Robert Horry is back at his mom's house for the week, which means the guys start with fried catfish, La Spata's subs, and why Hardee's steak biscuits are undefeated — before getting into the biggest story of the NBA offseason.
LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia on a deal that pays him a fraction of what he's made in years past, and Horry, Jenners, and B-Dawg break down what that actually means for the Sixers. They get into the point guard experiment, whether Tyrese Maxey's game gets hurt by it, who's playing the three now that KCP and V.J. Edgecomb are both in the mix, and why Horry has real concerns about the helicopter commute rumors after what happened to Kobe.
From there it turns into a full GOAT conversation. Horry explains why he judges players by their weaknesses instead of their strengths, makes the case for Kobe belonging in the same breath as Jordan and LeBron, and lays out what it would actually mean for LeBron's legacy if he wins a title in Philly. The guys also grade the Sixers' defense, run through Draymond re-signing with the Warriors, and catch everyone up on the East, which is suddenly loaded.
Plus: the wildest stat of the week (a Miami football transfer quarterback is about to out-earn LeBron, Caitlin Clark, and Shohei Ohtani combined), a debate over people calling the NBA the "MNBA," Big Shot of the Week honoring a firefighter who pulled three kids out of a capsized boat, and Rapid Fire makes its return.
