Isaiah Thomas looks like he's still in his 30s, I love it 😂💯
He likes men too
It’s Isiah btw
*Isiah
His teeth fascinate me. That’s some high-gleam toothpaste!
@@LeChina y’all weirdos always bringing up the most useless information. True or not nobody asked and guess what nobody cares but you
I love hearing hall of famers talk basketball instead of nobodies.
makes a hella of a difference doesnt it...
100% agree. Their opinion holds more weight to me than any of those hot take radicals who never played in the NBA on ESPN
@@fputulin1 skip springs to mind
I hate Stephen A Smiths takes

Love it how Isiah kept using Shaq’s history as examples to counter Shaq arguing back 😂
Top tier strategy
I loved it!
😂
Isaiah was always a brainy guy. Don't like his church tone usually, but in this particular one he got relaxed and obviously forgot all about it. It was probably most 80's Isaiah in talk you'll bump into nowadays.
If that was Chuck, he would have ate him up and showed him his rings.
I hope people don’t dislike Zeke because of the mj beef. Every time I hear him speak (even around other Hall of famers) he get the upmost respect and he always dropping knowledge
Even MJ says Isiah is the second best PG in history
Ruined CBA, never surpass 1st round at Indiana after replaced Larry Bird, and his disasterclass at Knicks
I like Zeke and Jordan. Again Zeke is arguable the 2nd greatest pg of all time even Jordan agrees. Zeke basketball iq is off the charts; is up their with Larry, Magic, Mj and LBJ. People really shouldn’t be trying to add fire to the Zeke and Mj beef. Listen whatever beef they got going on is their beef. At the end of the day all you can try to do is understand it and learn from it. Peace
And he had to go through the 3 greatest teams of all times to get his 2 chips Magic Lakers Bird Celtics Jordan Bulls Moses Malone 76rs
@@RafsanS15 And a horrible GM!
Could listen to Zeke talk ball all day.
You ain't got a job bro?
@@369pendulum what does my comment have to do with whether I have a job or not. Please elaborate "bro"
Zeke? Is that Isiah's nickname?
@@randallanno2327 yup

If a FORMER BAY BOY PISTON player says "you was fouled hard," there is no question about it.
I like this Podcast it’s pretty dope. When Shaq said “you got to see if there’s some TRUTH in the criticism” I felt that.
I think that is why Ben is hurt and disrupted because it is truth in the critique, but the hate...death threats from a fanbase and a team/media seeming to egg them on...that is tough to want to continue playing through and for...but Bill Russell played for those demons in Boston even after they broke into his home and violated his bed...Got to rise above the hate. Hoping he can. To talented to give up, but if he is too sensitive to the hate where it makes him hate himself I wouldn't blame him from walking away from all together
@@kudabeen No it's cause his TEAMMATES and COACH threw him under the bus, yeah the fans' behavior added to the fuel but it's the teammates and coach that affected him. Like Isiah explained he did his job throughout the season, when he had a bad run they turned on him with the quickness and I bet they didn't say that sh** in the lockerroom; that's snake behavior. That's snake behavior.
@@TavaraTheLaughingLion ben through himself under the bus passing up open shots, not being aggressive.
@@lucasloucetios164 do u recall how Green and Harris were playing?
@@TavaraTheLaughingLion must be the internet in you that leads with "No" while agreeing LoL...no doubt. Embiid is a big snake...this season (due to his injury most likely over humility) Embiid is a better less selfish teammate. I can recall him screaming on younger teammates on the court for their mistakes and only paying lipservice to his own...Ben had that crazy close to the first season as the focal point ans won the Sixers 1st playoff game as the best player in that Process Sixer growth and Embiid started his campaign to compete as the guy...he would go to the media and talk about Ben not shooting and it being tough on him...meanwhile with Ben not being there he still floats on the perimeter
Notice how Shaq is letting IT talk uninterrupted? That's because Isiah Thomas is a HOF point guard who knows what point guards need to do in order to be successful.
Ben Simmons would be smart to listen.
Isiah is one of the last people anyone should be asking front office opinions on HOF or not. When it comes to playing/coaching sure but Front Office decisions no. His resume speaks to both.
@@AcerbicOrder stop being a hater...and read. he clearly said HOF point guard and what point guards should do!!
Yes... Isiah know bad moments " bad pass Bird intercepted, we lost the game" How the organization and players came around him and city of Detroit.
