Description

This week the guys are joined by former Arizona Wildcat, former teammate of Duncan’s, and current Atlanta Hawk, Solomon Hill. They talk about what makes the Heat organization so special, Solo’s ability to be a trusted voice in any locker room, and the friendships he has made during his time in the NBA.

Duncan and Solo then reflect on the Orlando bubble, making a run to the Finals, and Solo explains how the Hawks’ run to the Eastern Conference Finals last year helped the young core in Atlanta grow. 

The guys then shift to talk about the pressure that comes with getting a “public payday” and how it changes things for a player when they earn a big contract. They have an incredible, honest conversation about how money is viewed in the NBA by fans, franchises, and between players.

Lastly, the conversation turns to Solo’s activity on Twitter (he might be the best tweeter in the NBA) and his role in pushing social justice initiatives forward. 

Before that conversation, Duncan and Davis discuss the Heat’s first preseason game, tease a new segment, give some advice to fans who want to learn some high-level basketball lingo, and more.
