The NBA Finals are under way between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers; however, the spotlight has shifted to the conflict between Stephen A. Smith and superstar Tyrese Haliburton. Additionally, a Barrett Media article has emerged urging companies to emulate Stephen A. Smith if they want to achieve success. Jason Whitlock will deconstruct what is happening at ESPN and explain why it is considered the "misleader" in sports. He suggests that ESPN's connection to hip-hop music is a primary reason for its decline, which has contributed to the ongoing tension. ESPN has also highlighted topics such as Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark and LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan, creating drama rather than delivering sports news as it should. Later in the show, Steve Kim will join to discuss Chris Simms and his quarterback rankings. Dak Prescott's mental well-being reportedly hinges on winning a championship this year, while Jalen Hurts seeks advice from Derek Jeter and Michael Jordan on how to secure consecutive championship wins.

Reflect on a time when you struggled to forgive someone who wronged you. What steps could you take to move toward forgiveness, and how might this transformation impact your leadership and personal growth? In our conversation, Don emphasized that great athletes "hate to lose more than they love to win" while taking complete ownership of their results. How do you currently respond to failure or setbacks? What specific changes could you make to embrace radical ownership while maintaining a healthy competitive drive? We discussed how the best leaders and athletes understand their success depends on who they surround themselves with. Evaluate your current "inner circle" - both professionally and personally. Who elevates you, and where might you need to make changes to better support your goals and values? Don highlighted the importance of celebrating "great teammate behaviors" rather than just individual achievements. What specific actions could you implement in your team or organization to recognize and reward those who make others better? The concept of "coaching beyond the scoreboard" was central to our discussion. What does this mean to you personally?

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss freshly sourced rumors that the Chicago Bulls will not keep Coby White and Josh Giddey, but only one of them. Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm reported in his Substack that multiple Eastern Conference personnel figures believe the Bulls are “unlikely to retain both Josh Giddey and Coby White.” Assuming the Bulls sign Giddey to a long term contract in a few weeks, what does that mean for White? Will the Bulls shop him this summer, or perhaps keep him until the 2026 in-season trade deadline? What will Arturas Karnisovas seek in return if he does decide to move on from Coby? Peck, Big Dave and Will Gottlieb break down all the possibilities. Plus, the guys debate whether “The Shrug” is the most iconic Bulls moment - or even the most iconic NBA moment - on the Anniversary of Michael Jordan going bananas from downtown in the 1992 NBA Finals.

George Mumford is a highly sought-after mindfulness and performance coach, renowned for his transformative work with elite athletes—including legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. As the author of "Unlocked" and "The Mindful Athlete: Secrets to Pure Performance," George blends wisdom, curiosity, compassion, and selfless service to unlock the divine spark in every human being. With a captivating personal story that spans addiction recovery, close friendships with icons such as Julius Erving (Dr. J), and decades of coaching at the championship level, George’s teachings have changed countless lives both on and off the court. Takeaways Pure Performance Is About Presence: The highest level of achievement, or "pure performance," is found when you perform an activity solely for the love and authenticity of the moment—expressing your true self rather than focusing on external outcomes. Unlocking Potential Requires Letting Go: Growth and progress come from giving yourself permission to make mistakes, learning from them, and then letting them go so you can move forward—true freedom comes from self-acceptance and self-regulation. Leadership Is Empowerment: Great leaders, like Michael Jordan after working with George, learn to meet people where they are, inspire them to grow, and give others a meaningful say in the mission, shifting from control to collective ownership. Sound Bites “Elite performers are unlocked by their hunger for growth—the willingness to embrace discomfort and uncertainty is what propels them to the next level.” “Creating space between stimulus and response is the heart of emotional intelligence; it unlocks the freedom to choose your attitude and actions.” “You don’t need to be perfect to make progress—mistakes are just feedback. The key is to make the next play and stay present.” Quote from Mick: “Unlocked has changed my life. It’s literally a book that I reference at least three to four times a week... we have unlocked sessions where we talk through things as a group and as a team—because what one person is struggling with is probably something someone else is going through.” Connect & Discover George: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/george.mumford/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-mumford/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=george%20mumford Website: https://georgemumford.com/ Book: Unlocked: Embrace Your Greatness, Find the Flow, Discover Success FOLLOW MICK ON:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mickunplugged LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/Website: https://www.mickhuntofficial.com Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
