George Floyd mattered. Black Lives Matter.

George Floyd mattered. Black Lives Matter.

George Floyd was murdered in the US in circumstances which lay bare racial inequalities in American society. Those same inequalities affect the lives of Black people here in the UK. In this piece, I explore these issues and also set out some practical steps we can take to move our society in a better direction.

Halfcourt Hustle - Ep 6- Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard - You know the score

This week's a spicy one! There's been a lot of controversy around whether Carmelo Anthony still deserves a shot at a roster spot in today's NBA. I'm not so convinced. There's parallels with the Dwight Howard situation - Dwight's been signed, just not for any guaranteed money. Listen to my take on both of these ageing stars.
