This is Prime Cuts! The best of The Colin Cowherd Podcast. First, Colin’s top take of the week on how the legendary ‘Air Jordan’ marketing campaign still shields Michael Jordan from criticism that all other athletes face.

Then, ESPN College Basketball Analyst Jay Bilas on the numerous hall of fame level college hoops coaches leaving the sport, why so many blue bloods programs are getting upset by relative unknowns, if John Calipari’s time at Kentucky has been a disappointment despite winning a national championship, if the current NIL system needs to be reigned in, what makes his relationship with Coach K so unique.

Then, longtime Bulls writer - and author of The Jordan Rules - Sam Smith the wave of criticism he received after releasing The Jordan Rules, how The Last Dance has only enhanced Jordan’s mythology, why Jordan has been largely out of the public spotlight in retirement, why he didn’t succeed as an NBA owner, and the MJ/LeBron G.O.A.T debate.
