    EPISODE 4: KD RECAP, CLICKBAIT MEDIA, JAKE PAUL, LOVE v LOYALTY

    On this episode of Unguarded, Fred VanVleet reflects on the social media reactions to the Kevin Durant podcast release and the challenges athletes face when media pulls headlines out of context. He talks resilience through adversity, including the moment Jake Paul broke his jaw, and shifts into his Chicago roots with thoughts on the Bears and the power of hometown fan loyalty. Fred closes on one of his core principles: the balance between love and loyalty, the difference between obligation and belief, and why context matters more than reaction. Real conversations. Real perspective. This is Unguarded.
