Curtis and Joey welcome our international correspondent Joe Arthur with the second iteration of the ‘Trevor Ariza’ game (1:05) before discussing some recent slanderous quotes by Paul Pierce and Rasheed Wallace about ESPN and LeBron’s ability to play in a ‘tougher’ era (8:15), as well as the lack of genuine animosity in today’s NBA (21:15). Then the group discuss how Stephen Curry has influenced the modern generation and in particular, how today’s youth learn the game of basketball (26:00). Next, Joe asks Joey and Curtis why they think Kobe was so special (33:10), before Joe gives his “MJ is the GOAT” argument and the trio debate whether they think LeBron has a killer mentality (43:35). Finally, they close off with a Down Under Draft on ‘NBA media personalities’ (58:50).