@@AcerbicOrder exactly he's a horrible GM brother ain't got a clue
yes sir
“I ain’t say I wear them” is the low key shadiest thing I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂😂
It was like a passive aggressive example starts at passive saying he bought them because he supports black business then aggressive with the quote you just said 🤣🤣
So nice hearing two gentleman talking calmly, making their point without yelling at each other.
Really appreciate Zeke’s perspective, he didn’t take the typical throw Ben under the bus, there were multiple parties at fault in this situation, I feel like the organization could have handled this better. Not to excuse Bens behaviour, but the organization should have shielded him, not expose him
To add I felt like Joel Embiid should have never said a word about Ben Simmons. None of his business and that’s your teammate. You’re suppose to have your teammates back.
They "shielded" him for 4 years. Embiid has a right to be mad when the second best player on the team refuses to address the one glaring flaw in his game for 4 years. And Doc defended his refusal to shoot and poor foul shooting to the point of losing credibility all season long. You can't honestly expect people to baby this man forever, while he releases video of himself working on his shot every off-season, but refuses to shoot in actual games.
@@JCPRuckus

@@JCPRuckus also, the whole team flew to la to try to get the guy to come back..... he refused to talk to them.
The Organisation that Daryl Morrey ever been part of always use players as scapegoat. that's how things were in Houston. instead of Organisation absorbing the criticism, they always find player to use.
Always loved Zeke...love him 100 times more now after what he said at the end of this podcast....
Jordan & Pippen may despise you but I got mad love for you Zeke!
You mean buying stuff according to owner's race? I like most of what he said in the inteview, but that's bull. Either the product is good or not; judge people by the merit of their character, not because their skin color matches yours....
@@Deadhammer218 MLK's words come from the notion that some day we'll live in a more ideal society where people get a fair shake from the start regardless of their race. In the reality we still live in however, white businesses generally get more financial backing than non-white ones. Isiah wants to help black businesses to level the playing field a bit. I don't begrudge him that.
Not that deep on the race thing … it so rare that a black person has the financial backing to start a business… he’s just trying to support or help in a small way… notice that both those brands failed( Ball & Marberry ) like you said lack of quality … but he did try to support in small way… he not going stop purchasing other products because they are not black own
@@megavolt67People create reality with their actions. "Level playing field"? You believe in treating people differently according to their race?
You really think that a white businessman is going to turn down funding a great product because the owner isn't white? People who have money to properly finance such endevours are counting on getting their money back, and only color they see is green.
Can you present some evidence that "white businesses" recieve more financial backing?
PS. I live in Poland, country that's 99% homogeneous, so I don't have any bias regarding the US.
Amazing takes. Especially Zeke’s comment about Magic practicing free throws. I hope this vid comes across Ben’s fyp.
i checked the stats, Magic was never bad at FT.. he was a 76% -91% FT shooter
@@KimmyR3 Magic also shot .875 in the 1980 Finals as a rookie including 14 for 14 in that legendary 42pts game with Kareem out.
@@KimmyR3 Not bad but 76 % for an elite point guard is poor in addition to him not being a great shooter from the floor. To improve 15 % from the floor is an incredible increase. I doubt many players have ever improved that much.
@@honestcomment862 yes, but that was on his 2nd and 3rd yr. im also not trying to argue.. zeke's story just got me intrigued so i checked because i can't imagine magic to be struggling with free throws.
Idk how Ben is. I doubt he check video about himself.
11:35 Get those Shaqs for $29, this is why I love Shaq man 🤣. Not too big to joke about himself
Beginning to end this whole segment was amazing
Isaiah Thomas put the entire situation in the proper perspective.
No he didn't
@@MacMM at all. Nothing he saying is true. He is making up his own facts.
Love Zeke but he dead wrong
I don't agree with his take. Ben has been critizised for YEARS for not working on his game and sixers had his back. And I don't think you can be a great point guard in modern NBA if you can't make jump shots.
dude was WAY wrong. Just trynna sound politically correct for a young brother.
The legends need to start having their own podcasts.
Isiah is the king of storytelling. Love it when the OGs tell what really happened during their time in the NBA.
I'm so glad Zeke gave Lavar his flowers. I still have by BBB sweatshirt from 2017. If I had the money, I would've got the shoes too. Lavar is a legend in the game. Nothing but respect for that man.
Bars!
💯💯
Legend how?
I bought a pair of the autographed BBBs - also to support a Black owned business.
