Summary

On today’s episode, Jason discusses why LeBron James choosing the Philadelphia 76ers over Miami, Cleveland and Golden State just proves that most NBA reporters don't know a damn thing, which of the Philly Big Four (LeBron, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid) needs to take a step back for the Sixers to reach their full potential, where the Sixers rank in the Eastern Conference heiarchy, why the Golden State Warriors are the biggest losers of the LeBron James Sweepstakes, and which teams make the most sense for Steph Curry if he decides to demand out of The Bay.

For Monday, July the 27th. fan. It's me, Jason McIntyre straight. Boyer.

0:29.6

For Monday, July the 27th. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. It was a great weekend, folks.

0:34.5

Started Friday morning when LeBron decided he's going to the Sixers. We may touch on that here on the pod.

0:57.5

But it was just an awesome weekend. Programming note, real quick. We'll be hosting the herd again this week. Okay. Rachel Nichols and I, we got the LeBron news this week. We'll bring a lot of NFL, but LeBron fallout. It'll be fun. It'll be a lot of fun. And yes, Cowherd's taking two weeks days. This is a big guy. This is what he does. I will shortly be taking a very nice, lengthy vacation.

Before I get to LeBron, I do have to say, started the weekend off with an incredible movie.

1:07.7

I saw Odyssey.

1:09.8

And I am not kidding you.

1:11.8

It's one of the best movies I've seen in years.

1:13.1

It was awesome.

1:18.8

Now, I know there's some of you who instantly are like, oh, well, Elon Musk said this and how could they make Helen and Troy black?

1:22.0

It's like, first of all, the movie's like two hours, 45 minutes.

1:25.5

And Helen of Troy is in it for maybe 10 minutes.

1:26.8

No spoilers. And then Elliot Page, who was in

1:29.7

Juno, remember her, now he, Elliot Page is in it for maybe seven minutes. So like,

1:36.8

the idea that you're going to get worked up and miss the Odyssey because of two people who

were in the movie for maybe 20 minutes total. And that could be an exaggeration. It might even be less than that. You're really doing yourself a disservice. Christopher Nolan is clearly the man. His resume speaks for itself. And the movie was incredible. Matt Damon was unbelievable. I mean, I cannot stop saying good enough stuff about this movie. I'm more than willing to see it a second time. It was that good. Just an awesome story. Now, listen, obviously, it's a myth. We know the story, the book, but the way he did it was awesome. And this is the best part. So going in, the trailer didn't give you much. And then you start seeing it and you're like, oh, that's right. I remember this. Oh, that's right. I remember this from the book and that and this. And it was just awesome. It kind of flew by. Kids loved it. A couple scary parts, but not for me, for, you know, 13 year old girls. But otherwise, folks, the movie was awesome. And then I didn't realize it was turning around this quickly. Project Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling, already showing on Amazon Prime. Watched it? Awesome movie. Hello. Great stuff. And now is the sports time of the year where it's like there's nothing going on, the WNBA All-Star Game, it's a major league baseball. Soccer's back. How about my guys, Naccaza?
