BLUE WIRE
About this episode

Happy basketball! Jamel and Benner get together to talk about Brittney Griner in Russia, Kristaps Porzingis's Wizards debut, whether the Wizards should give Bradley Beal a new contract, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving finally playing together in a loss to the Celtics, whether or not the Nets could fall out of the play-in tournament, and more! Also Jamel's internet crashes several times and Benner has to fill time by googling other Jamel Johnsons. It's a weird one!
