Summary

The Warriors expect Stephen Curry to return on Friday, followed by Klay Thompson on Sunday. Kevin Durant will be re-evaluated next week, while Draymond Green is day-to-day with a pelvic contusion. GSW will host the Atlanta Hawks Friday, and it doesn't get easier from there, with the Jazz continuing the Warriors homestand on Sunday. A few beatdowns of good teams would do the Dubs some good heading into the playoffs—particularly with the Rockets playing so well. The second and third segments are an interview with the CEO and CMO of the Historical Basketball League, Ricky Volante and Ralph Greene. The HBL has been founded in conjunction with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and expects to tip off in either 2019 or 2020. The summer league will provide players with a paycheck as well as endorsement opportunities in addition to 5-year scholarships. The wide-ranging conversation covers the falsehoods behind the amateurism model, why the HBL opted to partner with HBCUs, and just how it's all going to work. Further on, Ricky and Ralph go into detail about how it's unlikely the NCAA will be able to successfully retaliate against the HBL, and how current and former Warriors can get involved with the league as mentors and advisors.

0:56.4	off in either 2019 or 2020 for collegiate players to attend historically black colleges and
1:03.9	universities and play during the summer. It's called the HBO. It's going to be amazing. It's
