The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 214: NBA Rundown #RyeHighRemix

Today on The Ave Podcast, I’m joined by Jan-Michael Nation (Ryerson University Hall of Famer & Alumnist) & by HC of UPLAY AAU program & Founder of Skills Refinement Group O’Neil Kamaka as we run through some of the NBA’s recent storylines. We discuss LeBron James chase of the NBA Scoring record & if it changes our perception of him; If Nikola Jokic deserves to achieve an MVP 3-Peat; & the rest of the MVP contenders. Plus we share if Phoenix needs to retool their team; why the hell is the scoring so high this season; and we discuss Fred VanVleet’s recent contract issue, and if him & the Raptors should divorce each other; plus a lot more than that. All praises due to the Rye High University Spirit (once you listen to the episode, it will make sense).
