Co-hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER welcome an incredibly timely guest to the show as 2023 Three Point contest Champion DAMIAN “DAME” LILLARD joins the Point Forward podcast. Over the course of a very special, 40+ minute interview that took place, thanks to Mitchell & Ness, in front of a packed live audience in Salt Lake City, Turner and Lillard, good friends and former teammates, went deep on what it means to come from humble roots, being real gone right, expectations, loyalty, the ranking of current NBA point guards, legacy and what an NBA Championship would look like for Dame D.O.L.L.A.

The Point Forward podcast, hosted by former NBA teammates and current best friends Andre Iguodala and Evan Turner, uses basketball as a pretext to honestly and openly talk about business, culture, race, tech, and, yes, sports. Specifically, over the course of weekly hour-long episodes that drop on #pointforwardfriday, Iguodala and Turner, discuss and debate current national and global events in a way that is meant to resonate with everyone from the Silicon Valley elite to teenagers on the south side of Chicago.
