Summary

NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton joins the show to give his side of the controversy with his alma mater. How did the maskless ban with Gonzaga — where his son was on the team — actually play out? Why does the Utah Jazz legend have such strong beliefs about the COVID jab? How does he feel about the way Kyrie Irving and Aaron Rodgers were portrayed for their decisions on the COVID injection? Is it true that his other son nearly got caught up in the war in Ukraine? How does Stockton’s Catholic faith influence the way he lives his life, on and off the court? Plus, in a teaser for Wednesday’s second interview, Stockton talks about the first time he saw Isiah Thomas play in high school. Note: The content of this video does not provide medical advice.

2:40.0	Well, I think the father time has a lot to say and that I don't know if I ever be able to answer that question because right now when I go play with my kids, it's it's ugly for me.
