Muggsy Bogues and Mick Foley on 90s Hornets, Hardcore Matches, and NBA Playoffs
Big Cat and PFT are grinding in the studio at 12:30 in the morning because the NBA playoffs are in full swing and the energy is electric. The Lakers looked like they found their pulse against the Suns, mostly because Anthony Davis decided to actually show up and play like a superstar after a dismal Game 1.
PFT CommenterThe Lakers are unbeatable if Anthony Davis is making his three-pointers
Anthony Davis, if he doesn't make all those three-pointers, it's a much different game. You can't beat the Lakers if Anthony Davis is wet from three.
While the Suns took Game 1, PFT had a theory that LeBron James might just be playing with his food. It's the ultimate veteran move: give the young guys a little taste of victory and then snatch their souls once you've figured out their defensive rotations.
PFT CommenterLeBron James intentionally lets opponents win Game 1 in early playoff rounds to give them false confidence
If it's in the first or second round, [LeBron] is like, I'm going to let them get a little confidence, maybe run their way out of the series tonight. Let them try too hard in Game 1.
The Nets are Inevitable
Over in the East, the Brooklyn Nets are making everyone else look like they’re playing a different sport. Between KD, Kyrie, and James Harden, it feels like an actual glitch in the Matrix. Hank is ready to call them the G.O.A.T. squad, and it’s getting harder to argue with him.
HankThe 2021 Brooklyn Nets are the greatest team ever assembled
The Nets look like the greatest team ever assembled tonight... Ever... No hyperbole.
Big Cat thinks the only way to stop this juggernaut involves a lot of off-court distractions, specifically involving James Harden and some of New York's finest late-night establishments. PFT is even more bullish, wondering if anyone can even take a single game off them before they reach the Finals.
PFT CommenterThe Brooklyn Nets might go undefeated on their way to the NBA Finals
I was wrong in the past. Nets might not lose a game going into the finals. I just don't see how it happens [that they lose].
Short Kings and Hardcore Legends
Our first guest, Muggsy Bogues, joined the show to talk about the legendary 90s Hornets and his incredible 44-inch vertical. He’s the ultimate short king who managed to thrive in a league of giants. When the conversation turned to the G.O.A.T. debate, Muggsy didn't hesitate, citing his old buddy MJ's lack of any real weakness.
Muggsy BoguesMichael Jordan is the GOAT over LeBron because he has no skill deficiencies
MJ always is going to be there at the forefront... MJ is my guy... for me, [LeBron] can't, it's the skill set. And it's the skill set that separates them from me. And MJ has no deficiencies when it comes to the game of basketball on both ends of the floor.
Then we had Mick Foley, aka Mankind, to talk about his legendary career and the toll it took on his body. He’s the undisputed king of taking bumps, from Hell in a Cell to thumbtacks. Mick was surprisingly open about his "unlikely build" and how his success changed the landscape for future wrestlers who didn't look like action figures.
Mick FoleyKevin Owens might not have had a WWE career without my success
I think I opened the door for unlikely builds to get a better look at WWE. You know, a guy like Kevin Owens may not have gotten that look had it not been for the success that I had.
Hot Seat, Cool Throne and Chafing
In a classic Hot Seat, Cool Throne, the guys checked in on the Brooks vs. Bryson rivalry. PFT is genuinely concerned for Bryson's health, mostly because of the 100-pound hammer curls he's doing for the Gram with absolutely atrocious form.
PFT CommenterBryson DeChambeau is going to get injured due to terrible lifting form
He's got bad form. He's going to get injured. Terrible form. I don't want him to get injured, but he's going to get injured. He was trying to do hammer curls... with 100 pounds just for the gram. He was using his shoulders. Popcorn muscles.
Big Cat also used his Hot Seat to target a massive fraud in Philadelphia. A 600-foot cheesesteak was promised, but the execution was nothing short of a culinary crime against the city of brotherly love.
Big CatA 600-foot cheesesteak made of individual subs is a total fraud
It's a bunch of regular cheesesteaks, footlong cheesesteaks stacked up next to each other. It's ridiculous to say... If you make a 600-foot... it has to be connected.
We wrapped things up with some Guys on Chicks, including a deep dive into the physical toll of being a sports fan. Big Cat made a compelling case for why sitting on a couch for 48 hours straight watching football is essentially a feat of human endurance on par with the world's toughest triathlons.
Big CatWatching sports all weekend on the couch is as physically and mentally taxing as completing an Ironman
I would put up a guy sitting on a couch and watching an entire slate of college football on Saturday and an entire slate of NFL football on Sunday... I would put that up there with the Iron Man. I really would. Obviously not physically as taxing, but mentally far more taxing.
If you see a 600-foot sandwich that is actually just 600 individual sandwiches, call the authorities immediately.
