    The night before they become rivals, they share one conversation. In this episode of The Long Game Novacast, Hall of Famer and Dallas Power head coach Nancy Lieberman sits down with Greg "Moose" Monroe of the undefeated Dallas Power and Michael Beasley of the Miami 305 just hours before they face each other in one of the BIG3's biggest matchups of the season. Together, they go beyond basketball, discussing the pressure of expectations, life after the NBA, identity, growth, and the lessons that only experience can teach. But once the conversation ends, friendship takes a back seat. The next day, Dallas puts its undefeated record on the line, and only one team will walk away with the win.

    Ray Nixon: Smile To Keep From Crying

This isn't just a conversation about basketball. It's about resilience, healing, and finding the strength to keep going when no one sees the battle. One quote from this episode says it all: "Sometimes we smile because it's easier than letting people see us cry." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
