Welcome back to CSPN’s Know the Score !
This week, our panel talks about LeBron James‘ recent comments about being the next G.O.A.T. and “chasing ghosts” in reference to fellow basketball legend Michael Jordan and Russell Westbrook inking a short-term extension with the OKC Thunder. Then, a look at this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame class as they are enshrined at Canton and a discussion of what to expect at the Rio Olympics, which kicked off with a bang over the weekend.
