In this week's Hear District, Kris & Marques Johnson are joined by former Bucks Trainer & UCLA athletics legend, Tony Spino, to reflect on the '70s Bucks & understand why Achilles injuries are plaguing the NBA. But first, MJ & Kris react to Doc Rivers' latest comments and how he plans to unleash 'Point Giannis' next season. They assess how this plan could unlock core Bucks players like the newly re-signed Jericho Sims, Gary Trent Jr. & AJ Green. They also look at how Gary Harris can add to the team and which Bucks players are standing out most in the early stages of NBA Summer League. MJ drops a hot take about Cooper Flagg before introducing Tony, who shares memories of Kareem, a rookie Marques Johnson, the great Junior Bridgeman & that era of the Milwaukee Bucks. They dive into the state of NBA injuries and why seven players lost their seasons to Achilles tears after decades of that injury being a rarity. They finish with a hilarious story about Coach John Wooden & former President Bill Clinton, and other musings about Tony's relationship with the Johnson family & his place in UCLA history.

This week on the Hear District podcast, Marques & Kris Johnson are joined by 2-time All-Star & LA hoops legend Baron Davis to reflect on his basketball career and debate whether certain NBA stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo can transcend the eras they played in. First, they highlight Baron's place as one of the all-time great L.A. point guards, playing with Kris at UCLA and Baron's NBA career. Baron then makes an impassioned case for why Marques should be in the Naismith Hall of Fame. They also debate whether Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo would still be a star in the 70s and his place in the 2024-25 MVP conversation. Finally, Marques opens up about becoming a Hall of Fame finalist for the third time and his reaction to not being part of the Hall of Fame's class of 2025. Kris then cues up a moving message to Marques from Bucks legends Sidney Moncrief, Paul Pressey, Bob Dandridge and Jon McGlockin.
