Sam and I go deep on the Warriors Title. What in the hell does it mean for their Dynistie (said in an English Accent)? Will we get the full Klay experience next season? Who's going to the Finals in 2023? Prepare yer lobes cause they're about to get crammed with a monster helping of that smoky sweet gaudy goodness!

Samuel and I dust off the 'cast to break down why I can't bring myself to like Devin Booker, then we discuss Giannis' greatness, debate Luka vs Dirk and remember the 2002 Sacramento Kings who got robbed! Oh, this is a fun one hehehe Listen Gaudy Stats on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6eLAiQdOZrrUU7uyHyPpnp Follow Gaudy Stats on twitter https://twitter.com/GaudyStats Subscribe Gaudy Stats on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Fuz_cDWf7L3-0gaIVxQqg Submit Questions to Gaudy Stats: gaudystats at gmail.com
Pressure mounts as the Philadelphia 76ers gear up for the NBA Playoffs and my pal Dan from Philly helps me sort through the biggest questions facing Philly: Can Embiid finish games strong? Can Harden change the narrative of him embarrassing/humiliating himself in the playoffs? Will Maxey blossom before our eyes? On the other side, the Raptors are a TUFF squad. No Thybulle on the road either, the dope. Oh boy, oh boy...WE SHALL SEE! Plus, our favorite things to watch in the Playoffs, including Steph, Klay and Dray back together and how will Luka fare? Egh! Tis a good ep, broseidon!

Do the stats match the hype of this much anticipated NBA Rookie Class? Giddey, Scottie Barnes, Mobley, Duarte, Davion, Jalen Green/Suggs: Who has excelled and who should we be worried about? Then, we glance at True Shooting (TS%) percentages of some of our favorites (Nash, Stockton, etc.) and try to do some math (and fail). Meanwhile, Kevin Durant is more efficient than ever! Seth Curry and Carmelo(!) are red hot from 3. Also, some way too early season reactions! Oh, and Peanut Butter Brownies!

For the life of me, I cannot stop gushing about Scottie Barnes! And I double down after getting called out by a listener by giving Scottie the greatest nickname of all time (or at least the last 5 mins). Then: Tyler Herro on Luka's level? Ughhhhh. Enjoy the rambling!

As the 2021-22 NBA Season approaches, we take stock of Luka Dončić entering Year 4 by looking back at his Year 1 thru Year 3 stats (regular season and playoffs) vs. those of Jordan, LeBron and Magic. It's a 4-way battle royale! Look, they keep saying he's the next Legend (which I completely agree with), but how does he stack up against this pantheon of greats when you dive neck-deep into the stats? Hoooooooo boi, ye gotta listen to find out!

With the NBA fast approaching and The Other Ben Simmons ratcheting up the drama, we had to talk to our favorite Philly son Dan. We get into the Sixers mess, sure, but we also get hyped for the NBA Season - will Klay return to form? Also discussed: Minshew's Mullet Superpowers, Dan's Carnitas Breakfast, The Eagles & Jalen Hurts, and Fight Club. Whoaaaaa boy, this is a good'n!

On this (very windy) outdoor Gaudy Stats Podcast, we come to terms with the Suns historic 4-game collapse in the Finals, Chris Paul + Booker disappointing, Giannis dominating and we also do a bit of Bird watching, not Larry, but actually birds. (Also, crows hate me... and the feeling may be mutual) On Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6eLAiQdOZrrUU7uyHyPpnp Follow on twitter https://twitter.com/GaudyStats Follow on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Fuz_cDWf7L3-0gaIVxQqg
Can I see that Giannis block one more time??? What a game. CP3 melts down, Middleton erupts (40 pts), Booker explodes (42 pts [and commits 27 fouls]), Holiday can't hit the broad side of a barn, Bucks win offensive rebounding + turnover battle, Giannis all-around stats and so much more!
The Kempster and I go through the Bucs and Patriots schedules game-by-game, again talk about the GFFOAT (Greatest Founding Father of All Time) Ben Franklin, Mac Jones, Julio Jones, Suns Finals Berth, and (out-of-nowhere) fall into a Game of Thrones Rabbit Hole! And so much mo'! Don't miss this ep, brah!

