Patriot Games (Feat. James White)

Patriot Games (Feat. James White)

Author: Andre Iguodala & Evan Turner February 10, 2023 Duration: 1:30:27
In episode 16 of the Point Forward podcast, the last show before a brief NBA All-Star Break bye week, co-hosts and best friends ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER are back in Boston to talk with their friend, three-time Super Bowl Champion with the Patriots, JAMES WHITE. But before breaking bread with James, the hosts go deep on the wildest NBA trade deadline in League history. And this isn’t idle talk from “insiders” who don’t actually know what’s going on; this is real talk from longtime NBA players who have lived it. Listen and learn. Then, after touching on the Grammys and Tom Brady’s retirement, the hosts talk to one of TB12’s most accomplished teammates. James White was named to the Patriots’ All-Decade team for the 2010s after an eight-year career that saw him win three Super Bowls, most prominently number LI when he scored 20 points himself during the Pats’ historic comeback over the Falcons. The hosts relive all of this with their humble guest, plus add in some thoughtful conversation around race and business in a perfectly timed episode for Super Bowl Weekend.  Learn more about your ad choices.
