The Secret Jazz Life of an NBA GM

The Ben and Skin Show

What if one of the NBA’s most private and powerful executives had a hidden past as a jazz-rap musician—and you were the one holding the only surviving copy of his lost album?In this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew—Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—dive into a story so wild, it sounds made up… but it’s 100% real.Skin reveals his long-standing, low-key friendship with Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti, a man so private he makes Batman look like an influencer. But the real bombshell? Skin owns a rare 1999 jazz-rap CD made by Presti himself—an album that’s been scrubbed from the internet and hunted down by ESPN’s Pablo Torre for a podcast deep dive. Skin even turned down a guest spot on Torre’s show to protect Presti’s privacy. Loyalty or missed opportunity? You decide.
