Jason and Kirk discuss NBA All-Star Weekend and the fallout, as many called for a change in the league's mid-season event. From there, the guys discuss the HBCU Classic that Jason called on Saturday of All-Star Weekend. The game between Tuskegee and Morehouse was fun to call and watch, and the large crowd in attendance had an absolute ball at the event. Adam Silver's comments about how proud the league is of the HBCU Classic each year were echoed by everyone in attendance.

Bruce Lincoln, Executive Director & Nathan Ford, Senior Program Director Uptown Lacrosse

The guys joined the show to promote their event in Harlem this weekend as well as introduce the world to what Uptown Lacrosse is all about. Bruce Lincoln, a Harlem native and serial entrepreneur who was the only African American player on his Maryland State Championship-winning high school lacrosse team at Towson High School. He went on to play at Princeton University in the late 1970s and has long envisioned expanding lacrosse within the African American community. Nathan Ford, Esq., is an attorney and former standout player at Hackley School, a renowned private school lacrosse powerhouse. After attending Vanderbilt University and earning a law degree from Rutgers University, Ford remains committed to fostering academic and professional opportunities through lacrosse. Both men began playing lacrosse while playing basketball (Bruce) & football (Nathan) in HS. Lacrosse has emerged as a sport that families are embracing. Uptown Lacrosse was founded to ensure that children in grades 3 through 8 have access to high quality lacrosse training allowing them to start as early as those folks in Baltimore & Long Island. The event on Saturday will introduce the sport with a day of community engagement, skill building and exciting demonstrations.
