House of Strauss HoS Pod: Wosny Lambre, Nate Jones
We welcome back Big Wos and Nate Jones, two of my favorites in the NBA business/culture space. Today we discuss a range of hot button issues, including this forbidden zone that is the Andrew Wiggins situation.
* Air fryers? A perfect life hack or a monstrosity?
* Wos “Žižek” Lambre on why sports ceasing to care about fans is, indeed, capitalism
* Wos with a take on the cringe/fake way LeBron becoming an owner would be advertised as representationism
* Nate speaks on how the surrounding NBA organizational pressure is why players miss games that fans want them in
* We get into the Andrew Wiggins situation with the Warriors. What expectations are fair and under what circumstances?
* Are the NCAA women’s players more famous now than the men’s players?
* Nate with a theory on how the NCAA women overtook the men
* We get into how NIL changed the women’s game
* Is the selling of sex appeal a problem for the NCAA? Or a benefit to those sports?
* The “hoop dollar” vs. the “horny dollar”
* Nate talks about what recruiting athletes for NIL is like.
