The Give and Go is a quick back and forth between Paul Mitchell and Chris St. Jean about a relevant subject in the NBA at that moment.

Chris: Mitchell, last week LeBron James was upset because his 10-year-old son was supposedly being recruited by colleges already. LeBron claims he already has offers on the table and felt that it should be a violation to do so for a kid so young, yet in the same breath talked up his son’s passing skills and compared his son’s pass-first mentality to his own.
That got me thinking... This is inevitable, right? In roughly 8 years we’ll be watching LeBron James Jr. play his first college basketball game for Duke (Does being the Team USA coach give Coach K an edge in recruiting?). Months later, he’ll be the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. And there’s a chance his father, LeBron James Sr. (from now on we have to call him senior, right?), may even still be a player in this league. The first NBA matchup between LeBron James Jr and Lebron James Sr will be the biggest story in sports for a week in 2024, am I right?
So, Mitchell, I’m curious, what is the most crazy/uplifting/depressing/unbelievable/shocking/must-watch NBA story that you envision will take place in the next 7-12 years? The story that will make Deflate-gate and Donald Sterling look like that time when Jayson Williams tried to cover up shooting his chauffeur in the face with a shotgun. Seriously, that should have been a bigger story, no? So what do you have, Mitchell?
