Episode Notes

From Savannah to Athens and around the world, JJ Frazier’s story is one of grit, grind, and greatness. On this episode of Dawg Talk, J Mac, Kenny, and KCP sit down with the Georgia legend to talk hoops, overseas life, wild college memories, and what it means to really be a Dawg.

JJ keeps it real as he opens up about being overlooked at 5’6”, dominating in the SEC, life in Turkey, China, and Italy, and his favorite overseas food spots (spoiler alert: Italy always wins).
