Welcome to the Edge of Sports podcast. I'm Dave Ziron. This week we speak to a basketball legend, a former coach, a broadcaster now of the first order, and one of the greats to ever put on a UMD uniform, Christy Winters Scott.

Also, I've got some choice words about LeBron's breaking Karim's all-time scoring record, and more.

But first, let's speak to Christy Winter's Scott.

First and foremost, thanks so much for joining the podcast.

Really appreciate it.

Oh, no problem.

I love it.

You know, I love talking hoop, so that's awesome.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah, I mean, first things first, really smart people are disagreeing on this question.

Does Kevin Durant make the sons the championship frontrunner, or at least the frontrunner to win the Western Conference?

I think, how could he not? Right? I mean, if you don't like that he's there, that's different,

then will he make a difference and an impact? And I think he will make a tremendous impact on that

team just with his experience alone. So two weeks ago, I didn't see that coming. But now that we're

here, I think that it's going to be

quite a nice blend with DeBook and Chris Paul. I think those three pillars are, you know,

it gives you a good chance for success to say the least. I mean, the three of them have

totally different roles, but I think they can mesh and

blend, but that may take some time. Like on paper, it looks like that will be a lot of fun, right? But I

think when you're coming in midstream like that, there's an adjustment period that you have to give

them grace for. But I would say, you know, maybe two or three weeks down the line, I think you're going to see what I'm talking about, which is, you know, their experience shining through.

And they're so competitive minded. So I think they'll be selfless in that growth.
