Travis Murphy’s work background is a fascinating one, and one that you may not realize is a key component of the sports industry behind the scenes. Before starting his company Jetr Global Sport + Entertainment, he previously served as the senior director of international government affairs for the National Basketball Association. In that role, he helped thousands of NBA, WNBA, 2K, G League, and Basketball Africa League teams, players, staff and their families navigate the complicated world of global travel. He also managed the NBA’s relationships with the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, and other government institutions, working with those government partners to create sustainable basketball initiatives both domestically and abroad. In that regard, he also played a key role in the release of Brittney Griner from her detainment in Russia in 2022. Murphy has extensive international experience, having served as a diplomat in the United States Foreign Service, working at embassies in Ecuador, Suriname and Cote d’Ivoire to name a few. And he also served in Washington, D.C., in the Sports Diplomacy Division of the Department of State. All of that background puts him in a unique position to advocate for policy changes in Washington around issues of immigration that stand to have large impacts on some of the largest events headed to the United States. In just one area — but one with outsized importance — the issue of wait times for visitors to get an appointment for a visa to visit the United States is raising some serious alarms. In Colombia, for example, there is nearly a two-year wait time to get one of those appointments, meaning if you are a traveler hoping to watch the Colombian team at the 2026 World Cup, you’re already too late. In this conversation, we talk about why those waits are so long in so many countries around the world and what our industry can be doing to help reduce those times. We also talk about the impact a new administration in Washington will have on the ability for spectators to easily come for international events and how the broader national discussion on immigration policy in general could impact that ability as well. It’s a deep dive into some serious but important topics that will have lasting implications on the willingness of event organizers overseas to consider the United States as a host to their events in the years to come.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My guest for Episode #293 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Spencer Jones, a rookie forward with the Denver Nuggets and a Stanford University graduate, where he earned a degree in Management Science and Engineering. Episode page with links and more He averaged 11 points per game over five standout years at Stanford, leading the Pac-12 in three-point shooting as a freshman and graduating as Stanford's all-time leader in three-pointers. Before college, Spencer also secured three high school state championships in Kansas. While his professional basketball career with the Denver Nuggets keeps him on the court, Spencer's ambitions stretch far beyond the game. Passionate about the intersections of sports, health, and technology, he is actively building his brand in the health tech space, leveraging his platform as an athlete to explore innovation and make an impact off the court. In this episode, Spencer shares his journey from high school state championships to becoming Stanford's all-time leader in three-pointers and his transition to the pros. Spencer opens up about his favorite mistake: hesitating to embrace the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities during his college years due to concerns about balancing individual branding with team dynamics. Reflecting on how this hesitation caused him to miss out on valuable opportunities early in his college career, Spencer explains how he learned to navigate those challenges and is now focused on capitalizing on his NBA platform while staying grounded in his basketball priorities. Throughout the episode, we discuss Spencer's experiences balancing academics, athletics, and building a brand, including how his Management Science and Engineering degree from Stanford shaped his interest in the intersections of health, technology, and business. Spencer also offers insights into the evolving dynamics of NIL, the challenges of team equity, and the impact of the transfer portal. We explore his presence on LinkedIn as a platform for connecting with alumni and businesses, his passion for investments and startups, and how watching NBA superstar Steph Curry train influenced his own work ethic. Spencer's reflections provide valuable lessons on resilience, legacy building, and preparing for life after sports. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? Can you explain NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) and the opportunities it offers athletes? How did NIL impact team dynamics, and what was it like balancing individual and team priorities? Did you consider transferring to another school, especially with the new transfer rules? What lessons did you learn about balancing academics and athletics at Stanford? Why did you choose Management Science and Engineering as your major? What impact did being in Silicon Valley have on your development, connections, and career opportunities? How much interest is there among players in investing, startups, and business ventures beyond basketball? What kind of resources does the NBA or players' associations provide to help players prepare for their futures? How does the G League (formerly D League) fit into player development for someone in your position? What factors went into your decision to sign with the Denver Nuggets, especially as a two-way player? How do you approach balancing short-term versus long-term decisions in your basketball and business career? What led you to build a presence on LinkedIn, and how has that platform benefited you? What advice do you have for other athletes about building their brand and preparing for life after sports? How do you manage the pressure of potential mistakes in high-visibility situations like an NBA game?
The UVA Basketball team, which has lost its last five, and is 1-6 in the ACC, gets Boston College, which has lost its last four, and is 1-6 in the ACC, in JPJ on Tuesday night. The only reason this one is on TV – ACC Network, 7 p.m. ET – is because every game is on TV in this day and age. True story: my wife gave up her season tickets this season (we might have anticipated … something), so she buys single-games each time out. The gamble: that she'd get ‘em cheaper than what we'd pay for the season tickets plus VAF donation. The price for her tickets in the 300s for this one: 80 cents each. Even with fees, she's out eight bucks for two tickets. My, how the mighty have fallen. Still, I feel worse for the BC folks, because that program has had three winning seasons since cutting bait with Al Skinner (247-165 in 13 seasons there) way back in 2010. Earl Grant got the Eagles into the NIT last season, but he lost Quinten Post to the G League, Claudell Harris to Mississippi State, Jaeden Zackery to Clemson, Devin McGlockton to Vanderbilt, and Prince Aligbe to Seton Hall. Boston College is 9-9. Its one ACC win is Miami, 78-68 at home back on Jan.1. Let me feel bad for one more guy: Dan Bonner is on the call for ACCN for this one. Dan deserves better.

