About this episode
Chris Paul elevated the New Orleans Hornets, making the franchise relevant during uncertain times—should his jersey be the first ever retired by the Pelicans? Jake Madison explores Chris Paul’s profound impact on New Orleans basketball, from near-MVP seasons and unforgettable playoff moments to his off-court leadership that anchored the team amid relocation rumors. Is it time for the Pelicans to finally honor their greatest player? The episode also breaks down a potential NBA expansion draft: who should New Orleans protect—would Zion Williamson be safe, and what tough decisions loom for the current roster? Plus, there’s a recap of the Rising Stars Game with standout showings from Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen, and a spotlight on Trey Murphy III’s new leadership role with the NBA Players Association.
