Razor Sharp (Feat. Moses Moody)

There’s no stopping the Point Forward podcast in 2023, as co-hosts Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner head straight into timely topics ranging from the coverage of Dana White’s appalling behavior to the unprecedented scoring taking place in the NBA these days to, with Valentine’s Day sneaking up on us and Vince Staples’ commentary in the air, the value of gift giving. The conversation only gets deeper from there, as the co-hosts welcome Warriors guard MOSES MOODY to the show. Moody, who won a ring as a rookie with the Warriors last season, is a proud Arkansas Razorback who hails from Little Rock and shares emotional stories about his humble beginnings, theater research that brought him to trail a local judge, and how the hyper-intense hoops at Montverde Academy braced him for the NBA.

CREAM, Part 1 (Feat. Ty Jerome)

In the first Point Forward podcast of 2023, co-hosts Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner announce Andre’s return to action for the Golden State Warriors before talking about the value—or foolishness—of New Year’s Resolutions. Turner and Iguodala then debate Luka Doncic’s MVP candidacy, Ticketmaster’s chokehold on the ticketing game, and Rihanna’s CV. Then, the co-hosts welcome Warriors guard TY JEROME to the show and unveil their new concept, CREAM, in which they interview white (or white-looking) NBA players. Jerome, who has filled in for the injured Steph Curry, walks us through an amazing life story that bridges Manhattan, injuries, historic ups and downs at the University of Virginia, amicable partings with the OKC Thunder and Houston Rockets, and how his appearance and race has impacted him on the court. As for the term CREAM? You’ll figure it out once you start listening. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
