About this episode

On today's episode, 3x NBA champion, sports agent and media personality BJ Armstrong swings by for an extended conversation with Jason to discuss the New York Knicks decision to trade for his client Derrick Rose and his potential fit on a young up-and-coming roster, why he's so impressed by the bounce-back year Steph Curry is having thus far, why the removal of the hand-check rule is arguably the most impactful rule change in NBA history, how European basketball has evolved to become even more physical than the NBA, why he hates comparing eras of basketball given that the style of play changes so drastically every decade, why he believes LeBron James longevity - not necessarily his physical abilities - is what really sets him apart historically, why he's still not ready to put LeBron ahead of Michael Jordan in the GOAT conversation, why historically great big men like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain could easily dominate in today's NBA the same way they did during their time, how the global popularity of basketball has helped change the way the game is played in today's NBA, and much more!
