Recap
PFT CommenterLeBron James is the actual General Manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers
It's funny because people do make the joke that LeBron James is the GM of the Cavaliers, but you can tell from some of the trades. Like the Channing Frye trade, you can tell which one's not a LeBron trade. It's like if you listen to a Beatles album, you're like, Ringo wrote that song. I can tell that's a Ringo special.
Big CatPhil Jackson is dangerously close to tarnishing his NBA legacy
Phil Jackson, I think we've said this on this podcast, but he is dangerously close to tarnishing your legacy territory... as himself. Phil Jackson, his legacy as an NBA guy, mind, player, coach, GM... You always remember the last thing you did, and if he trades Porzingis and continues to make the worst team in the NBA even worse, that's some legacy talk.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterJoe Biden will eventually run for President
The big one is Joe Biden... He said, I have no intention of running for president, but I'm a great respecter of fate. So that is, I love that line. I too am a great respecter of fate... Joe Biden is only running for president if God tells him he should. And then once God tells him he should, well, what are you going to do?
Mount Rushmore
PFT CommenterWikipedia is the greatest website of all time
My number one is Wikipedia. The best website of all time. I don't think I even need to explain it. We have a Wikipedia club.
Interview
Ryen RussilloHarry Giles has the potential to be a late first-round All-Star
I could definitely cheat and say Harry Giles, the freshman at Duke, because he's done the ACL thing twice. He's probably going to go in the 20s... But he was the number one high school recruit by some rankings when he went into Duke... From a talent standpoint, [he] is the most likely one.
Ryen RussilloJonathan Isaac is the Tyrus Thomas of the 2017 NBA Draft
If you're giving me that comp, it's probably Jonathan Isaac from Florida State. Because on the high side of things, when you watch him and it's good, he's seven feet... he can shoot from three... when he's right, it is so impressive that you're sitting there and you're going, wait a minute, how come this guy's not going number one?
Ryen RussilloLuke Kennard will be drafted by the Pistons at pick 12
I don't think [Luke Kennard] gets past Detroit at 12.
Hmm
Big CatCody Bellinger is definitely on steroids
Cody Bellinger, Los Angeles Dodgers phenom. He just hit his 21st home run of the season... I think if he stays on this pace, he's going to hit like 58 home runs or something, huh? ... That's kind of what Cody's doing with steroids. Because you're not allowed to use them at all. They test you all the time.
Trouble In Paradise
Big CatJim 'Bones' Mackay was Phil Mickelson's personal bookie
Phil Mickelson and his caddy, Bones... they are splitting up. I mean, we all know why, right? Two reasons. One, Phil didn't go to the U.S. Open... and two, Bones was probably Phil's bookie, and Phil probably can't gamble anymore.
Guys On Chicks
Big CatWomen carry up to two liters of extra blood during their periods
It's actually a fact. Women during their periods are carrying up to two liters more blood than the average human.
