Description
As the nation reels again from yet another shooting of an unarmed African-American man, the NBA players still playing in Orlando made another statement -- by choosing not to play. Chris Miller, Chase Hughes, Wes Hall and Quinton Mayo start this podcast by sharing their thoughts on the latest act of violence - and how the NBA continues to lead the sports world in civil protest. When the discussion turns to basketball, the guys discuss Chase's story about potential suitors this off-season for Davis Bertans - and whether or not the Wizards should re-sign the sharp shooter. From there, the talk turns to the Wizards biggest needs heading into free agency, and of course, the NBA Draft -- as several players have already caught the eye of the Wizards Talk Podcast crew.. Chase somehow even manages to tell a funny joke... No, really. It's ACTUALLY funny.