The Suns reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1993, but as a long-time Chris Paul Hater, I'm in a weird spot! On Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/6eLAiQdOZrrUU7uyHyPpnp Follow on twitter https://twitter.com/GaudyStats Follow on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Fuz_cDWf7L3-0gaIVxQqg
Sam comes on, not only to contribute one of the best podcast ep titles of all time, but also chat about Red Velvet aka Kevin Huerter and the emergence of Trae Young as well as MY Suns (namely the BEAST-like but soft-handed Ayton making a postseason name for himself and more!)
I get back on the line with Samuel and we delve into my Phoenix Suns: Their series vs Lakers and what is their ceiling? Chris Paul is still a flopper, but he's MY flopper. And Devon Booker is showing out, boi. Did you see that 40+ point explosion vs. the Lakers?! And oooo do I love me some Mikal Bridges! Clippers and Kawhi, and Jokic are also discussed. Whoa! Then, we do a 180 and talk Packers - who the F*** does Mark Murphy think he is anyway? And is Aaron Rodgers partially to blame or just sick n' tired of the nonsense? Samuel, a lifelong Packers fan, weighs in. Follow on twitter https://twitter.com/GaudyStats Follow on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Fuz_cDWf7L3-0gaIVxQqg
Kawhi, Luka and Dame all put on shows, boi. Gaudiness reigns as the playoff stats pile up. Kawhi's machine-like midrange prowess, Luka's steady diet of step backs and Dame's offensive explosion. Follow on twittah https://twitter.com/GaudyStats Follow on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Fuz_cDWf7L3-0gaIVxQqg
How far will top seed Philadelphia 76ers go in the playoffs? We invite Dan back to discuss their potential and if (the other) Ben Simmons has midrange-jump-shot-to-win-the-game playoff nightmares. Also, Eagles chatter: Will statuesque milquetoast Flacco unseat exciting presumptive starter Jalen Hurts? (Ughhhh, let's hope not) Thanks for stopping by!

