Episode 2: BHM Special; Talk to People Who Think Like You; How To Fix the NBA Dunk Contest

The SBS Boys came together and found some answers to some really serious questions. First, we deep dive into some great names in black history that deserve more recognition. William Monroe Trotter, Benjamin Banneker, and Jack Johnson all got the royal treatment as we discussed their lives and impact on the Black community.

Then came the main event, we came together and discussed the ins and outs of having conversations with people with similar aspirations. Avery, Nelson, and Saivion discussed this topic from three different viewpoints. One of Self-Exploration, one of comfortability, or the lack thereof, and one from the actual concept of starting the conversation itself.

The Final Act has the boys coming together to figure out how the NBA and Adam Silver can fix the NBA All-Star Game Dunk Contest. The league has done its best to help with all of the other aspects of the weekend. However, the Dunk Contest has always been the main event of the weekend, no matter the changes. And it has been underwhelming, to say the least. So, we will be running a poll on our Spotify Account and on our social media sites to see who's idea would work the best in the future.

Enjoy the podcast, guys! Please let us know what you think!
