#PSBSportsChop: What Happened to Isaiah Thomas? – February 8, 2018

Last year, Isaiah Thomas averaged 29.8 points per game en route to leading Boston to the best record in the Eastern Conference. Fast forward nine months and Thomas has struggled to make his new home in Cleveland a good fit. A lingering hip injury, dip in field goal percentage after his return and recent comments about the Cavs coaching staff all resulted in the seven-year veteran being sent to Los Angeles in a trade with the primary guard swapped is Jordan Clarkson.

THE BREAKDOWN:

How bad has Thomas value plummeted in the past six months? Clarkson is actually averaging less points per game this year than Thomas is even after missing all but 15 games so far. Longtime Laker fans Norris Grant and Sean “Sticks” Smith were upset in a group message I’m in about the Thomas addition to the roster after the trade broke earlier this afternoon. For an impending free agent, Thomas is in arguably the most unique situation in league history for a guy coming off of the season he had in 2016-17. Once again, Boston GM Danny Ainge is sitting behind his desk as a winner with Kyrie Irving wearing Celtic green and Thomas being traded yet again.

#PSBAllAccess: Discovery HS – Business Marketing Speech – February 7, 2018

Travis McDaniel invited me out to Discovery HS to speak to the Business Academy students. My message was simple: Find your passion and make it your livelihood. I told them I’m a kid from Gwinnett County Public Schools just like them…if I can make it from here, then they can be better than me.

THE BREAKDOWN:

We touched on multiple topics ranging from the worldwide success of local artists Migos to how to turn your passion into a nichè business. The students involved were fantastic with plenty of responses and feedback.

#PSBSportsChop: Is Tom Brady the GOAT? – February 7, 2018

It’s safe to say that NFL megastar Tom Brady has established himself as arguably the game’s greatest quarterback. There’s room to argue about his career against a legend like Joe Montana.

By: Brandon Clay @PSBPopCultureBC

THE BREAKDOWN:

As far as current NFL quarterbacks go, Brady is in a company all by himself. He’s 40 years old and still performing at a level good enough to be named the league’s Most Valuable Player on an annual basis. Despite a loss in this year’s Super Bowl, Brady finished with 505 yards passing in the game breaking the all-time Super Bowl record. He’s best known for his day-to-day training routine and meticulous nature preparing for opponents.

Take a look at the trailer for his upcoming documentary, Tom Vs. Time:
