Legacy, Legacy, Legacy…. (Feat. Dwyane Wade)

Author: Andre Iguodala & Evan Turner August 26, 2022 Duration: 1:35:16
This week, Andre & Evan kick off the show with a spirited discussion of LeBron's newest contract extension and debate whether there should be an exception for the highest caliber players such that they can have salaries that aren't affected by the salary cap (1:00). Later they switch over to the FN Meka debacle and lament how Black culture is disrespected yet again (11:33). Our Guns & Butter segment this week focuses on the enormous success of Nike and how they have built a storytelling brand that has allowed itself to stay ahead of its competition for so long. And if Kyrie's contract with them doesn't get renewed, what should he do? (17:25). Finally, NBA Legend and current governor of the Utah Jazz Dwyane Wade joins the show to cover a wide range of topics. From his origins in Chicago and Robins Illinois to being an undervalued talent and growing his profile during his college career at Marquette. Later he takes a deep dive into his NBA career -- winning a championship early and the sacrifices (& hate) necessary for him, Lebron, and Chris Bosh to create the Big 3 era with the Miami Heat. DWade also talks about the modern player and gives high praise to Anthony Edwards. Looking ahead Wade discusses his current endeavors, including his position as an NBA governor of the Utah Jazz as well as the sheer joy he felt being honored by the NBA as one of the top 75 players in league history (32:27).