The Milwaukee Bucks continued their losing streak to top Eastern Conference foes, falling to 0-8 vs the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics following a blowout loss on Sunday afternoon that saw the Knicks hang 140 on Milwaukee in a rout. The Bucks had no answers for Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns for most of the game, and tried multiple defenders on each of them. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed how hapless Milwaukee looked and what, if anything, the Bucks should've done differently in the game before examining the needs on the roster, and wondering if Chris Livingston could help after he had a dominant G League performance in a Wisconsin Herd win on the same day. Can the Bucks carry both Bobby Portis and Brook Lopez into the postseason given their poor matchup vs some of the top teams, and how necessary is another center option? They also discussed how Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard can play better, including trying a new free throw routine and staying aggressive throughout the game.

In one of the biggest matchups of their season so far, the Rockets will face the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference. The Rockets currently have a half-game lead on the Grizzlies, and with a win, will earn a full 1.5-game lead and hold a 2-0 record in an important tiebreaker. "It'll be a good test for us," head coach Ime Udoka said. The Rockets are coming off a dominant 135-112 victory over the Washington Wizards to begin their three-game road trip. The starting lineup got off to a slow start, being down 10 points in the first quarter, but Jalen Green scored 22 of his 29 points in the third quarter, putting the game out of reach for the Wizards. "We definitely looked a little sluggish coming out of the gate," Udoka said. Green and Alperen Sengun continue to be the offensive leaders for the Rockets, even with more teams keying in on their play and altering their attacks. Sengun is "one of the best scoring big men in the league... We love the open shots he creates for us," Udoka said. The Rockets have secured strong wins even with injuries affecting their rotation. Jabari Smith Jr. is out with a left metacarpal fracture, and Tari Eason has been dealing with lower left leg soreness that required surgery last March. Eason has missed 10 straight games. "We want to be smart with it," Udoka said. "He's trending in the right direction." With players recovering from injury, Cam Whitmore has stepped up after a slow start to his sophomore season, recording 17 points in 18 minutes against the Wizards. Following his return from a brief assignment to the G League, Whitmore appeared displeased with his role on the team when speaking to the media after a win over the Dallas Mavericks. However, Udoka combats speculation concerning Whitmore's attitude. "People are making a little bit too much out of nothing." Rookie Reed Sheppard was assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Monday and scored 49 points on 17-for-33 shooting in his debut Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Blue. According to Udoka, Sheppard won't stay in the G League for long. "He'll be back with us when we play Memphis at home [on January 13]."

Gil's Arena Breaks Down LeBron's Laker Return & The NBA Cup Semi Finals as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew return to the Arena and react to another jam packed weekend in the NBA. They kick things off in the Bay Area by reacting to the Golden State Warriors facing off with Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks for the 2nd time this season, where Klay cooked his former team and the Mavs put the league on notice as perhaps the biggest threat to the OKC Thunder in the Western Conference. They also break down the historic impact of this game as the Warriors & Mavs combined for the most 3 pointers in NBA History and discuss how Steph Curry and his shooting prowess have turned the NBA into a league full of chuckers. They also react to the Warriors making a trade for Dennis Schroder and debate if this trade moves the needle for a Warriors squad begging for more talent to surround Steph Curry and Draymond Green. Next, they break down LeBron James' return to the lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers where the King carried the Lake Show to a much needed victory following his mysterious absense before reacting to the young king Bronny James delivering his best performance as a pro with a 30 piece in the G League. Finally Gil and the Crew break down the NBA Cup Semi-Finals where the OKC Thunder and Milwaukee Bucks advanced to the Finals, setting up a massive test for both teams looking to prove themselves in the NBA Playoff race.
