The NBA is entering a new era while major storylines continue developing across the NFL, and the Justin Time Sports Podcast is breaking it all down.

We begin with the NBA and the end of an era as Russell Westbrook announces his retirement. We look back at Westbrook’s historic career, his MVP season, triple-double dominance, impact on the point guard position, and where he belongs among the greatest guards in NBA history.

The conversation then shifts to one of the biggest developments in basketball: the Los Angeles Lakers being sold. What could new ownership mean for one of the NBA’s most iconic franchises? We discuss the future direction of the Lakers and how the change could impact the organization on and off the court.
