Shai's dad: "Everybody's human and everybody's equal. Yeah Shai plays basketball, he's amazing but that doesn't mean he's better than anybody as a human being. What makes him a better human being is how he acts off the court. And that's what I'm more proud of"

Flashback to the 2014 FBI raid on the Biological Resource Center in Arizona that was being used as a human meat market. Human body parts were being sold. Stephen Gore was convicted but knowing what we know now, was he just part of a much bigger group?

J.R. Smith opens up about what it really meant when LeBron James vouched for him to join the Cavs. Not just as a player, as a person. He talks about how media narratives and past coaches had painted him a certain way, leaving him feeling misunderstood for years. LeBron, arguably the greatest player ever, choosing to stand behind his character meant more to him than any basketball endorsement ever could. “It wasn’t even about the basketball… it was him vouching for me as a person”
