Point Forward with Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner

Point Forward co-hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER went crazy at NBA All-Star in Salt Lake City. Over the course of three days, they recorded six interviews for the podcast. First and foremost among them is today’s guest, Oakland legend, Portland Trail Blazers' star and legit rapper, DAMIAN LILLARD. Dame and Turner, his former teammate and good friend, had a very special, 40+ minute conversation that took place, thanks to Mitchell & Ness, in front of a packed live audience in Lids at City Creek Center. The two went deep on what it means to come from humble roots, expectations, loyalty, the ranking of current NBA point guards and what an NBA Championship would look like for Lillard. So, come for Andre Iguodala’s intro discussion of All-Star break and stay for the realest interview Dame D.O.L.L.A. has ever been a part of.

Patriot Games (Feat. James White)

In episode 16 of the Point Forward podcast, the last show before a brief NBA All-Star Break bye week, co-hosts and best friends ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER are back in Boston to talk with their friend, three-time Super Bowl Champion with the Patriots, JAMES WHITE. But before breaking bread with James, the hosts go deep on the wildest NBA trade deadline in League history. And this isn’t idle talk from “insiders” who don’t actually know what’s going on; this is real talk from longtime NBA players who have lived it. Listen and learn. Then, after touching on the Grammys and Tom Brady’s retirement, the hosts talk to one of TB12’s most accomplished teammates. James White was named to the Patriots’ All-Decade team for the 2010s after an eight-year career that saw him win three Super Bowls, most prominently number LI when he scored 20 points himself during the Pats’ historic comeback over the Falcons. The hosts relive all of this with their humble guest, plus add in some thoughtful conversation around race and business in a perfectly timed episode for Super Bowl Weekend.

Reign of Terror (Feat. Jamahal “Sweet Dreams” Hill)

In another fascinating episode recorded mostly at NBA All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, Point Forward co-hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER welcome UFC Light Heavyweight champion JAMAHAL HILL to the show. After a lively weekly topics discussion that touches on the incredible streaks Dame Lillard and Caitlin Clark are on, the state of the LIV and PGA golf Tours and Michael B. Jordan’s recent red carpet beef, it’s time to hear from the first pro fighter in Point Forward guest history. And, needless to say, Jamahal brings the goods, dropping gems about how long he’s been knocking folks out (spoiler: longer than you can imagine!), why ultimate fighting was a better career path than basketball, boxing or football for him and what he wants to accomplish in life when his reign “of terror” is over.
