After all the dust has settled with NBA free agency, Colin gives you his Top 10 NBA Teams. The Los Angeles Lakers new team makes for a great movie poster but the movie itself might be lacking with so many specialists. The NFL world is constantly shifting towards a safer environment overall for all players expect Running Backs. Kawhi Leonard's basketball career hasn't been as weird and nontraditional as you may think, and The Dallas Cowboys need to understand that Dak Prescott is a good not great Quarterback but deserves the money for keeping you relevant.

Guest: Nick Wright

Colin has great appreciation for LeBron James's ability to adapt his game not only to evolve with the league but pivot to a point guard role for the Los Angeles Lakers and it's a perfect fit. Most of us aren't born with super star talent but don't be discouraged because even though LeBron hit the stage like a meteor out of high school, Kawhi Leonard was slowly developing himself into one of the greatest basketball players. Enough of these conspiracy theories stating that the MLB Baseballs are being juiced and tampered with until you can show me proof.
