Our Lightning Bets feature for both the NBA and college basketball is second to none, allowing users to bet on every play, basket, and rebound, making this a perfect time to launch the new show, and we're thrilled to have Kaz at the helm." In addition to his role with MSG Networks, Kazeem Famuyide brings over 10 years of experience within sports, music, and entertainment, featuring hosting stints at major organizations including The Springhill Company and The Ringer.

I look forward to diving right in at the halfway point of the NBA season and begin prepping for March Madness."
