Joe and Jada

On this episode of The Real Report, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda sit down with former NBA forward Tim Thomas for a wild and insightful conversation about basketball, hip-hop, and growing up in New Jersey. Tim breaks down how the parks and street ball culture shaped his unique game, being ahead of his time as a stretch forward, and how the NBA has changed with more three-point shooting, European-style play, and NIL money influencing young athletes. The guys get into Tim’s memories playing AAU with Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter, his time as teammates with LeBron James, and stories from Rucker Park, including playing alongside Fat Joe during the era of G-Unit vs Terror Squad. Tim also talks about growing up in Paterson during the crack era, his relationship with Stephon Marbury, and building the Tim Thomas Playaz program to help the next generation reach college and the league. Plus, the crew debates whether Jalen Brunson or Carmelo Anthony has had the better New York Knicks career.
