Training Camp, NCAA vs. California, Dame Lillard vs. Shaq
The NBA season is about to begin and CJ is back in Portland for training camp and media day. He explains the ins and outs of camp and what teams are doing to prepare for the upcoming season. Plus, the state of California struck a huge blow to the NCAA by passing a first-in-the-nation law that will let college athletes hire agents and make money from endorsements. The guys discuss whether this is good or bad for the college sports and why we could be seeing more states pass similar legislation. Finally, Damian Lillard and Shaq have been trading barbs on the microphone and the guys decide who won their rap battle.
