In this episode, we discuss: * Draymond and The Punch* Is the Bay Area media soft? Compared to what?* Toy Story is like Draymond/Poole* Why it was tough for a media startup to get a foothold in LA* My own conflicts of interest and how they intersect with a Klutch story* Andy talks about “Podmond” Green* Saam’s take: Was Barry Bonds a bigger star in his day than Steph Curry in his day? * Andy hates weed, is the anti-KD* Did the league back LeBron over Steph? How’d it go?* Can the NBA make new household names or are those days gone?
