Host Beto Duran welcomes Nathan Fenno and LZ Granderson to discuss a wide range of topics and people. Nathan starts the conversation with updates on Lynn Swann and USC before moving into the recent allegations surrounding high-profile attorney Michael Avenatti, NIKE, an Inglewood AAU team, and everything that comes with presence of big money in amateur sports. Then, LZ joins to discuss his recent story about the NZAA, replacing the C with a Z for Zion, another amateur athlete, who recently had a camera fixed on him the entire duration of an NCAA game. The tragic passing of LA rapper Nipsey Hussle has sent shockwaves through the local and hip hop communities, while also making a tremendous impact on athletes as well. We discuss how Nipsey was able to transcend his role as an artist into the lives of many athletes. Lastly, LeBron James' impact on Los Angeles (and vice versa) is discussed. All of these stories and discussions rise above the traditional X's and O's of sports discussions.
