DraftKings: Jadakiss and Set Free Richardson's epic 'Starting Five' Q&A series laces back up for another season

By this point you already know I am always pushing for the people pushing The Culture forward and bringing something unique, different and - simply said - fire to what we live and breathe daily. So finding out DraftKings’ ‘Starting Five’ is gearing up for another full-fledged season with Jadakiss and Set Free Richardson leading the charge? Oh yes.

It’s all in the details and with new interviews and content set to tip off Sunday, November 12 with White Chocolate a.k.a. Jason Williams? How can you not be pumped? Peep the details.

Fresh content tips off November 12 with former NBA point guard and champion Jason Williams, as he explores the origin story behindhis iconic elbow pass (don’t call it the Rondo), how “No Limit Soldiers” pumped him up for games at ARCO Arena (but, he’d use country to clear the weight room) and the importance of fried bologna

During each 30-minute episode, hosts Set Free Richardson (creator of the AND1 mixtape, longtime producer and filmmaker) and Jadakiss(rapper, member of The Lox), hold court with basketball legends and megafans to chat about fashion, art, music, entrepreneurship and sports betting. 

The series, which is produced by DraftKings (and creative teammate The Revival House), debuted last year – is part of a larger effort to drive excitement and conversations around basketball culture both on and off the hardwood. Last season, guests ranged from A-list comedian Kevin Hart to NBA HoFer Mitch Richmond and hip-hop icon Fat Joe.

 New episodes drop every other Sunday, at 6:30 p.m. ET on the DraftKings Network (across Roku, Samsung TV Plus and Xumo Play). Content also will be available on DraftKings’ YouTube, as well as brand and talent socials. 

Episode Two (November 26) will feature long-time NBA veteran turned analyst, JJ Redick.