@Mercy
You gullible simpleton. 🙄
I love the reference Shaq made about Lonzo in comparison to Ben. That was the perfect analogy. Ben Simmons should be ashamed of himself at this point. He isn't incapable of improving he's simply unwilling to try from what we've seen so far.
Maybe he is ashamed of himself.. maybe it really is all mental. Regardless of if it’s good or not he can shoot. His problem is he’s scared. the same reason he was scared to dunk / lay up in the play offs.
Fair enough if he’s lazy but he can clearly can shoot just not mentally.. hes the opposite to giannis. not everyone is built for the bright lights.
And the 76ers knew very well he couldn’t shoot when they gave him his huge contract.
Also, Ben is afraid of FTs. Look at Giannis. He's one of the best in the league and won a title. He was missing tons of FTs but he never stopped. He wasn't scared of missing. He just wanted to win
@@BlueHundred1 exactly what I mean.. it’s mentally.. giannis will miss 5 3’s in a row & still shoot a 6th.. even if he’s being booed or laughed at. Same with FT’s.
If Ben got it together mentally be whole different story.. just like Isiah said start with FT’s. even if you go 2-10 make them foul you or you go through them with Authority and dunk!
At the minute he’s stuck between being to sacred and not being all in.
thats the problem Ben thinks hes a superstar whos arrived Lonzo know he had work to do.
@@DigigodGamer he is a superstar though.. if from his debut he he still didn’t have a faraway or a jump shot or a 3. But had the right mentality like.. “Im that guy” the exact mindset of giannis.. mixed with his defence?!
You talking arguably HOF type player.
Just look at Kobe & jordan.. it’s the mindset that separates the good to the great.. the all star to the HOF.
Those are two great examples in Magic and Lonzo, you can see he has kept developing his game and that shooting form is looking great. He's going to be a huge factor for the bulls
Already is.
He’s definitely making an all defensive this year if he keeps it up
I knew Magic was right about Lonzo Ball, he's a very talented all-around player.....
#2 picks get to not be allstars and just play a role huh? After the hype, but a guy a year older should have it all figured out even having accomplished a lot more?
This really makes you appreciate the internet and this era. The amount of knowledge and experience these guys have, without social media we could never get our hands on these stories.
Shaq worked on his free throws. He knew it was a weakness. He never became good at it but he worked on it to help his team win.
Zeke is right, they dogged him when he was down. Especially Embiid, and after he himself had been unfit and injured the previous few years costing the team any chance. Zeke also right Simmons need to put in real work. Good analysis.
4 years, no offensive development. You can't hold your tongue forever when the second best player on your team won't work on the one glaring flaw in his game.
@@JCPRuckus to be fair what most people are saying it’s on management for letting him stay at the same level while treating him as a perennial all star
@@sangun123 it’s on both ends they definitely coddled him a bit too much but it’s also on him like cmon you play basketball! How do you not know how to shoot man.
Shaq is 100% on point about Lonzo Ball working on his jumper. The dude has improved and if you can't see that you're blind.
and yet he's only 4th banana on that Bulls team. He's basically a role player.
Lonzo got that mental toughness from his dad. Ben gots none
Shaq a 🤡
You just enjoying the circus 🎪 show
@@rd7651 what proves Lonzo is mentally tough? Shooting better as a role player in the regular season?...Ben is allstar all NBA all defense in regular season...avg a triple double in 1st round of Playoffs...but that's not mentally tough...yet Lonzo has done none of that...often injured, but he is tougher???
I think it hurt when Jimmy Butler went to the finals a year after Ben Simmons complained. Giannis won by mental toughness. Lonzo Ball worked on his shot. I think people don't respect a dude who has been coddled his entire career not working on his game. Doc Rivers sat on the sword the whole season and throughout the playoffs. He put the ball in his hands. How did Ben reward him?
He played scared in big moments when you had players like Trae Young playing twice Ben Simmons size. 76ers as management and leadership grouped failed Ben Simmons by coddling him his whole career and rewarding him with a huge contract. Ben Simmons has never been accountable to playing up to what we see other All Stars level. He plays just below All star level but expects All Star treatment.
All of these points you made, but didn't look at the numbers or actually games played.
Butler went to a squad people said were a dark horse to win it.
Giannas was the first option on his team and he was allowed to do whatever he wants.( simmons came in rookie of the year, 76ers winning with him, all star next.).
