The Nets - Not the Sixers - Are the Beas...

About this episode

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the Philadelphia 76ers’ latest blowout victory of the James Harden-Joel Embiid Era. We all knew the Sixers would be dynamite in the regular season; the big question was always whether or not Harden and Embiid would be able to co-exist in the postseason when the game slows down. It’s why the oddsmakers in Las Vegas still have the Brooklyn Nets as the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference. Kevin Durant is coming back tonight, Kyrie Irving will become a full-time player before the playoffs start and Ben Simmons (hopefully) will be on the floor in a couple weeks. The Nets, not the Sixers, are the team to beat in the East. Later, 3x Super Bowl champion LeGarrette Blount swings by to discuss his unusual path to the NFL, how an incident in college helped shaped the man he is today, his experiences at the NFL Scouting Combine, what it was like playing for Bill Belichick and alongside Tom Brady in New England, his new CBD product line 'LG's Feel Good', and much more!
