COVID-19 (and Rudy Gobert) Cancels Sports, Crypto, and Life as We Know It

Host and ZenSports Co-Founder & CEO, Mark Thomas, scrambles to find a guest for an emergency podcast to discuss the cancelling of American sports. Jess Udy to the rescue!

Jess lives in Utah and is a Jazz fan, and we discuss what it was like for him to find out that his hometown star, Rudy Gobert, was the catalyst for shutting down the NBA and the rest of American sports. We also dive into COVID-19's impact on all sports and the human race moving forward, why the crypto markets moved in sync with the equity markets this time, and the merits of an alien cryptocurrency. Mark also laments the possibility of no Bucks' championship this season :(
