Verno and KOC react to the NBA schedule release and discuss the glaring lack of excitement around the release as well as the need for more rivalries in the NBA (01:19). Also, they debate whether the NBA is making the right call by positioning the Lakers and Warriors as the two teams on national TV the most this season despite not being true Finals contenders (12:38). Is it time for the NBA to move on from LeBron James and Steph Curry and feature the next generation of NBA stars? The guys open up the summer mailbag and answer some listener questions (27:41)! They discuss the Spurs' future with Wemby, which fan base should be the most excited after the Olympics, and the biggest question of all: Does bigfoot really exist?
