Episode Notes
We welcome Indiana Pacers star point guard Tyrese Haliburton back to the show, along with legendary film director Spike Lee. What more needs to be said.
The episode begins with Tyrese and Spike reminiscing about last season’s playoff series between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers, including Tyrese’s homage to Reggie Miller’s choke gesture, Spike’s relationship with Reggie, and the ongoing rivalry as a whole. They also discuss Spike’s latest joint, ‘Highest 2 Lowest’, and the greatness of actor Denzel Washington; so great, in fact, that Spike considers him the greatest living actor. Tyrese and Spike also discuss what it takes to be elite in both of their crafts, as well as fascinating comparisons between the best athletes and actors. Spike then graciously shares behind-the-scenes anecdotes from many of his legendary films, working with legends like Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson, and much more. You don’t want to miss this one. Let’s go!
