it’s now time for the main events I want to hear your guys’ hottest takes anything NBA related whatever you feel strong about passionate about let us hear 2025 Champions first father and son Duo to do it LeBron and bronnie James when you think about Championship contenders I I can hear you I understand why you believe LeBron and Luca are like a top Duo and why this team is or should be Championship favorites but you need to slow down because the Boston Celtics the champion of last year exists Nicole

y still here and I didn’t even get to mention the number one team the best team in the NBA as we speak right now they’re here and they’re miles up miles Head to Toes shoulders all at way better than every team in the NBA and they’re just so many so much more onto the Lakers roster that needs to be fulfilled don’t listen to that don’t respond obviously this guy he’s a Hawks fan he doesn’t know what he’s talking about nobody’s defending the Luca dones LeBron James pick and roll nobody’s defending Austin Reed is the

third option Alex L damned it doesn’t matter the offense will be too much to deal with you’re right they’re already off to a great start man as soon as that chemistry clicks even more it’s game over we don’t pay attention to the second game we just watched the first one that happened within 5 years the WNBA is going to surpass the NBA in terms of viewership in the finals we’re very close already for the regular season in terms of us viewership WBA viewership is at 1.19 million viewers per regular season game NBA is at 1.4

million finals there’s still a bit of a gap but that’s my H take listen you clearly came prepared you got some numbers with you right you will not set me up to talk down on the WNBA you got it w take let’s go and ler dream no Valkyries we’re in the city we’re in the bay WBA Valkyries I gave you one win I can’t give you another take what you can get this year 2025 NBA champions the Detroit Pistons listen would somebody else like to go and give us their hot take we have the first time All-Star Kate Cunningham

Elite Talent leading this team right filled with a lot of help and floor space finally for the first time in the NBA in his NBA career right last year worst team in the NBA this year vying for top four in the East if I don’t say that’s the biggest Improvement we’ve seen from any NBA team in the entire NBA I would be remiss if we’re talking about basketball and I say that is enough to say that the Pistons are going to win this Championship this year you are wearing a warrior jacket and shirt wh

the hell is we who the hell is we hey man I’m here to I’m here I’m here to cheer on of course our Warrior Allstar Seth Curry but also I’m here to rep my boy K Cunningham in the city of Detroit all right you believe in Tobias Harris like that H exactly do you believe in Tobias Harris like that Tobias Harris has been one of the best additions for the Pistons this season man yeah coming from Philly it’s a far cry but you know what he’s been consistent something we can’t even say for Luca healthwise we

can’t even say that for Anthony Davis he’s hasn’t been that consistent Tobias Harris has been one of the most consistent players on the Pistons to this day I understand it now you’re a pons fan you watched 25 straight losses last year you’ve watched five straight losing seasons in which you got the number five pick multiple times and not the number one pick when you expect to get better that is true your basketball life isn’t good buying for the fourth seed is basically a 3p to you so I understand where you’re coming from you

will leave this season as happy as a team with the championship and I can respect that for you there we go the era of like Superstar players are over this might be the first actual W take up here teams are going towards more like balance everybody’s more balanced and better I don’t think like with the departure of KD Lebron and stepson I think those going to be like the last real Superstars as far as the individual that really carry a team to the finals and basically solely win it themselves obviously some St championships but you

know what I’m saying I think like Luca Shay Anthony all these guys are great they’re really really good but are they good enough to carry a team right I don’t think so that’s just my high take we’re uring an era where three big threes aren’t going to be a thing anymore with the new salary cap rules the second apron it’s not rewarding to build so topheavy you need a bountiful amount of good players and often times that means two plus four other really good players exactly if we pretend the top five players in the world don’t

exist you are right I just don’t think these younger players are as good as we think who do you hate hate yes who do you hate is it Tatum Andy Edwards I don’t hate none of them they just not as good as the other players you feel me this take stems from somewhere we need we need to get to the bottom of this I think the Boston Cel are a perfect example right it’s Tatum it’s Tatum we got him if he’s the best player on the championship team he’s not going to carry the team himself I think it’s the era we going into a better allaround

teams and not as many Superstar Leed teams I agree with that so my question to you is who’s the best young player 25 26 best younger J T better than LCA Jason Tatum oh oh we thought you were a Tatum hater you’re a hidden Tatum Glazer never mind TI just Chang your take as an L tag you I thought you were on the right side maybe if luuka gets more motivated over time and gets his body in shape and I think the trade may help him but I think Jason Tatum all around right now he’s young I mean he’s obviously the

best right now now is this fat shaming on here n it’s work at the okay fair enough fair enough Steph Curry is going to get his fifth ring okay this year this year or next year okay explain to me why tell me why you’re feeling so good about the team now I think we’re doing well with uh Jimmy Butler and he just brings a different type of uh energy off like to the team yeah well I’m certainly glad Steph Curry has another teammate who can dribble so I’m happy that you’re happy as a clear Warriors fan I’m I’m glad that you have

a reason to wake up in the morning and know that your guy Steph Curry will have a good day too I’m glad that he’s not going through the gutter playing next to a bunch of players with no handles leaving him out to die and double teamed every play so if you want to take that to mean they can win a championship I won’t argue with you I want you to have a good basketball life let’s [Laughter] go it’s real simple Lakers Celtics in the finals Luca debron Braun to bronny game-winning shot NBA championship this guy has the scripts

