Description
Jim is joined by author Paul Knepper to discuss the Hall of Fame candidacy of former NBA guard World B. Free. First, Jim and Paul debate whether World B. Free is the greatest name in NBA history (14:55). Next, they cover Free's 1979 and 1980 seasons, what Free and Pete Maravich have in common, and whether Free was better than Calvin Murphy (24:06). Finally, they rank Free among the best guards of the 1970s and 1980s (47:22), before making a final call on whether or not Free belongs in the Basketball Hall of Fame (1:01:20). Then, Jim discusses the legacy of Chris Paul, who retired last week after a 21-year NBA career (1:10:33).
