

You can find Joel on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook @ The H Train Show

You can also listen to The H Train Podcast anywhere you listen to your favorite podcasts

On this episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei I invited some new blood to join in the post Super Bowl chatter and look at how we can fix the league with one move for each team (or at least try to). We discuss Top Plays, Performers, Unsung Heros and of course plays that could or did change the outcome. Next we look at each division and each team from within to try and piece together quickly, a plan that will increase their chance of leaving this season behind and being a viable competitor next year. Oh The QB roulette is addressed. Many are without, some are unhappy with and about half are staying put. Dissecting that one was a challenge but I feel we made some valid discoveries. We wrap things up with ranking the performers from the halftime show, it was a real treat !!! Our guests included: Mike Neubeiser- Instagram Terry Young - Instagram and Twitter Shawn "The Sound Guy" Antkowiak- Facebook ===========================

On this episode of the Original Sports Podcast with Mark Maradei we tackle the issue of race in the NFL. The clouded views and hiring practices with rules in place. The "Good Ole Boy" Network continues to hire who they want without necessarily giving the best candidates a shot at success. The facts are there, just read between the lines. While speaking of questionable practices we discuss the Baseball Hall of Fame voting and why guys with gawdy numbers won't get in yet they vote in guys who have contested the rules with PEDs and were welcomed. Finally I share my views on some Top 10's in related to Super Bowl Sunday. Best Games, Players, Halftime Performers and of course SNACKS. ===========================
