Ghost wasn't the original plan. Omari Hardwick's conversation with Ashley Nicole Moss starts with college football, then follows the route that took him from Georgia's defensive backfield to Power.

The interview was the most watched of Complex Bets' 15 uploads this week, reaching nearly 5,000 views. Hardwick recalls studying theater alongside his athletic commitments, working in Atlanta theater under Kenny Leon and landing Spike Lee's Sucker Free City. The overlap between sport and acting gets especially personal when he remembers coaching John David Washington and seeing Denzel Washington in football-parent mode.

That connection has carried beyond the full episode: the accompanying Denzel-titled extract currently draws more daily views than any other upload on the channel. In the comments beneath the interview, viewers single out Hardwick's acting and greet him by his familiar Power identity, Ghost.

Moss also asks about playing Cassius Clay Sr. in The Greatest. Later, Hardwick explains his objections to Ghost's ending in Power, before a playlist game turns the conversation toward music for scenes, college memories and driving.

Elsewhere, Good Juju Bad Juju considers Luka Dončić's MVP prospects and his split from LeBron James. It joins the Hardwick uploads among the channel's busiest videos right now.

Channel-wide daily views are more than double their usual level, although subscribers were unchanged over the week. Complex Bets remains the smallest channel in its nearby-sized sports-media group; New York Post Sports and Mina Kimes - ESPN are also drawing substantially busier-than-usual daily audiences. Here, the week's distinctive thread is Hardwick's ability to connect the locker room, the set and the people who helped him between them.