Lonzo isn't even nominated an all nba defensive team or an all star. Your comparing a role player who hasn't had a winning season to someone who's been winning since a rookie collecting accolades... Bruh
Trae young shot 38% for the whole series. How the heck is trae playing double his size while getting clamped by someone bigger. The 76ers were up by 25 gm7 before Ben simmons subbed out.
Doc rivers big moments ? He's known for blowing big moments. With that sentence cp3 and pg13 are bums.
Last, what do you want from Ben simmons he's the third highest paid player on his team , isn't the first option but fans keep wanting him to play like one.
@@grandmaster3211 lets play a game, it's called how far do i have to look in order to find an excuse for ben
@@grandmaster3211 lonzo is a way more complete player at this point because of his perimeter threat. If Simmons had just made his shooting league average he would dominate bc he's also a threat in the paint
@@grandmaster3211 Ben Simmons can't be the No 1 option because he is scared to handle the ball late in games.
That is why they put the ball in Jimmy's hands in the playoffs. I think it is funny when there are expectations to play like an All Star in the playoffs. Has Ben ever lifted any of his teams, what did he do in College????
@@robertcammon5969 Let's not do what ifs. Ben hasn't been the number one option because he never came into a situation as the number one option.
First year rookie of the year next year fourth option with Jimmy butler Joel embid and Tobias Harris. That's like as if Kobe showing promise then next year he has scottie pippen, shaq, and Eddie Jones on his team as first options Oh wait... that actually did happen except for the pippen part.
Don't make up fake scenarios. He had 12 assist gm7. He's not afraid of the ball. College he got hurt dude, and still the first pick for a reason. You can't teach 6'11 with speed and court vision hoping he becomes a decent jason kidd shooter one day.
Isiah is articulate, intelligent, and arguably the best point guard of all time...this interview really helps highlight his wisdom and supportiveness!
One of the best of all time, gotta add Jordan and Magic to that conversation
@@rucianapollard7098 Jordan was a shooting guard. But yes about Magic.
That's why he has a graduate degree in education.
Zeke the most underrated professional basketball player in history. Defeated Prime Jordan, Magic, Bird.
Shaq knows the deal.
He is loved here in Detroit and he is why we have our titles even 04 championship he influenced joe D to build that team as well. The best.
The same could be said old Larry beating on prime pistons squad
Lots of respect ✊ with this two legands they played for the love of the game.
Say what you want about Zeke. That man went out and bought a LEAGUE. He also supports his comrades by supporting their businesses...RESPECT!
I love hearing Isiah Thomas talk basketball. He always brings a very insightful perspective on topics. One of my favorite players and people for sure. And he makes a great point with the Ben Simmons situation. But I believe Ben should also be real with himself and try to improve on his game.
He needs a dude like Isaiah Thomas to guide him especially with the history and experience that legend has. He made a lot of good points in this show. The dude won a championship during Bird, Magic, Olajuwan, and Jordan's era for crying out loud 😂
Wow, what a great interview demonstrating how these two players have evolved in their careers. Shaq is a commentator. Isiah is a management leader. Its just a completely different understanding. Fascinating.
Isiah is truly one of the best point guards in the history of the NBA but the man was trash as an Executive of the Knicks
Facts
Exavtly,, lol
Can’t blame him specifically the knicks been trash cuz of a lot of other factors till lately
He had a eye for talent tho
The knicks was already trash after the year "2000" first round exit in "2004" lol and didn't make the playoffs till 2011
Isiah Thomas’ perspective is very insightful
This is such a good take and advice from zeke. I hope Ben see this video and take his advice into heart.
I Love Isiah Thomas. He is getting better and better with age. God Bless Him.
Isaiah Thomas is ALWAYS dropping some type of knowledge....He is so precise in his analyses and had an amazing career to back up his talk...
This is some of the best NBA analysis I've heard in a long time. ESPN/FS1 is baby brain. This is great.
Outside of the Jordan Beef Zeke is a really great guy and was a great player, he definitely loves the game and likes to share what he can to help new and current players
Jordan was/is a real a hole!! He has very few friends in the NBA, even guys he used to be friends with back in the day, like Charles Barkley
I just love how incredibly kind Isaiah is.
Don't let that smile fool you, my guy was a Stone Cold assassin back in the day 🔥
@@briananthony9955 reminds me of mike tyson savage at what they did but time humbles people
He has aged into a very classy guy. He was not a nice guy back in the day tho.
Isiah was a pest in the 80s.
