In this day and age, it is hard to not find a sports talk show where there is not some form of debate on that show. However, the way that sports has been debated has changed over the years. 

On the Extra Points With Cousin Sal & Dave Dameshek podcast this week, ESPN NBA analyst Jalen Rose talked about how a debate Rose had with Skip Bayless years ago on First Takeand how it changed the industry in his mind.

"Those two days of debate actually changed the landscape of the industry in a lot of ways. The video of me debating Skip Bayless, the first day was about Russell Westbrook and he was talking about how Westbrook wasn't a terrific performer because he wasn't a traditional point guard. The next day, they brought Stephen A. Smith [who wasn't working for ESPN at the time] on to defend the position of people who didn't play."

"They brought him [Stephen A.] on and he and Skip debated me about not only players, but it was about the name calling. So, the term bust is a label and Skip was also calling Chris [Bosh] 'bosh spice'. How that changed the landscape is now they brought Stephen A. back on to be with Skip everyday so people like me wouldn't come on and be a guest of the show and disagree with him and not take a favorable position to some of the things he might say."

When Rose thinks about that debate, he said that's when he felt the sports media industry had become "more debate, more clickbait, more shock media."

Rose was recently in the news for his interview with Fab 5 teammate Chris Webber after it was announced that Webber would be inducted into the National Basketball Hall of Fame. That interview on NBA Countdown meant a lot to Rose.

"The number one reason is that I lost my mom in February and he knows how much she meant to me and I appreciated him acknowledging how much she meant to him. As a professional, sometimes you do things that aren't planned.

"When I went to bed the night before, I didn't know it was going to happen just like he didn't know that was going to happen. I have been doing NBA Countdown for 10 years, I've been doing this for 20 years. As a professional, that now has to become I'm still going to make sure I am going to celebrate his greatness and acknowledge him making it to the Hall of Fame without making it personal, not make it about me."
