Walter Clayton Jr. Is Taking Over | Curtis Malone on Final Four

Walter Clayton Jr. is lighting up March Madness while grassroots legend Curtis Malone makes his return to the basketball spotlight. Hosted by Andy Hernandez, Keyon Dooling, and Nevin Shapiro, this episode of The Crossover dives into the future of college hoops and the legacy behind its foundation.

In this episode, Curtis Malone joins the panel to reflect on Final Four weekend in San Antonio, his journey back into the game, and his impact on generations of athletes. Meanwhile, all eyes are on Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr., who’s emerged as one of the most clutch players in the tournament. The team breaks down his game, NBA potential, and the Gators’ shot at a title.

The conversation expands into Hall of Fame reactions as Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, and Micky Arison are honored. Who deserves more credit? What if the Pistons drafted Melo? And how does Arison’s legacy stack up in Miami sports history?

To close, we spotlight Columbus High School’s national championship win and break down Alex Ovechkin surpassing Wayne Gretzky’s goal record — one of the biggest moments in NHL history.
