Description
We open the show this week with disappointment, as Rob lost a Los Angeles area Emmy to the Dodgers, after being nominated for his work with the Lakers. We’re also joined by writer Scoop Jackson, who talks about coming up in the NBA about the same time as Robert Horry – as Scoop started writing for Slam right after Rob got his first title in Houston. We also joke about Scoop being a Knicks fan, as Scoop says they won’t win anything until James Dolan is gone. Since we’ve all had the experience of seeing sports from behind-the-scenes, we discuss the awe of professional athletes that turned us into sports fans as young kids. Scoop shares his experience about meeting Dr. J as a young reporter and how an autographed basketball had his friends swooning over him. Plus, Rob and Scoop both have a LOT to say about Paul Pierce’s declaration that he’s better than Dwyane Wade, with Scoop saying that Paul would have to win with half a Shaq to really match Wade. We also get an incredible story from Scoop about Dwyane Wade in the 2006 NBA Finals, where Wade was sick in Games 1 and 2 and never told anyone, but told Scoop he was going to take over in Game 3 – which he sure did. We also break down Jaylen Brown’s supermax extension, as Scoop says the Celtics need to win a title, and these huge contracts are like anchors on the back end of these huge deals. There’s also some talk on Bronny’s cardiac arrest, a Big Shot of the Week for an Indiana construction worker, and Scoop hangs out for a test of his southern knowledge in a round of Walmart or Waffle House.
