Ep 466 | Nikola Jokic’s Stardom Is a Problem for NBA, America | Charlie Kirk Speaks Truth to Pride

Nikola Jokic’s NBA Finals MVP and championship hit different — meaning they do not feel nearly as important as his predecessors' crowning achievements. That’s not intended as a knock on the Serbian superstar, who secured the Denver Nuggets’ first title Monday night. It’s a knock on the NBA and Nike’s 30-year global mission. Globalism diminishes and dilutes everything it touches. “Fearless” contributor, former NBA first-rounder, and anti-globalist Royce White joins Jason to discuss the league’s lack of passion under the growing influence of foreign-born superstars. Steve Kim drops in to add his perspective to the Jokic discussion. Plus, Jason and Steve break down the tape of Shannon Sharpe’s sobbing goodbye to Skip Bayless and “Undisputed” on Fox Sports. Shemeka Michelle joins the show to help us make sense of a topless trans model at Joe Biden’s White House Pride celebration and the audience's reaction to Denee Benton calling Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a KKK Grand Wizard at the Tony Awards. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk joins Jason to highlight the conservative’s victories during Pride Month and to share his thoughts on Donald Trump’s 37 felony indictments.
