Summary

Jason Whitlock opens this episode of “Fearless” with guests Steve Kim, Paul Burkhardt, and Jay Skapinac discussing the NBA on NBC and how Michael Jordan disappointed in his NBC broadcasting debut. They also talk about the pressures on Kevin Durant, how the all-black commentary crew is a mistake, and how the Houston Rockets impressed in their close 125-124 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kim is joined by guest T.J. Moe to analyze a melodramatic tweet from Shedeur Sanders that reads like MLK’s "Letter from Birmingham Jail." They also discuss the latest NFL news, including Sean Payton's alleged bullying of Russell Wilson, Woody Johnson's criticism of Justin Fields, and the Raiders' need to trade Maxx Crosby, as well as Snoop Dogg releasing a song that promotes the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle to children.