Eyy good to see Uncle Zeke on here,love hearing his thoughts on things😎🍻🍺
This was a super dope segment! Isiah is one smooth cat and one classy legend. And Shaq, how can you not like Shaq? Not possible.
I totally agree with Isaiah’s logical-reasons and diagnosis. Sometimes a players potential for achieving their fully potential for greatness is hindered by the team . This is his best opportunity to really prove his point through his actions
awesome pod! love hearing Zeke's input
Loved this discussion. I understand the “Ben Simmons Situation” soooo much better. Thank you!! It was so interesting and comprehensive. It also had a beautiful flow.
Hearing the perspective of credible people make all the difference. I hadn't considered this angle cause of how the media was portraying this.
The same man who gave Jerome James a 5 year 60 million dollar contract btw
$30m but it was still ridiculous at the time

Find you a friend who sorts out and simplifies your murky situations the way Zeke just did here. Respect.
👏👏👏 The quality of this show was perfect. It wasn't a gossip show or a finger pointing show or a "wordy" narrative show full of giggling. It was a show about resolution via support. This is a good cast. #Isaiah_Thomas has always looked for the glass half full, and he has always worked on/with young Players & Prospects from there. 🏀
When Isaiah Thomas speaks, I’m listening and I hear him 👌🏿
Great great points Isiah!!! The lady was on some irrelevant superficial nonsense while the guys came straight from the game with real receipts. "Cause I support black businesses"! Shut her up Isiah! Respect.
Im glad you caught that...I thought I was the only one.
It’s not just that series that started this, Ben been saying he’s gonna work on his foul shooting in the off season for three years and he doesn’t.
Need more episodes asap. Big fella work ethic is out of this world!
I love to hear more podcasts like this one. I enjoy them all don’t get me wrong but I would love more of these one on one with hall of famers and players.
Love Detroit Pistons. Love Shaq.
Thomas coming across as an absolute gentleman here
Yea cause Isiah has a very good history of putting teams together, it's not like an entire league folded under his watch....
Isaiah was making good points talking ab the free throws
Facts and I bet it’ll lead to him pullin up for middys as well
he was talking about a whole different era though
Zeke has had the best take on the simmons situation! Very real and emotionless
GREAT conversation!
Isiah was great. He just provided a wealth of insight to both co-hosts and also supports black owned businesses.
This was a GREAT clip. I didn't want it to be over lol Love Shaq & Zeke sittin' down chopping it up.
Man, I love Isaiah... He stay 'Hood.. he stay Chicago salute gratitude bless up
Dang he wasnt lying about Magic. I just checked his stats and he was a 70-80% FT shooter, then it gradually kept going up to the point that he was a 90% FT shooter.
Isiah is so intelligent and you can see how much more smarter he is about the game of basketball and the game of life.
Shaq is soaking this up and learning a lot
I.T. A real one. Coming from a Pacers fan who hated to see him leave!!! He really goat stature
respect for Isiah at the end
Shaq was totally different. He had heart, a great big heart and he was and is loved to this day.
Ben Simmons doesn't have any heart!!! He loves the celebrity NBA star reputation, but not willing to do the work on the court!!
Truly a Great interview..love the example used so you get it. Isaiah is TRULY a Beast at GM and a FUBU mindset 🙏
Yep, Magic spent the whole summer improving his free throws. Ben's had 4 of these summers so far Isiah and what's he done to improve his free throws? Nothing. Magic Johnson said he would play for nothing. He just loved the game, he was motivated, he was a hard worker, he was a leader in his rookie year! You couldn't find two more un-alike people.
But u just said Shaq didn't improve. You don't know Ben hasn't tried to improve his. Quit acting like you know this man.
Best take on this situation yet.
What a great take by the great Isiah Thomas.
Love listening to Isaiah Thomas very knowledgeable 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Speaking to Zeke's point of the 76ers teammates not insulating Ben to try to help him, they see him every day and know the work he does or DOESN'T put in. People that respected your work ethic would break their backs to help you. They loved Jimmy.
how hard did embiid practice back int he day? he never did and would come to game eating cheesburgers. i don't wanna hear that.
@@iluvugoldenblueEmbiid has been a completely different player over the last 2-3 years.
They loved Jimmy but they didn’t want to sign him back.
@@23lacross The team wanted to keep him. The front office wanted to appease Ben.
