Summary

We are so psyched to welcome in Brooklyn Nets young star, Cam Thomas. This convo with Cam is just so fun and we're psyched to share this one with you all. Let's get to it. Topics include: JJ and Tommy talk about their excitement of the NBA In-Season Tournament and Cam Thomas' chances of winning Most Improved Player in a stacked group. They also talk about The Brooklyn Nets and their chances of making a significant playoff run. Then Cam joins the show to first talk about Boo Williams and AAU basketball, Cam's early entry into the NBA and how to "stay ready" when you don't know what you're role is on a night-to-night basis. Then Cam gets into what he's learned from Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving and how he's developed his irrational confidence. Cam also gets into is remarkable 3-point shot and where he needs to improve in his game. Finally the guys talk about Jacque Vaughn and how the Brooklyn Nets are growing as a team. This is a good one. Let's go!
