"Best sports docuseries I've ever watched!" - That's high praise from co-host Tarlin Ray, and it's exactly what we're diving into on this episode of Running It Back. We're breaking down Netflix's "Court of Gold," the captivating documentary that takes you inside the Paris Olympics and the quest for basketball gold.   Relive the drama with Steph Curry's Olympic debut, Kevin Durant's pursuit of history, and LeBron James's behind the scenes presence as Team USA faces fierce competition from teams like Serbia, France, and Canada. We analyze Steve Kerr's coaching, the clash of big personalities, and the incredible access that puts you in the locker room and on the sidelines.   We'll also discuss the standout performances from players like Nikola Jokic, Evan Fournier, Nicolas Batum, and Bogdan Bogdanovic and more, plus debate the future of the NBA All-Star game. Is an international vs. USA format the answer? We're looking at you, Adam Silver.   If you loved "The Last Dance" or any great sports documentary, "Court of Gold" is a must-watch, and this podcast episode is your perfect companion.

The NBA is cannibalizing itself! Selfish greed has consumed the hearts of many, creating a chain reaction that has turned the league into the laughingstock of the professional sports world. On today's special episode of "Fearless," Jason takes a deep dive into the fall of the NBA. Jordan loyalists like Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith have built multimillion-dollar media careers criticizing LeBron James — yet LeBron is supposed to take the fall for the NBA's decline in relevance? At the same time, many misguided pundits blame the downfall of the NBA on truth-tellers like Charles Barkley and the rest of "Inside the NBA," claiming that the TNT crew is too hard on this generation of players. Barkley, on the other hand, blames ESPN for pushing a narrative that panders to the NBA's soft stance on load management and player empowerment. The league is a hot mess. There's an epidemic of finger-pointing as Adam Silver flounders, searching for a life raft to save this sinking ship. Steve Kim joins the show to weigh in on the current state of the NBA. How will the league survive, and can it ever return to its former glory? Meanwhile, Stephen A. Smith, who has built his career on the backs of pro athletes, has reached an agreement with ESPN on a five-year contract worth over $100 million. In the wake of this extension, LeBron James was seen confronting Smith courtside at the Knicks-Lakers game on Thursday night. Could the animosity between the media and players be reaching a breaking point? Switching over to the NFL, sack leader Trey Hendrickson has been approved by the Cincinnati Bengals to seek a trade. Maxx Crosby's massive contract could have something to do with Hendrickson's desire for an extension of his own. Wrapping up the show, everyone's favorite, Shemeka Michelle, discusses white women wearing braids and Rep. Jasmine Crockett's revealing transformation — from articulate enunciator to the Capitol Hill Crypt she is today. A thought-provoking episode of "Fearless" starts now!