@@jalenad11 Zekes points were for management not the teammates. If they loved Jimmy they would’ve brought him back without a question. Well tried Jimmy didn’t want back as well.
I think that the Sixers wanted to patch things up with Ben, but Ben keeps rejecting them.
That's exactly what happened. Idk why people keep making up stuff about how the Sixers could have possibly done something wrong.
All this negative media coming from the club. Why..... It's been coming since the off season. If they wanted him to play they should of recruited him like Zeke said. Thinking you can push someone with mental illness into a situation is just plain silly and potentially disastrous..
@@Alberthoward3right9up nope. All of the crazy stories this offseason have come from Ben and Klutch. They made the trade request public and leaked all kinds of reasons about why he wants out. All the Sixers have done is fine him for not showing up to work and for not cooperating. If something is preventing a player from playing, they have to give the team basic information from a doctor stating so. And Ben still has not. They've met with him and tried to re-recruit, his teammates even wanted to fly out and he told them to stay home.
One of Isiah’s main points was that over the break Daryl Morey should have personally gone and seen Ben.
@@Alberthoward3right9up I mean he avoided them all offseason when they tried to get in contact with him...... That was in the media all summer.
" For Us , By Us " . Isiah dropping gems . Somebody forward/SHARE this vid with Brotha Simmons .
:O TNT finally uploaded a video in 1080p? :O big love!
Isiah Thomas was absolutely correct in his assessment, Shaq was speaking in an insensitive way.
Great vid.. love actual players (legends) talking about bball... more! :-)
Commentary is much better when it comes from people that actually did it! At the highest level!
That's all we want in Philly is for make his FTs we been asking for him to do that since after his rookie year, it's not about shooting 3s it's about having a Philly heart
Lets be honest. Ben aint Philly. We aint too kind to spoiled, sensitive dudes, unwilling to work hard.
Lonzo got that strong father that helped him.
ISAIAH THOMAS MADE GREAT POINTS!!!!!
I can hear him talk Basketball All The Time
We need more Big Guy good job 💪🏿
Zeke is speaking from experience.
He made an error that gave the ball away to the Celtics the last play of a playoff series.
He's right, but I feel Simmons should rise above it.
Thank god iziah finally says what I’ve been saying
I could listen to Mr Isiah talk all day.
Zeke right, fixing free throws ah shut all this down. He'd b at the the line at least 10 times a game the way he play. 6 -10 extra points a game
Isiah Thomas is speaking straight facts 💯💪🏾🔥✊🏾🙏🏾👌🏾👍🏾💎
Isaiah would never support jordans😂😂😂
Nike isn't a black owned business.
making it in the NBA is already a blessing just improve and work hard ! its just that simple !
Always appreciated how Shaq has nothing but respect for Isaiah.
It's foolish to compare Shaq to Ben Simmons, the Diesel was averaging 30 points,12 rebounds and 3 blocks, if Ben did the same nobody would say he is the problem lol
U really wasn't listening huh
@@websterjohnson3575 I most definitely was, but I was also playing call of duty, so what's your point ?
The point is you missed the whole point smh
@@websterjohnson3575 Instead of acting like a toxic gf, you can actually write your point
I'm gonna ignore the childish name calling cause that beneath me anyway the point they were trying to make was even great players like Shaq had flaw in games; tho when media n fans criticize him neither his team nor front office publicly shunned him as did the 76ers did to Ben so what was saying understand y Ben acting way he is.
NO ONE HIM N SHAQ ARE ON THE LEVEL AS PLAYERS
Thomas as a GM has bankrupt everything he's ever touched.
Great discussion!!!
The leader of the champion Detroit Pistons, "Bad Boy" is an astute observer of basketball talent with suburb incite on management and team operations! It was an absolute please to hear him expounding about Ben Simmons and the Sixers bad handling of the Simmons situation! He was spotted on in his assessment of Ben Simmons being a vital part of some other teams success if he works on his foul shots! I totally enjoyed the Magic Johnson comparison that resulted in an MVP upon improving his game!
These examples by zeke and Shaq were sweet
Is Zeke the Yoda of the NBA? So much insight and wisdom
Isiah Thomas opinion is absolutely spot on! Simmons team dogged him big time. 75% of them were using Simmons to cover their own backside. Issue with a trade is that Morey wants $5 for $1.
"And lying!" 🤣 Dat was crazy!! lol Otherwise great points.
Replace the woman with Ernie Johnson, add a couple more retired players, then viola it's NBA Open Court
