Point Game with Isaiah Thomas and C.J. Toledano

Jamal Crawford joins Point Game this week to share stories from his decades-long friendship with Isaiah Thomas — from early battles and shared respect to the moments that built a lifelong bond. Few players have seen as much basketball as Jamal, and he brings that perspective to a conversation that blends hoops history with real-life growth. Now former pros coaching their own kids, Jamal, CJ, and IT get candid about the realities of youth sports. They talk about navigating competitive environments, balancing encouragement with accountability, and how parents can support without overstepping. It’s honest insight from guys who’ve lived it at every level. With the All-Star break providing a natural pause, the crew also takes stock of the NBA season so far. They break down first-half surprises — including how the Celtics have managed to stay dominant even without Jayson Tatum — and look ahead to what’s coming after the break. And yes, there are bold predictions… including a case for the Spurs making a serious run.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Point Game, Isaiah Thomas & C.J. Toledano tap into the latest updates on the Ja Morant, Anthony Davis, and Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors and how their injuries factor into the equation. IT takes a moment to talk about the true difficulties of getting traded, especially mid-season. Then we take a trip down memory lane in the wake of Derrick Rose's jersey retirement in Chicago this past weekend: from battling in the early 2010's during his unbelievable prime to becoming friends during their season together on the Cavs. We also discuss KD's habit of talking back to aggressive fans, how Luka took care of his loyal fans in Dallas – and almost went into the Mavs locker room at half time – and close out with a quick chat about Jordan brand retiring the Zion signature shoe. Enjoying the show?
