Description
On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on the debut of the Brooklyn Nets Big 3 of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving. The Nets defense was mostly atrocious in their double-overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but we did get a glimpse of the offensive juggernaut the trio could be become as Durant and Kyrie combined for 75 points and Harden had another triple-double. And, you know another Big 3 who had a bit of clunker in their debut? The 2010 Miami Heat with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Yeah, those guys turned out pretty good. Later, Producer Rob joins the show to help Jason make sense of the unbelievable start by Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic, the general malaise of Philadelphia 76ers all-star Ben Simmons and the injury status of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Finally, New Zealand Breakers owner and former college basketball star Matt Walsh swings by to discuss how life was able to get back to normal so quickly in New Zealand even in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, how an American from Philadelphia came to be the owner of a professional basketball team in a different country, why he views his team as the 31st NBA franchise, how his own personal experiences playing basketball overseas helped him on the ownership side, what it was like playing on the star-studded Florida Gators team featuring guys like Al Horford, Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer and David Lee, how he was able to get highly-touted high school prospect RJ Hampton to bypass college and play a year with the Breakers, why he's still planning on having his club play preseason games with NBA teams moving forward, and much more!
