NBA Champion & ESPN Analyst Richard Jefferson joins the Courtside Club! We are diving into one of the wildest NBA storylines we’ve seen in years: the ongoing NBA gambling scandal that’s rocking the league. RJ reacts to new breaking news from Shams Charania, talks about how gambling culture has evolved around the game, and even draws parallels to the point-shaving scandal that hit Arizona back when he was growing up. RJ takes us through the teams that have impressed him, the players every fan should be paying attention to, and why he still believes Victor Wembanyama would go #1 overall even over rookie-year LeBron James. He breaks down Wemby’s ceiling, his development curve, and what makes him one of the most special talents the game has ever seen. RJ also opens up about his longtime friendship with LeBron James, sharing what their relationship is really like away from the cameras. Plus how things have changed now that he’s in the media space himself. He talks about Kendrick Perkins losing friends because of the job, getting pulled into the Stephen A. vs. LeBron debate, and the pressure that comes with being outspoken in today’s NBA media landscape. We also dive deep into the WNBA lockout situation, why Caitlin Clark is having a Magic Johnson level impact on women’s basketball, and how the league can keep building momentum. RJ even offers his ideas on fixing the NBA All-Star Game, which celebrities should headline the Celebrity All-Star Game, and how he’s looking to bring back his own fan-favorite project, The Richard Show.Subscribe to #CourtsideClub now 👏: Spotify 🔗: https://spoti.fi/3QyFchC Apple 🔗: https://apple.co/3QyFqoY INSTAGRAM 📸: http://instagram.com/rademita/ TIKTOK 📹: https://www.tiktok.com/@rademita TWITTER 💬: https://twitter.com/RADeMita Hosted on Acast.
