Cooper Flagg Should Turn Down NBA Draft & Stay At Duke, Larry Johnson Says

If you’ve already picked a side in the Austin Metcalf–Karmelo Anthony case based solely on race — you’re missing the point entirely. On today’s "Fearless," Jason tackles the emotional and complicated layers of this tragedy. The internet is ablaze with hot takes, but Jason challenges viewers to look deeper — not through the lens of race but through the lens of truth, fear, and ultimately, forgiveness. While the motives behind Karmelo Anthony’s decision to take Austin Metcalf’s life can be debated, one thing is clear: This is a tragedy. Full stop. And when Austin’s father publicly forgave his son’s killer, many were quick to criticize. Some chalk it up to "white guilt," others to the so-called "softening" of masculinity in the West — but Jason sees it as a biblical act of courage. Forgiveness is hard. It’s what Jesus commands, but few actually live it out. Jason goes further — exposing how not just leftists but conservatives and Christians alike are often too emotionally compromised or politically influenced to see these stories clearly. If race is the first filter you run everything through, maybe it’s become an idol in your life. Duke collapses in the second half against Houston — Cougars are Final-bound. Will Cooper Flagg stay at Duke for redemption in 2026? UConn takes home another championship in Paige Bueckers’ final season. So if Geno Auriemma has quadrupled the rings of Dawn Staley, why is Staley called the greatest? Jason contrasts the NHL and the NBA: Gretzky embraces Ovechkin, while the NBA seems to constantly downplay legends in favor of hype. Why the lack of reverence? Shedeur Sanders’ draft stock is in free fall, and Coach Prime isn’t handling it well — he was caught on camera screaming at an NFL scout. Is Deion letting pressure crack the image? Another powerful, thought-provoking "Fearless" Monday. You won’t hear this anywhere else. Tune in!
