Sports Talk: Basketball

In this episode, Erich Wenzel and Jordan Criss are joined by Jorge Martinez. We open the podcast with a new form of discussion that we haven't touched on much Sports and, for this episode, Basketball. While Erich is not a nuanced fan of sports in general, he has a deep interest in what it takes to become a top athlete, which drives this conversation for him. Jordan and Jorge provided detailed information to paint the picture. Naturally, the conversation turns to trying to compare Michael Jordan and Lebron James. Finally, we think about what’s coming down the lane for Basketball.
