On this week's episode we assembled a crew that you just need to hear to believe: the legendary Bomani Jones, comedian Stavros Halkias, and Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans. The crew discusses NBA topics such as who can be the face of the league and the changing of the guard with young superstars, what changes need to be made to the league, if any, the state of NBA media, the 82-game season, and much more. They also discuss just as many non-NBA related topics such as the worst purchases they've ever made, the different aspects of comedy, how the internet and our usage of the internet has changed over the years, and more. Like we said, you need to hear it to believe it. Let's go!
