About the episode
This week, Andre and Evan recap the first two games of the playoff series between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzles. They analyze the Draymond's ejection, Gary Payton II's elbow injury, and the ways they believe that the NBA has manufactured a rivalry between the two teams that in some ways is not good for the game as a whole (0:37). The NFL Draft becomes a topic of conversation and Andre and Evan share stories of their respective draft experiences while Evan advises young players not to bring significant others to sit with them at that table (10:36). Next the guys revisit LSU's former coach Will Wade's firing and build their own team in the absence of LSU having one of their own (17:13). Lastly, the guys prepare for their guest as they discuss the business deal that they would negotiate if the NBA approach them to become the logo. The perfect segue to bringing on the logo himself to discuss the evolution of basketball, his continued love for the Lakers and how he was drafted 2nd and didn't find out until the day after the draft. Jerry also shares gems on how to evaluate talent and build a winning team as well as discusses the formation and history of the players union (35:05). Learn more about your ad choices.
