The NBA offseason is in full swing with big time trades and big name players coming and going. Maybe the biggest news of the offseason is the Lakers getting new ownership. What does that mean for LeBron's future with the team?
Speaking of Bron, he made headlines a few weeks ago talking about how ring culture is ruining sports. Of course, when LeBron speaks you're either going to hate it or love it.

There's some really good basketball being played every night in the NBA. I give my thoughts on what I've seen so far, a few teams you may be sleeping on, and how I feel about the Clippers getting James Harden.
Meanwhile in football, I weigh in on one of the most recent hot topics in the NFL world - is Josh Allen an elite quarterback?

In this episode, I take a quick break from talking football to focus on the upcoming NBA season. A lot went down in the offseason. Big-time players switched teams in hopes of winning a championship, the NBA is trying to increase fan interest in the regular season by passing new rules and creating a whole new tournament, and we learned that the...2023-10-191h 18Sports & The Real Sh*tDAK PRESCOTT & BROCK BURDY - THE MEDIA CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIMWelcome back to another episode of the Sports & Real Sh*t Podcast.
In this episode, I get into the hot topics from week 5 of the NFL season. The biggest game on the schedule was the Dallas Cowboys vs. the San Francisco 49ers, which means all eyes are focused on just two players - Dak Prescott and Brock Purdy.
Unfortunately, that's what football has become, a two-man game. Nothing else seems to matter.

Football season is getting active. But before we get back to our regularly scheduled programming, I had to give my thoughts on the NBA with Damian Lillard getting traded and the Boston Celtics getting Jrue Holliday. Getting back to football, I recap what happened in week 5 in the NFL and week 6 in college. Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes take another "L" at the hands of USC and the Caleb Williams hype is going off the rails.

While everyone's excited about the return of football season, nothing has drawn more attention and excitement than Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. A team that went 1-11 in 2022 already has three wins in 2023. But not everyone is happy about the attention that Colorado is receiving. Some folks are jealous that their team isn't getting that kind of attention while others are just flat-out haters. Regardless of the reason, Deion...2023-09-2551 min

The last part of that quote is often overlooked or looked down upon. Even though the topic of mental health has become less taboo, there's still a certain level of stigma that follows those who choose to "take care of their mentals".

The NFL propaganda machine is at it again. This time running backs are the victim. The prevailing thought among fans and media is that NFL teams should not pay elite running backs top dollar because they can easily find a replacement. Not only that, you don't even need a running back to win anyway, so there is no need to spend on one.
In this episode, I discuss why NFL running backs are being robbed and what can be done about it. I wonder why every franchise...2023-08-0358 minSports & The Real Sh*tAKEELAH AND HER CHEEKS - KEKE PALMER, CATFISHED BY A CASUAL & NUTRITION MYTHSWelcome back to Sports & The Real Sh*t.

I also go into detail about why I believe basketball in the USA is at risk of losing its place as the best in the world.

The NBA season is over, but that doesn't mean the conversation stops. In this episode, I give my thoughts on the NBA Finals and discuss why the Nuggets have the best 1-2 punch in the NBA which sets them up for long-term success. I also discuss why the Suns shouldn't have fired Monty Williams, why Jimmy Butler is miscast, and how other NBA teams can copy the Nuggets to win championships.

The adversity we faced as a community in Haiti and the U.S. stifled many young athletes' potential.

Before we get there, I take a look back at how the conference finals match-ups went down. The Celtics kept up their inconsistent, dumb, analytics ball and it came back to haunt them against a well-coached and disciplined Heat team. Meanwhile, the Nuggets were just the better team and dominated the Lakers.

And although he led the Chicago Bulls to 55 wins in 1994, finished 3rd in MVP voting, and won the NBA All-Star Game MVP, the part that sticks out about the season for most fans is the fact that he wouldn't enter the last seconds of a playoff game because Phil Jackson drew up the game-winning shot for Toni Kukoc instead...2023-05-2937 minSports & The Real Sh*tD-ROSE VS.
