After impressing all with his college football knowledge on College GameDay, Timothée Chalamet shared how he strives to be one of the greatest actors of all time, citing Daniel Day-Lewis, Viola Davis, Marlon Brando, and athletes like Michael Jordan and Michael Phelps as inspirations. We dive into that mindset and discuss how the pursuit of greatness transcends both acting and athletics. Then, we shift gears to a hot debate sparked by Stephen A. Smith—can an international player be the face of the NBA?
