Speaking basketball podcast, my name is Ben. Today, I'm going to be is each other's podcast this week you can check out our episode of Dunned which is it's in intermission right now we're talking about the the greatest teams of the decade for the 2010s yeah that was a really fun show to do and so much fun that we couldn't

complete it an hour and a half. No so hopefully maybe next week I can nail you down here right now actually maybe if we get everyone thinking that it's going to happen next week then maybe I can speak it into existence.

You're gonna you're gonna pull that on me right here. We will figure out when we're gonna come back and do that. I needed the intermission to re-gathere my thoughts, but today something equally as special, the next installment of the Great Debate series, and I asked

Nate without realizing that all these words rhymed, Nate Great Debate, which is what I'm

titling this podcast in my little notes here.

Five-year-old Nate would have been very angry at you for making fun of me.

Well, it's a fanatic observation.

Somehow I was such an insecure child that when just adults or whatever would call me

Nate the Great I would just like get really annoyed because I was convinced that

they were just being sarcastic. Were you were you always tall? for my age yeah although I did I was like one of the

taller kids and then between eighth grade and sophomore year I went from 5 to 6.5 and I gained about 5 pounds during that period.

But were you were you comfortable with that or was it did it become like a self-conscious let's go right to the

therapy session let's start the pod yeah no I I definitely liked being tall that was one thing

that I at least was able to glean some modicum of self-esteem from.

Okay, you seem very comfortable with it now.

For those who don't know, Nate is a good 6-6,

and that's no inflated NBA height with shoes either.

Today, speaking of tall people and the NBA, the great debate discussion...

So we're not starting with Barclay?

Yeah, I think, I actually think we should start with Barclay. We're gonna talk about power forwards, the three I wanted to stack up

and wanted Nate to come in here and give his opinions on as well as we go through.

Charles Barclay, Carl Malone,
