Basketball is steadily becoming an even bigger global game, and as the sport expands and captivates a larger audience sometimes the nuances get lost. Monica is a former Georgetown baller who wants her audience to be reminded of why they love this game. King is a Baylor alum who had NBA potential, but health issues caused him to change plans. Both Monica and King are analysts for ESPN and their shared experiences and chemistry will provide listeners with a fun and informative experience. Come for the love of the game stay for the buckets.
Mark Jones of ESPN/ABC has covered Michael Jordan since the Bulls' first championship "Three Peat" in the early 1990s. His reports on ESPN were prominently featured in the first two installments of "The Last Dance." Mark's sharp memory and attention to detail give his stories a great deal of perspective as he shares them with Monica and Bruce. Mark shares his "a ha" moment when he realized that MJ was the GOAT and his vivid descriptions are typical of this master story teller. The Ron Harper/MJ story at 17:12 is an absolute classic ... and Harp came out on top! At 22:30 Mark reflects on the bizarre way the dynasty ended. Since Mark has worked with every NBA analyst on ESPN and ABC, at 24:30 we played a lightning round/word association game and had some major laughs.
