About this episode

We are so psyched to welcome one of our favorite players, Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder. In this episode, we first dive deep into the James Harden trade and what it means for The Philadelphia 76ers and The Los Angeles Clippers. Then Jalen joins us and we have an incredible convo. Topics include: The Oklahoma City Thunder's sudden high expectations, what Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is really like as a teammate and how SGA grows each year, Chet Holmgren's competitive edge, battling against Victor Wembanyama, an incredible story about talking trash to Mark Daigneault before he became head coach, the Team USA experience, how Jalen is growing this offseason, being under recruited in high school, what he felt when he was drafted by The Thunder, how he feels about Oklahoma City as a place and much more.
