In episode 15 of season 2 of Slingshot The Podcast, hosts Kadida Kenner and Charles Gregory discuss all things Philly NBA basketball – including King James and Jaylen Brown joining the Sixers, and why the “Brown is too smart for basketball” narrative is problematic (for agents).
Inspired by “The King of Rock” by Run-DMC’s iconic 1985 hit, we’re discussing what happens when sports, money, culture, and politics collide, and why athletes with a platform should not just “shut up and dribble.”
What We Unpack:
- Will more rings solidify King James as the G.O.A.T?
- LeBron James in Philly, and what his arrival could mean for the Sixers and the city of Philadelphia financially.
- Why Jaylen Brown’s education, intelligence and approach to his career challenges expectations placed on Black athletes.
- Mo’ne Davis and women’s professional baseball: Why seeing Black women succeed in sports can change what the next generation believes is possible.
