Summary
Chris and Rob discuss why it is that American-born NBA players feel empowered to publicly (and relentlessly) trash foreign-born NBA players and debate whether the NFL was out of line for publicly condemning Harrison Butker’s comments promoting traditional Catholic beliefs. Plus, former NBA veteran and FOX Sports Radio NBA analyst Kerry Kittles swings by to discuss why he believes Jalen Brunson has eclipsed Kevin Durant in the NBA’s hierarchy, how Nikola Jokic compares to other great centers of the past and much more!

| 0:34.7 | All right, Rob, let's get to this. |
| 0:36.3 | Because you have a strong take. |
| 0:38.7 | You feel like yesterday you talked about, |
| 0:41.5 | you felt like there was a lot of disrespect out there for Nicola Yolkich. |

| 0:56.2 | Rob G, there have been a few statements made by American players and ex-players recently. |
| 1:02.7 | Can you kind of run down a few things just to give the audience some context? |

| 1:07.4 | So I think it all started, at least to my knowledge, publicly. |
| 1:10.6 | A couple of years ago when James Hardin was in the thick of the MVP race with the Houston Rockets, and he was going head to head with Janice Ad de Gumpo. And you recall, thank you, you recall that James Hardin was not feeling the idea of the Greek freak being named the MVP over him. |

You know what I mean? I think it was based on his style of play in Harden. That's fair. Okay. You know what I mean? But let me hear you this next one though, Chris, because it's going to only gets worse from there. I know they've been dissing, so I'm not, I'm just saying that particular. Sure. So that one, that one, do you want to. Do you think that one was international? Yeah, yeah, it does. And only from this standpoint, and we'll go forward. I don't want to get too bogged down. But I think it's easier for these ex-players to rip on people who are not from here. |