Those who fondly remember Tim Tebow's experiment with NFL QB play (looking at you, Skip Bayless) are missing something... something BIG... and it stinks, lemme just tell ye. Also, NBA playoff Finals picks and I'm forced to give Kyrie his 50-40-90 honors (begrudgingly).
Kemp comes on after a long marination to tell us his ultimate take on Mac Jones and the Pats Offseason. Oh, and he slanders Aaron Rodgers (AGAIN). Another beaut!
Stupid ACLs. Why must they tear at the worst possible time? Poor Murray. Poor Nuggs. Poor ME another drink... get it? Poor and "Pour." HA. (Crickets) Ah, but the Playoffs will still be awesome. Behold another rambling pod in which stats and other things and stuff are discussed!
The Jason Kidd comparisons with LaMelo ring true. Plus: Will there be another 50 40 90 champion during the 2021 season? Joker, Kyrie, Middleton and others vie for statistical immortality.
Strap on your Leather Diapers: it's the GAUDIES! With 2020 in the books, we look back at the fantasy football year that was! https://twitter.com/GaudyStats
Our cup runneth over with gravy and gaudy stats as the Fantasy Football NFL Season hits the 3/4 mark aka the Thanksgiving holiday. This is a buttin' heads buffet, so unbuckle your britches, and settle in for some fattening fantasy fare.
In which three guys compliment each other's fantasy football teams for 2 hours straight. Also: Bucs, Brady, Pats, Cam, Kyler, Hopkins and much MUCH more!
In this dehydrated episode, we touch on the Dame Lillard vs. Patrick Beverly feud - how it's hilarious, but also bad juju for Bev to go there. Then, can we stop with the "Dame is on Steph Curry level" talk? I mean c'mon! We look at the stats! Has TJ Warren just leveled up?! Oh, and just a reminder: I hate the Lakers.
On this "small plates" episode, we sample from Bol Bol's debut, Nash vs. Stockton and let the darkness wash over us while simultaneously scrubbing it away. Plus, ever tried salmon jerky? Oooooo boi, are you in for a treat.
On this ep, we delve deep into Dirk aka Dirkenstein aka Dirk Nowitzki - an all-time favorite. We marinate in the Mavs 2011 Finals victory over the Heatles - the satisfying title ever? Also: All the trials and tribulations that made it so sweet (including that embarrassing series collapse to the "We Believe" Warriors in the playoffs). We go deep on the shooting, points, all those gaudy numbas! And don't forget that classic one-legged patented DIRK shot! Ohhhhhhhhh boy, gaudy up!
In a wide-ranging chat with Kemp we discuss the legacy of Tom Brady during the Pats historic 19-year winning streak (2nd all-time) and how Tommy can build on his already legendary resume in Tampa. Plus, we talk CDs, Spotify, Ben Franklin vs. John Adams, the end of the world and much more. (Disclosure: I'm not a Brady fan, but I respect his accomplishments. If you don't like Brady, some of this will make you sick to your stomach - Consider this a trigger warning. Some of it is straight up gross, not gonna lie. Kemp is obsessed with Tom - in a weird way... yes, THAT WAY. So, yeah tread lightly, my fellow human.)
Allen Iverson put up crazy numbers for the 76ers, but his impact on the NBA and culture was far greater than the gaudy stats show. Dan, a Philly native, talks about what AI meant to the city and we do a deeeeep dive into his career, including the eye-popping points, shots, usage and minutes per game numbers!
As 'Rona Rage grips the nation and everyone quarantines like it's 1918 (Spanish Flu, ya'll), there's no better time to examine the famed 50-40-90 Club Steve Nash, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Mark Price, Dirk, Larry Legend and more!
On today's pod, Sam and I talk about Super Bowl 54, break it down from multiple angles and ask all the tough questions: Will Jimmy G hold up? Can Mahomes be stopped? How is Andy Reid gonna blow this? Oh, we also discuss the perfect San Francisco / Kansas City Super Bowl dishes for your spread. Ever had a nice white wine with a pound of pulled pork? Hoooooooo boi.
After Ryan FitzMagic and the Dolphins came to Foxborough and delivered the biggest NFL upset since 1995, New England Patriots Superfan Kemp has had enough of Bill Belichick! Yes, it sounds absurd that after all the great GM moves and winning, Pats fans still have anything to complain about, but if you think that, then you haven't met the Kempster. Oh, and he also thinks they'll lose at home to the Titans in round 1 of the playoffs. Oh, and he thinks Brady is leaving after this year. Oh, and he wants to see Belichick coach a non-Brady QB because he thinks he'll fail because he thinks Brady is responsible for more of the success than Beli. Man oh man, if you're a Pats hater or lover, this pod has it ALL! Bonus: 2020 Fantasy discussion about Lamar, McCaffrey and College Prospects!
Sam and I get into the Fantasy Beast in AJ Brown and 2020 outlook! Kyler sophomore slump or jump? Michael Thomas Unreal Efficiency, CMC rivaling LT.
Join Ben, Samuel and Kempo as we delve into Ravens vs. Chiefs, place bets on Dolphins ineptitude, talk Titans, engage in FIERCE Marcus Mariota + Mike Vrabla + Titans debate, Antonio Brown + Pats talk (of course) and much more! This pod is filled to brim, bubba, so put on your bib and pack it in!
Have you heard of Torn Achilles Disease? Kemp explains it using science. Also, Sam talks about the NFC West's unusually successful journeys east in the early games. Then, what in the F should we do about Dede Westbrook with his 6 catches for 33 yards combined in two games? (Sigh) Looks like it's the Chark Show in Jacksonville - Kemp's gonna break the bank to procure his services for his Fantasy team. All this and a lot more BS for you to Minshew on! Ha! Get it? Chew... Minshew the new quarterback for Jags...his name sounds like chew and ugh... ha. Funny, right? (Sigh)
