This is an IHeart podcast.

On this episode, the heat check, let's talk about some centers, y'all, a position that is just being almost exterminated.

We talk about how the haters are wrong about D'Andre Aiton. Stop talking about him.

A.D., we got to talk about A.D. as well. He's a problem. Like, not in a good way.

Sorry, Anthony, I know you know this.

And how Shaq thinks Rudy Gober is overrated, but really this is just about American versus

Eurocenters.

Lots to talk about in terms of the center game.

So Anthony, let's move on.

Let's drop that motherfucker beat.

It should be Rion. Okay, today I'm fired up about centers.

Centers getting unfairly maligned.

Even the centers that I don't particularly like getting unfairly discriminated and hated on against.

Welcome to our centers episode of the heat check.

Let's start by taking out a look at a center who is just for no reason being killed

by social media this year. People just hop on. I know that he's a Portland Trailblazer. I know

that nobody's watching our games. But like I'm talking about DeAndre Aiton, y'all. People are

trying to act like he is scum on some sort of swamp land. It's like, oh no, DeAndre Aiton is worse. I can pull up so many anti-Aton

tweets right now. Don't make me do it. Don't make me do it right off the top of my head, because in general,

people want to say bad things about him. Really, I don't understand it.

I don't understand it.

People are saying he's a bust.
