Summary
NBA Champion Fred VanVleet joins the show this week! Fred & I.T. met back at Chris Paul's basketball camp in 2012 and have been good friends ever since. As a fellow small guard in the league, I.T. has mentored Fred over the years, and we're lucky enough to share some of the wisdom with you all this week. And of course we can't help but talk about UConn's dramatic buzzer beater over Duke from this past weekend, and how Cayden Boozer can get past his unfortunate mistake. The immediate aftermath also gave us a vintage Dan Hurley moment that had C.J. and I.T. cracking up. We finish out the show with the latest edition of No Days Off, which goes to the Bulls' Matas Buzelis this week.
