Back like we never left, and we got the homie, sports journalist Marsha Nadine with us!!!
Marsha Nadine is a sarcastic, enthusiastic and sports loving young woman from Brooklyn, N.Y. She often spends her time debating with friends, and strangers on different social networks on sports. She decided that she would create an outlet to bring these conversations together called Basketball Unfiltered. It is a brand that moves to bring the love of basketball to the masses, while simultaneously ruffling some feathers. Marsha began to shoot and edit her own content with just her phone and computer. Once these videos, and sometimes rants began to get more coverage she realized she had something special. This gave her the opportunity to begin to write for small publications; and as she gained more experience, she was given greater opportunities. She has covered NCAA teams such as St. Johns, Duke, Kentucky and others, while also covering the Brooklyn Nets in smaller capacities. She was also an NBC Sports intern for 3 consecutive semesters, where she worked as a sports researcher. She hopes to one day become a basketball sideline reporter, where she can use her skills to bring a different perspective to the game.
And she definitely brought her unique perspective to this episode with the OW hosts Marc and Ty. There were plenty of laughs and of course, insightful basketball dialogue. This was one for the books family. Listen and share!

In the 4th grade, Brunson-Dargan Elementary, Ms. Bostick's class, I had become really good friends with a kid (we'll call him Wes). One of the things we had to do daily, was 30 minutes of silent reading (booooooo). BUT, we could bring a book from home (couldn't be a magazine/comics/or any of that) It had to be an actual BOOK/novel. So one day, my friend Wes comes in with a book that has Shaq on the front of it, and he's holding a basketball. And in HUGE letters on the cover it said SHAQ ATTAQ. I had NEVER been so interested in a book in my short life. I remember asking Wes about the book and him telling me it had cussing in it. NOW, I had to read it. So, I would bug him about the book all the time. And I probably read half or a little over half of it, when we had a falling out. I don't remember what I did, I just remember what he did. He became a huge jerk one day and went off on me and was like, "stop asking to read my book, get your own book fat boy" (or something along those lines). I was PISSED. I begged my mom for that book, and it took awhile, but she finally bought it for me. Revenge time. Even though it was at least a month or so later, I walked in class, slammed my Shaq Attaq book on his desk, and said "I got my OWN book now."
I read the book cover to cover at least 4 times. I didn't want to read anything other than Shaq's book and my favorite childhood author Walter Dean Myers. I knew everything there was to know about Shaq. He was EASILY my favorite player as kid. (also loved Larry Johnson aka Grandmama, MJ, Chris Webber, and Penny)
Secretly, as a kid…. I wanted to BE Shaq. Here's a big guy, who's charismatic, funny, the best center in the league, and everyone seems to love him. I wanted to be like that. I wanted to be like Shaq. And in many ways, UNFORTUNATELy, as I grew up…I became Shaquille O'Neal. BUT NOT JUST ME. Not just my co-host Marc. Men all over America turned into Shaquille O'Neal. Hindsight is always 20/20, and today we're going to take a look back at the career of Shaquille O'Neal (on and off the court) and how we and many men have made many of the same mistakes he made along the way.Support the Show.
