Black History with the Funny, Smart, & Opinionated Bomani Jones

Emmy-award-winning sports journalist and host Bomani Jones has his Black history knowledge tested all while schooling Dr. Christina Greer on why Michael Jordan is the NBA goat. Jones' love for hip-hop music and season two of his HBO series "Game Theory with Bomani Jones" are also highlights of the conversation.

Love listening to Bomani. He's an African American treasure.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Hate listening to Bomani. He's a race baiting, white hating non-treasure.

[@LanceJ.]

Get Bomani talking music and he really opens up. I’d love to see him do more tv/podcasting on music. I think he’s too smart for sports and Jordan/LeBron debates.

[@tyronegooch5251]

Actually, the first black professional team owners were Bertram Lee and Peter Bynoe, who were owners of the Denver Nuggets. A brother named Bruce Llewellyn had the opposite to buy the Minnesota Vikings back in the late 70s. Got very ill from a heat valve surgery gone very bad and couldn't complete the deal.

Great podcast. I’ve been following Bomani for years. Please write the book about traveling on a budget!!!

[@KTKZon58]

Bomani is about my older brothers's age, and cats that age LOVE _Southernplayalistic..._ in a different way. Like a "you had to be there" type thing. Me, personally, being in my mid 30s, it's b/w _ATLiens_ and _Aquemini_ for favorite.

[@ladyjustice7]

Great show. 👍

[@illmf]

Love this so much. (And just for fun.. Dan Majerele guarded Jordan in the finals. Do with that what you will...)

26:06: Bo was thisclose to a Galaga flashback

[@voodoomagic71685]

Yes! I know that's right on East Africa. 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿

[@1therabbithole]

Bomani does't have many bad takes... even on hip hop. He was spot on with the Outkast topic

[@TXPLAYBOI05]

Oh wow! Such a delight surprise for my platform (Black Restaurant Week) to be mentioned on this episode. Thank you so much!!

[@Angela-pi6zc]

I wished this opportunity with Mr. Jones had been of substance. A person of such talent, knowledge, and experiences should not be asked to schedule time for a play date.

[@williamphillips3035]

Really DOPE content

[@kudabeen]

Stand in front of you and Rap, tell you the history and battle...KRS could indeed be a good ONE, but Black Thought does all that and has the same longevity...but love the discussion never dies...I do need to revist Speakerbox...Definitely recall the tracks, but not living in them

[@GuyWhitney]

I sometimes walk around NYC hoping to see Bomani doing those on the street interviews for Game Theory. One of these days...

[@ploppill34]

And the now fired Bomani Jones😂😂😂

[@wolf7el356]

Black American excellence!

[@Pittie21]

GR8 INTERVIEW 😊

[@JMAC____]

I love listening to intellectual conversations very impressed

[@ploppill34]

Then, why are you here?😂😂😂

[@relly66112]

This show is concentrated, pure, black excellence

[@NHExperienceTV]

Bomani is one of the sharpest dudes in the business.

[@bessie1384]

This was dope. Bomani is one of the smartest people in media. Been following him since 2011/2012. He most passionate when discussing music.

[@na_k]

Dope pod! The point about most not being able to appreciate Southern brilliance was an excellent one. Love for you, Bo, but ain't no way NYC's food scene better than Houston or Atl. NYC is mad overrated. There may be a lot more options, but most aren't that good and/or really expensive. Hou, Atl, Chi, NO, Chicago, Mem are all better than NYC.

[@TA-ht4jo]

The best food is either in Atlanta, NO or Chicago

[@tyronegooch5251]

Drop Atlanta. The restaurants are nice to look and cooling environments but the food is mediocre. Chicago, different level. Lettuce Entertainment says it all.

*26:40* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ploppill34]

🥶🥶🥶🥶

[@boobills718]

Martin gotta go? U can no longer be trusted!!!!

[@yolo25000]

Living single is the one that has to go. MARTIN first 3 years, CLASSIC.

[@mrdavidashley6892]

Sometimes Bomani be dry as hell.😂 Like you have to earn his respect to the podcast that he agreed to be on lol but Martin having one and a half good seasons is a single most disrespectful thing I’ve ever heard in a pop-culture conversation.

[@wesleyaarons4293]

I bet she in the freaknik doc she is a flirt

[@leonardwashington2685]

How can you say that Babe Ruth was the greatest, when he didn't play against Black player's?

[@ploppill34]

Blind people don’t know what the hell you’re talking about😂😂😂

[@leonardwashington2685]

You got the wrong Leonard Washington.

[@coolpeoples365]

There is a case to be made that Babe Ruth was black
