    Pure Thoughts: Knicks fans Barry Sacks & Michael Jackson

    The New York Knicks have become one of the great stories of the NBA season. But due to COVID, the hysteria that would normally engulf Madison Square Garden has been muted. What hasn't been muted is the passion of Knicks fans for their overachieving team. Barry Sacks and Michael "MJ" Jackson are former colleagues at ESPN who are great examples of the highly intelligent New York basketball fan. In this episode of Pure Thoughts, MJ and Barry join dejected Celtics fan Bruce Bernstein for a deep dive into what makes this Knicks team unlike any other in recent years.

    Former NBA Referee & ESPN/ABC Rules Expert Steve Javie

    During his 25 seasons as an NBA Referee, Steve Javie carved out a reputation as a "no nonsense" official who was an excellent game manager and a man of integrity. After retiring due to chronic knee problems, he became the highly visible rules expert for ESPN/ABC's game broadcasts. But his journey didn't end in the Secaucus, NJ Replay Center where millions heard his analysis of difficult calls on the court. As a man of faith, Steve answered the calling and embarked on a journey of study and reflection that led him to become an ordained Deacon in the Catholic Church. In this wide ranging conversation with Bruce Bernstein, Steve shared stories of his life as an official, some fun stories from his years calling games, and his current role as a religious and spiritual leader.

    Pure Thoughts: Brad Daugherty

    Brad Daugherty is one of the most unique individuals in basketball history. He was one of the best big men ever to play at the University of North Carolina for coach Dean Smith. He was the #1 overall pick in the 1986 NBA Draft, ahead of his good friend the late Len Bias who went #2. His NBA career was on a Hall of Fame trajectory, with 5 All Star appearances in his first 7 seasons. But at the age of 28 he was forced to retire due to severe back injuries. As a lifelong auto racing fan, he became a NASCAR team owner in his early 30's and was a successful businessman and broadcaster along the way for ESPN and currently NBC. As perhaps the highest profile African American in the NASCAR world, he has spoken out against the display of the confederate flag and against all forms of discrimination. Find out how Brad Daugherty's unique journey has shaped in the new edition of "Pure Thoughts."
