Today on BRING IT IN TrueHoop Special Correspondent Adena Jones updated us on —wow, Doc Rivers is powerful—the shooting of Jacob Blake, as well as Wubble beef, Paul George, and LeBron. Then Henry Abbott and David Thorpe welcome back award-winning COVID-19 reporter Dana Smith, senior writer for Elemental at Medium.
