Show Notes
Day 2 of All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis and our Oddballs are freezing! In the final game before All-Star break, Klay Thompson came off the bench against the Jazz - the first time since his rookie year in 2012… and he put up a season-high 35 points to lead the Warriors to their eighth win in 10 games. Amin and Charlotte let it be know - the Warriors aren't done just yet! Meanwhile, Amin and Charlotte explain why P.J. Tucker being fined $75k for expressing his desire to be traded from the Clippers is not gonna help matters for the frustrated veteran. Oh, and All-Star Saturday Night is gonna be packed with excitement so Amin & Charlotte have their picks in for who will win the events. Plus, Amin and Charlotte are thrilled to chat with Khaman Maluach – an incredible 7’2’’, 17-year-old prospect from South Sudan who is a growing success story for the NBA's Basketball Without Borders and the NBA Academy Africa. Khaman shares on Oddball how his experience has been as he's being recruited to play for the Kansas Jayhawks, Kentucky Wildcats, and Duke Blue Devils; his incredible development with the NBA Academy Africa leading him to be the youngest player to compete in the FIBA World Cup and how he's taking in the 2024 All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis on his way to being a future NBA All-Star himself.
