Summary

Can death transform “what was” into a perceived “what is”? Jason argues that this can be seen in how Kobe Bryant is now considered in the conversation for the NBA's greatest of all time. To illustrate this point, he highlights how Nike is leveraging Caitlin Clark's popularity to promote adoration for Kobe. Paul Shirley and Steve Kim share their thoughts on Kobe’s rightful place among NBA greats. The trio also discuss whether Dawn Staley would leave the revered position she holds in Columbia, South Carolina, to face the scrutiny that comes with being an NBA coach in New York City, as well as why Malik Beasley would risk his NBA career for gambling gains. Shemeka Michelle joins Jason and Paul to emphasize Angel Reese's growth as a player, demonstrating how criticism, when taken constructively, can lead to improvement. Amazing show today!
