Deon Taylor, a former basketball player, and accomplished filmmaker, discusses the intricate dynamics of balancing life lessons and athletic training. His son, Noah Taylor, one of the promising talents in AAU basketball, provides an inside look at his experiences and aspirations. The episode explores the challenges and triumphs faced by basketball enthusiasts and their families, the importance of understanding the game beyond mere scoring, and lessons learned from both the professional and personal realms. The conversation also shifts to dissect the current state of the NBA, touching upon topics like the effects of fundamental training differences between the U.S. and overseas, and the evolving dynamics of NBA stars today.  Deon and Coach Collins have a bigger discussion on black fathers and culture to better serve our youth to make them better prepared adults for the future.
