Jadakiss and God Shammgod are back for another episode of Check It Up, talking basketball from the New York perspective—starting with the Knicks, the Spurs, Christmas Day matchups, the NBA Cup, and what it will take to make another run. Kiss and Sham break down the league’s changing landscape, including Giannis to Miami, Wembanyama’s growth, Melo and Ant-Man as a backcourt, the next face of the NBA, and whether anyone can ever match Michael Jordan’s impact in sneakers and branding. They also discuss the intensity of Madison Square Garden, the Brooklyn Nets’ place in New York basketball, the rise of the Liberty, and build their ultimate NBA starting five. The conversation goes beyond the league: God reflects on NIL, how life-changing it could have been for elite players in his era, and why access to real opportunities can change the direction of young athletes’ lives. Jadakiss also speaks on The LOX’s longevity, loyalty, and the response to their documentary. Subscribe for more conversations at the intersection of basketball, hip-hop, culture, and New York energy. #Jadakiss #GodShammgod #CheckItUp #NBA #NewYorkKnicks #Wembanyama #NIL #Basketball
