Can the NBA Fix the USA? with Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert

It’s NBA Draft Day and Nayeema’s sitting down with Cleveland Cavaliers owner, Rocket Companies founder and Detroit mega-booster Dan Gilbert to ask: How do you make up with LeBron James? Can a billion bucks buy happiness? Is the NBA socialist? And what can it teach the USA about fairness? Dan opens up about the infamous LeBron letter, what it’s really like sitting at a table with 30 billionaire NBA owners, why he’s invested so much in Detroit’s comeback and the personal tragedies that have taught him gratitude.

Also on the agenda: whether Taylor is actually a Knicks fan, a record pizza delivery and Nayeema’s Q: is being a billionaire anything like we see on HBO’s Succession.
