The Dishin' Dimes guys are back after taking a week off.
The guys jump right into a discussion about knowing your value. It's important for everyone, whether it's on the court or off, to understand how valuable they are in any given situation. It may be coaches or teams looking to take advantage of your value for their benefit. The same applies in the corporate world.
Even more so now than in the past, especially in the new NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) that players understand their value. Sometimes the your value is bigger than the check and it's okay to say no.
And much more.
