## Resource

Almost Athletes is back with a loaded episode featuring Tony Hawk AND the Harlem Globetrotters! But first, the Dudes dive into a full Masters recap where the Dudes respond to Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley’s comments about them. They make their NBA Finals predictions, debate whether Giannis is really a top 5 player, and reveal the official Squad Games Tour lineup. Then Tony Hawk joins the show to talk about his recently viral social post, how skateboarding has evolved since he started, and the mindset it takes to keep pushing in extreme sports. He shares stories about chasing the 900, reflects on raising kids around risk, and reveals the one trick he was never able to fully master. They finish things off with a nostalgia-packed draft of the all-time best sports video games. Later, Torch and Too Tall from the Harlem Globetrotters stop by to talk about how they joined the team, what tryouts and training camp are really like, and the challenge of balancing elite performance with entertainment. And finally, the Globetrotters face off against Cory Cotton in an epic basketball spin-off competition.
