Summary
Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “Breakfast Ball” on FS1!
They start with the criticisms of the NBA and NBA All-Star game and why despite all the chatter, the league is in a great place from a business standpoint, why the ridiculousness of the all star game is actually an endearing quality but why they want to see more effort from the players (3:15).
They discuss the ever increasing number of three point shots translating to even more blowouts and why it diminishes the product during the regular season and why NIL could help with the development of domestic talent (9:00). They also break down why the NBA needs to be more comfortable with tweaking the rules to create the best television product like the NFL does (14:00), and why parity isn’t great for sports like baseball (23:45).
They debate the level of difficulty GM’s face when drafting NBA talent when NBA prospects have almost very little exposure to other top talent at the high school and college levels (34:00).
They pivot to the SNL 50th Anniversary special and discuss the massive cultural impact SNL has made on the world of comedy and the huge roster of A-list talent the show has incubated, and why the critics don’t appreciate the greatness that has come from SNL (50:00). Colin talks about why modern critics seek perfection and hopes it doesn’t cause artists to hesitate to take big swings (57:00).
They discuss Aaron Rodgers begging the Jets to stay and still being shown the door due to his ego and lack of self-awareness (1:11:00), and why it wouldn’t be crazy for the Giants to give up a first round pick for Matthew Stafford (1:14:00).
They discuss American’s reluctance to embrace change and why Democrats tend to be far more neurotic when they lose compared to Republicans and Danny suggests an under the radar candidate that could run in 2028 (1:20:00).
Finally, they discuss the two types of “artists” and why LeBron James is one type and Kevin Durant is the other, reflect on Durant’s legacy in the NBA and debate whether winning his rings from joining a stacked Warriors team diminishes that legacy (1:27:00).
