Show Notes
On this Friday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page, we open with a historic night in the NBA as LeBron James records his first triple-double of the season and becomes the oldest player in league history to do so. Jason asks the big question: Will we ever truly appreciate LeBron’s greatness while he’s still playing?
Part 2 of The Big Story focuses on the NBA cracking down on tanking. Is this the moment where Adam Silver steps up and takes meaningful action against teams intentionally losing games?
Sam Yarnell joins the show as we shift to Major League Baseball’s announcement regarding the ABS (Automated Balls and Strikes) system for 2026. What will Year 1 look like, and how could it reshape the future of calling balls and strikes?
It’s Friday, so Robert Littal of Black Sports Online joins Jason to discuss the week’s biggest sports headlines — including how Black NBA players are judged for their effort in All-Star Games compared to white and European players, plus more tanking talk and football storylines.
Then we head to Daytona as SiriusXM NASCAR Radio betting insider Tino Pattigno previews the Daytona 500. Could this finally be the year Kyle Busch captures the checkered flag?
In Odds & Ends, we examine the growing number of court cases surrounding college athlete eligibility, including the situation involving Trinidad Chambliss, and ask whether Miami (OH) could run the table as college basketball’s lone unbeaten team.
All that and more on this loaded Friday edition of SportsWrap with Jason Page.
