Host Chris Walder (@WalderSports) invites John Chick (@roofthatpeach), an NBA news editor for theScore mobile app and formally of CBC Sports, onto the program. The two discuss what it's like covering basketball during a pandemic when news wasn't constantly emerging (3:35), John's thoughts on the NBA returning to action in Orlando (5:24), whether he sees a lack of representation from women and people of color in the sports media industry (9:30), his recent piece on the 35th anniversary of the Air India bombing and how it connects to world events today (13:32), and if the NBA could be doing more to support the Black Lives Matter movement (17:49). John also provides some in-depth analysis on the 22-year career of Vince Carter and what it will be most remembered for (19:53), which Carter moment or play stands out to him (23:19), if he thinks it's a slam dunk that Carter will get into the Basketball Hall of Fame (24:46), and if Carter should be the first Toronto Raptor to have his number retired by the organization (28:32). And in his final rapid-fire questioning, John tells the story behind his infamous Instagram videos featuring his husky, his thoughts on the Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate, what makes Hong Kong so great, his future using TikTok, if he has better hair than Gordon Bombay, and much more.
