Court Advantage Podcast

Hey everyone! We're back with another episode of the Court Advantage Podcast, but with a twist. This will be the first uncut episode to be published. It's nothing crazy in terms of content, but all the pauses and breaks in between aren't removed. So there will be some awkward moments when one of us tries to speak. You may find that annoying or surprising, we'll leave it up to you on how to feel. Shon and Kevin talk about the NBA's Worst Trades of the Decade in light of the Kevin Durant Trade Sweepstakes. We've seen some horrendous trades go down, but what do you think is the most ridiculous trade to come out of the last decade?

It's been a while since we had a guest on the Court Advantage Podcast, but we're so glad to have a fantastic woman join us for this episode. Our guest is Raven Edwards, an elite soccer goalkeeper for the North Toronto Nitros Club, Seneca College, and the Guyana National Team. We discuss her illustrious career and the loved ones around her motivate her game and spirit to be the best. This week, Shon was rocking solo without his other co-host Kevin, but we had the pleasure of having Raven come on the podcast and share a couple of laughs and her incredible journey to success.

After a long hiatus, we're back on the Court Advantage Podcast! Your co-hosts, Shon & Kevin, are excited for what's to come for our conversations, guests, and debates around the sports world. In this episode, we cover much ground, including the aftermath of the first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs, the start of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the chaotic month of April for the MLB Season. However, the main topic we discuss is the psyche of the typical sports fan. Often, we will cheer for a team or player we want to watch based on any sport we like... but why is that the case? What are some of the reasons behind this revelation? City affiliation, Personal bias towards an athlete(s), or following the majority on teams to root for. Shon and Kevin break it all down into context that can be understood by two passionate sports fans themselves.

IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME! We cherish all the moments from watching WWE as a kid. From the Attitude Era to the Ruthless Aggression Era, we remember watching our favourite wrestlers on RAW and Smackdown. However, the product has taken a huge decline in the creative process: Lack of quality booking, mistreatment of wrestlers, and corruption with executive management. Today, Court Advantage has time today to talk WWE. We go over the corporate machine and attempt to fix WWE: How should the shows be operated? Why is booking and storylines more important than making a buck? What storyline would have to be implemented to achieve this goal? Tune into this three-part episode of Court Advantage.
