Wesley Morris (New York Times) on Jordan Capitalism, Harvey Gantt, and the Future of Film

On the B-side of The Last Dance Aftershow, Sam and David call up Pulitzer Prize winning writer and critic-at-large for the New York Times, Wesley Morris! They talk about Jordan’s tepid endorsement of Harvey Gantt, the infamous Republicans buy sneakers, too line, who the NBA mustache GOAT is, Jordan and Spike Lee’s relationship, nostalgia for Adrian Lyne pictures, and the future of sports movies. Plus- Wesley reveals which athlete would make for the next great actor.
