Former NBA player and All the Smoke host Matt Barnes joins Joy Taylor on Two Personal for a raw, honest, and emotional conversation about fatherhood, controversy, media narratives, and what it means to be a “villain” in today’s NBA — especially when you're not one in real life.

 Topics discussed:

Why Angel Reese vs Caitlin Clark isn’t a rivalry — it’s a storyline built by contrast

How social media and fake outrage culture destroy nuance

Raising young men in today’s internet-fueled chaos

The burden of being hated for being visible

Why LeBron James is the greatest superstar in sports history

The loss of real rivalries in the NBA

And the myth of separating sports from politics

Matt opens up about what it’s like to be misunderstood, parenting in the public eye, and the emotional toll of being labeled a villain when you’re just trying to live right.

 This is one of the most important conversations you’ll hear all year — it’s funny, emotional, real, and unapologetic.
