Episode Synopsis

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.
