13 JUL 2020 · Editor in Chief for Silver Screen and Roll Harrison Faigen joins me for a supersized conversation on Laker Central. DeSean Jackson and Stephen Jackson made anti-Semitic comments about Jewish Americans. Malcolm Jenkins offered his opinion, which he further clarified after it was received the wrong way. Harrison is Jewish, and I am Black, so we decided to have a candid conversation about racism and anti-Semitism during the first hour of the show.
The final hour is on a lighter note. We discuss how great LeBron James has been, Anthony Davis staying in Los Angeles, and winning a championship for Kobe Bryant.
The entire conversation is excellent. I encourage everyone to listen to it in its entirety.

15 JUN 2020 · Kyrie Irving led over 80 players who participated in a conference call Friday night. Concerns raised include everything from racial equality to health. The NBA has said they will not punish players who wish to sit out, but some players are adamant their voice hasn't been heard. Players such as Carmelo Anthony of the Portland Trailblazers, Dwight Howard of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz spoke up as well.
Resuming basketball is not an easy decision for players. Each player has their own family to consider as well as the broader issues with racial inequality. The Lakers Jared Dudley and Rockets Austin Rivers have shown support in resuming basketball and using that platform to fight against racial issues and police brutality.
Vinay and I (Alex) are going to breakdown the latest news and share our opinions.
