Summary

We’re back this week for a great episode with a pair of NBA champions — Derrick White and Payton Pritchard of the Boston Celtics! First, Tommy and Jason talk with Trey Murphy of the New Orleans Pelicans about the MVP race and the state of NBA awards. Derrick and Payton open the episode reminiscing on their time in the Pac-12 at Oregon and Colorado, what their respective NBA draft processes were like, and their first few years in the NBA. Payton shares his incredible, one of a kind, offseason workout routine, his process behind hitting so many half court shots, his thoughts on people who doubted him, and much more. Derrick and Payton also discuss the state of the Celtics, what it’s like playing with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Jrue Holiday, and players that impress them. They then share what they expect from the rest of the season. The episode closes with Trey returning for a draft of the best trios of all time.
