This episode of “For the Fellas” brings together NBA Champion J.R. Smith, NBA Legend Charles Oakley, Atlanta Falcons Veteran Za’Darius Smith, and ESPN Senior Reporter Justin Tinsley in an important conversation on the realities Black athletes face both during and after their playing careers.

 

Hosted by Brian "B-Mac" McIntosh, the conversation marks the series' first-ever sports-themed episode and explores the realities Black athletes face both during and after their playing careers. The conversation tackles building wealth beyond the game, legacy, physical and mental health, family, identity, purpose and the pressure of living life in the public eye.

 

“Getting Charles Oakley, Za'Darius Smith, JR Smith, and Justin Tinsley in one room to have that conversation the BET way, authentically, social-first, people over the scorecard, is something special,” said Brittiany C Taylor, Executive Producer and VP of Social and Audience Development, BET.
