Description

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by sports media giant Stephen A. Smith, who Joe says is on his pantheon of dream guests alongside Jay-Z and Michael Jordan. Stephen A. does what he does best, debating Joe and Jada about LeBron James' future with the Los Angeles Lakers after the addition of Luka Doncic, whether Joe owes Dak Prescott an apology for his criticisms of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, if the New York Knicks would be right to gut their roster by trading stars like Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the likeliness of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs making it back to the top of the NFL world with another Super Bowl. The 'First Take' host also goes into his contract negotiations with ESPN, his rumored presidential ambitions, and his criticisms of Donald Trump and New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