that’s how you feel that’s right we got the script baby LCA to Bron braon to bronny hits a three game-winning Championship winning shot MVP bronny James they couldn’t even beat the jazz bronny is going to be the MVP of the G League he’s going to get called up get real quality minutes Luca debron did did you not see what he did to the Jazz they they just lost by 20 that that’s okay though jash MZ W take I agree with you it’s written in the stars the storyline makes all the sense in the world gold

versus green this is why the trade happened I’m with you thank you exactly if nobody outse understands you I understand you see you feel LeBron love you feel the James family love that’s what I’m talking about I feel it I feel it deep inside me bronny James baby MVP finals okay hold on hold on hold on so you actually think they’re going to be able to make the finals this year yes it’s goat DNA do you know how many people are born with goat DNA to Bryce Brony I love that but what about the actual other like four players on the

basketball court it’s goat DNA I see what type of conversation we’re having now it’s in the blood goat cheese in his veins I’m I’m with it there we go baby it’s in his blood goat DNA goat cheese cottage cheese you got it I feel like this era of basketball is probably the purest form of basketball ever what does pure mean to you uh I think it’s just uh freedom of movement uh ability and I think just the way the guys are just opening up opening up the game for everybody right so what would you say to

the people who say that today’s game is soft I think they’re tripping they’re probably not skilled I think as we’ gone on in eras we’re just getting more skill more skillful yeah so are you telling me that Charles Oakley couldn’t play today Ben Wallace couldn’t play today oh no Ben Wallace amazing player I think the fact that he has he’s he has that like uh lateral movement huge he’d be able to last Charles Oakley same thing but like certain other players n this is a great take this is a legitimate W take there’s

so much crying and just hand ringing by people above the age of 50 about why today’s NBA isn’t like what it used to be the players are better there’s going to be a difference in the game it’s not going to look aesthetically like it was when you were a kid it’s still better all the reasons you said defenses are so much more complex offenses are so much more complex the quality of the players is a million times better you could watch those old defenses that were so daunting in the’80s those are running drop coverage all game not

defending any Shooters clogging the paint you would put the worst team in the NBA out there today with the x’s and no of today’s game and they would smoke them LeBron is not the goat Michael Jordan’s the goat okay why tell give me give me your case so my goat is on three main axis it’s it’s uh their they winning their stats and then their legacy on the game their impact on the game so I think between Michael Jordan and LeBron James winning is the easiest right six championships versus five 6 and0 in the finals never been to a game

seven that’s easy stats people are going to talk about LeBron’s got the most points all time but they’re going to talk about the stat whatever yeah but but uh what I care the most about is like on a per game basis who was better like per season who was better Michael Jordan 30 plus points per game for his entire career and keep in mind he lost like four and a half Seasons during his Prime and so I mean that’s like you can’t beat that and then on the last one Legacy on the game impact on the game

no one has had a more Global impact on the game than Michael Jordan right the 92 Olympics in Barcelona really brought the NBA to a global stage and you know LeBron has been a great face for the NBA but in terms of like the impact on kids and players I’d argue that Steph Curry has had a bigger impact on people playing the game the way people play the game something that’s super underrated about LeBron and how he influenced inces the game is how he forces other teams to look for guys who can do similar things to him whether it

be pass rebounding and shooting being connective in all three ways of the NBA court there’s the Aaron Gordon of the world there’s the Jaylen Johnson of the world there’s the Draymond greens of the world every team in order to be successful to a certain degree you need some 66 67 68 maybe 69ine guy who can do a plethora of those things and that’s the biggest and most underrated aspect of influence in LeBron’s career he said all the wrong names do you like James Harden no not not really okay is James

Harden good James Harden’s good yeah LeBron influence is Luca dones good Luca Don good LeBron influence I I’d argue Michael has had more impact on on those play like every player out of the 2000s the 2010s watched Michael Jordan growing up I’m not saying necessarily Steph had more impact than LeBron I’m saying like I I think Michael Jordan like every player LeBron every player in the 2000s 2010s watched watch Michael Jordan growing up all I’m hearing is back in the day there was less media aroun

everybody had to watch the same four channels and Michael Jordan was on TV a lot all I’m hearing is democratization of media has made you think Michael Jordan is this all-encompassing figure cuz people would have had less to do back then do you think uh Lebron and the 90s is better than Michael Jordan in the 2000s 2010s uh is LeBron being on the bulls with Scotty Pippen and Dennis Rodman yeah you could switch teams yes yep I do I don’t know I don’t think so I mean there’s a reason why like do you

think michaelan win more with the Cavs like if you think about the 90s you only think about Michael Jordan nobody knows who Clyde Drexler is nobody talks about Charles Barkley you know nobody alaj won won two championships during that time nobody talks about Hakeem I’m hearing LeBron had more competition I’m hearing the names in the ’90s didn’t have on Steph Curry and Harden maybe Michael was just that much better than everybody right if you think about like how much better a player is like standard

deviations above the norm I’d say Michael Jordan was probably way more above than the average during that time right LeBron better
