Narrative vs. Performance in Rookie Awards

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock is joined by Paul Burkhardt and Jay Skapinac to analyze why LeBron James could excel as Luka Dončić’s side piece and why the consensus is growing that LeBron is no longer the king of the Lakers. The panel then examines two Duke grads who are now rookies in the NBA — Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel — and compares them. Whitlock argues that Flagg is uninteresting and Knueppel could be the league’s best rookie. He also declares that he’s buying the Detroit Pistons, as the team is 13-2 so far on the season. Whitlock then unpacks the details surrounding Patrick Beverley being charged with felony assault after being accused of punching his 15-year-old sister and squeezing her neck, as well as sports media’s reaction to the news. Shaun King joins the show to discuss all things Sanders: Deion claiming he’s “the right man” for the University of Colorado coaching job; Deion saying he knew Shedeur was going to play for the Cleveland Browns and that his son is “built for adversity”; and Stephen A. Smith implying that Browns coach Kevin Stefanski didn’t properly prepare Shedeur. They also discuss Tulane coach Jon Sumrall saying his team is “average” and that the players sometimes embarrass themselves. High-caliber show today — don’t miss it!
