The Drive | Hour 1 | 02.19.25

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys compare the ratings from the Four Nations Faceoff and the NBA All-Star weekend. How can the NBA reignite interest in their All-Star events? For the first time in over 10 years the Broncos are returning their coach, quarterback, general manager, and ownership, what is possible under this regime? Although we agree that Jokic is the best player in the world, is he the face of the NBA? Could an international player ever be the face of the NBA? We hear from ESPN’s Stephan A. Smith and his thoughts on who will be the face of the league after Lebron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant.
