Last night, HBO Sports aired it’s premiere episode of the LeBron James series “The Shop” which left no conversation unturned with its highly-anticipated debut.

Recruiting the likes of a credible panel of co-hosts that include Snoop Dogg, Draymond Green, Vince Staples, Odell Beckham, Jr., and more, the barbershop talk extended to issues of race relations, thoughts on LeBron’s career and even the motivation James has instilled in his children when they become faced with challenges.

Opening the topic of whether LeBron should be titled as the best player playing, Draymond Green says:
