Author: Carl Lee June 28, 2024 Duration: 59:01
On this week's Let's Talk, Carl is back in West Virginia after camps and golf in the thawed tundra of the north. Hollis rejoins him for a dynamic episode where they discuss the legacies of the recently passed Willie Mays and Jerry West. The pair question whether West is commemorated enough in his home state beyond Morgantown and ponder his broader recognition. They also dive into a comparison of the WNBA and NBA, the excitement of the NBA finals, and the intriguing dynamics of "Daddyball" with LeBron and Bronny James and its impact on the NBA draft. Additionally, Carl and Hollis explore AAU and other national and travel sports leagues, examining what they get right, what they get wrong, and what athletes and their parents need to be aware of. Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends sports history with contemporary analysis and practical advice for youth athletes.

Tune in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for new episodes of Let's Talk with Carl Lee, a space where the lines between the game, the culture around it, and the society we live in are all part of the same essential conversation. Hosted by former NFL All-Pro Carl Lee, this podcast moves beyond simple sports commentary. Alongside co-hosts Lisa Otey and Hollis Lewis, Carl facilitates a dialogue that is as insightful as it is direct, drawing from his own experiences to examine leadership, personal growth, and the broader social issues often reflected in the world of athletics. You'll hear discussions that are grounded in real perspective, where a debate about a team's strategy might naturally lead to a deeper exploration of community influence or educational values. For a different kind of weekly engagement, the conversation also airs every Sunday afternoon at 1:06 PM on 580 WCHS. This isn't just analysis; it's a thoughtful, unfiltered look at how sports and culture continuously shape our lives, making each episode a unique blend of reflection and candid talk.