We bring in the Kempster who is revvin' from the Patriots shellacking of the Steelers on SNF. Will New England go 16-0 AGAIN with the addition of Antonio "Crazy Like a Fox" Brown? Will Josh Gordon last the season? Why did Brady get cheek implants? Why does Bill Belichick continually kiss his grownup daughter on the lips after winning Super Bowls? We answer (some) of these questions!
NFL Sunday. Week 1. Wild games! Stats! So many stats! Lamar, Kyler, Dak and big QB games. Plus, Sammy effin Watkins. Plus, more. Plus, rambling. Gaudy stats galore!
The Fantasy Football is coming! Sound the alarms! Samuel and the Kempster get on the line to discuss Lamar Jackson in a LENGTHY Ravens segment! Then, we discuss Kyler Murray, the Browns, Jimmy G, the 49ers (!!! Of course !!!), Baker Mayfield, CHUBB and much more!
Steve Young is the complete package: Size, strong arm, accuracy and mobility, but injuries, era and lack of playing time early in his career prevented him from being a stats monster. Still, he was able to put up two 40 total touchdown seasons and had a Super Bowl to remember. My favorite Niner!!
We wade through the Gaudy Rebounding Rivers of Russell and asks: "Why is there so much hate out there for ol' Bill?" The man dominated hall-of-famers Wilt, Jerry West, Oscar Robison, Bob Pettit and more during his 11-championship run, but he still gets no respect! Ah COME ON!
In 2019, Steve Nash is officially underrated, but uber Nash fan Bemmons takes you back for an extremely biased look at his GAUDY shooting percentages and assist numbers and explains why he is an ALL-TIME great passer (top 3) and one of the greatest shooters EVER. From the Phoenix Suns to the Dallas Mavericks and back to the Phoenix Suns and then on to the evil LA Lakers, we touch on ever Nash statistical achievement! Bask in the glory of STEVE!
Welcome to the Gaudy Stats end-of-the-year awards! THE GAUDIES! Fantasy Football's most prestigious honors are handed out to the NFL's most deserving players!
In terms of Fantasy Football, it's probably to early to forecast who you should draft at the top spots for 2019, right? RIGHT? WRONG. We detail where we'd draft Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey, Todd Gurley, Patrick Mahomes and more by doing a snake draft to chart our Top 24! Plus, did you see that Anthony Davis 5x5! Ooooooooooo boi!
In this late night fireside chat, Samuelson, The Kempster and I go deep once again. This free-wheeling jaunt down Gaudy Stats Boulevard touches on the LA Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, Todd Gurley, Tarick Cohen, Royce Freeman, Phillip Lindsay, Adam Thielen, Julio Jones and much more!
What a stat-stuffing start to the NFL season! Gaudiness at every turn! It's enough to make a man weep with joy as his laptop explodes form all these record setting numbers! Alvin Kamara is on pace 160 catches! Mahomes for 84 TDs! FitzPatrick for 6400 passing yards! Of course, they won't get there... OR WILL THEY? No, they won't, but at season's end, we'll have some doozy year-long statlines to gush over. Running backs are catching passes like mad, too. Will we see multiple 100 catch seasons for RBs this year? WHO THE HELL KNOWS BUT I CANT WAIT TO FIND OUT. Join San, Chris and I as we bath in the juicy statlines of this young NFL season!
This marathon pod clocked in at a shade under 3 hours! Kemp, Samuel and I get into WR values such as Taywan Taylor, Jordy Nelson, TY Hilton and others, but also check in with the studs like Antonio Brown (by the way: will he ever catch Jerry Rice?) and Julio Jones. Water Bug pass-catching backs like Dion Lewis and Chris Thompson are also touched on. So much more in this bulging buffet of fantasy football talk!
Gaudy Stats: Late Night Edition. Sam and Kemp get on the line for a drowsy, drunken three-way pod. Random subjects and players are discussed. Kemp is aroused by the thought of Giovani Bernard on the Patriots. Jay Ajayi is dicusssed AT LENGTH while Carson Wentz is compared to every QB in NFL history (including Scott Tolzien). Should you expect a bounce back year from Drew Brees? Why does Kemp hate Kirk Cousins? Is it is face? Is Jimmy G a god in the flesh? Has Doug Pederson supplanted Bill Belichick as the NFL's utmost GURU? So many questions, so few answers, but listen anyway!
In Part 2 of our Fantasy Football Prep Trilogy, I welcome in the Kempster to discuss Fantasy Auction Draft Value Picks and Sleepers. Julio Jones, Jordan Howard, Saquon Barkley, Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo, Dion Lewis, JEFF JANIS, Jarvis Landry, Jerick McKinnon, and many more are blabbed about in excess throughout this feast of fantasy football talk!
Back from an extended absence to deliver some Fantasy Football goodness with my chum Samuelson. Jerick McKinnon, Russell Wilson, Christian McCaffrey, Jarvis Landry, Kirk Cousins and others are discussed in this freewheeling fantasy feast. This is the first of three fantasy prep pods, so stay tuned!
We’re back from hiatus with Philly Fan Dan waxing poetic about (THE OTHER) Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, TJ McConnell, Markelle Fultz and the surging Sixers who just vanquished the Miami Heat in Game 1 of their 1st round playoff series. We also get into 76ers legend Allen Iverson, a volume shooter for the ages. It’s a packed pod with all the fixings!
