Hello, welcome to the Hoop Collective podcast. We talk about the NBA. Hope everybody is

0:10.8

having a lovely holiday season. We are going to talk today as this sort of a special podcast

0:17.6

where I'm just going to be honest. We didn't tape this yesterday. We taped this a few days ago

0:23.3

just to be transparent. We like to do that. We all want to spend some time with our families

0:28.0

over the holidays, but hopefully your travels are going well. So last week, Damian Lillard,

0:35.6

on a free throw, I believe that he did it on, became the Blazers all-time leading score,

0:40.6

passing Clyde Drexler in Blazers' Law, and became the third current active player who is

0:49.6

playing for his team right now that he leads the team in scoring as well, including

0:55.7

Steph Curry with the Warriors and Jan Sotena Koupo with the Bucks. So, McMahon, you had this idea

but obviously part of the equation to become your team's all-time leading scores, you're going to

1:32.0

be with that team for a while. It's a longevity aspect. So, when you're evaluating Canaan,

1:37.8

it's to break their franchises score and record, you're evaluating also the situation

1:44.4

with that player and that franchise. Is it going to be a long-term marriage? What's the outlook

1:49.6

on that as well as just obviously their ability to fill it up? And depending on the franchise,

1:58.4

some are much more challenging than others. Next on the list will be Bradley Beale. He is about

2:07.2

a little less than a thousand points shy of Elvin Hayes all-time record in Washington there.

2:12.9

That probably happens by the end of this season. Devin Booker is 35, 3600,

2:22.5

shive, Walter Davis's all-time record in Phoenix. I think it's a pretty safe bet to say
