0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, and introduces the gang ... 1:14 ... Ross dedicates episode #150 to Zach "Zeebo" Randolph, who wore #50 in his long NBA career. 1:24 ... Ross live commercial read for BetOnLine ... 2:02 ... Bruce introduces tonight's guest, Lakers reporter Ryan Ward 2:40 ... Ryan shares his thoughts on the "Running Point" series on MAX that is based on Lakers owner Jeanie Buss 3:58 ... "World B" points out how streaky the Lakers have been in March and Ryan shares his thoughts on how the team goes on "Benders" at times and remains a puzzle as to how far they're capable of going in the playoffs. 6:11 ... Ross asks what the biggest difference is when LeBron is on the floor vs. when he is not. Ryan has a great analytical point about how the spacing is affected when LeBron is on the floor. 8:10 ... Ross points out that when Luka Doncic is running the offense, there is better motion in LA's offense and Ryan points out how LeBron causes the motion to stop when he has the ball at the top of the key. 9:50 ... Bruce asks Ryan whether LA has what it takes to win key games down the stretch and secure the #2 seeding in the west. Ryan feels they do not. He is concerned that the Lakers could fold quickly in the playoffs. 11:53 ... LA has really struggled on the road this season and Ryan points out that the Lakers had three straight "back to back" road games and sometimes they were guilty of playing down to the level of their opponents. 13:55 ... Bruce points out that Austin Reaves has been an outstanding "third wheel" with LeBron and Luka and Ryan explains how he continues to amaze and will be relied upon heavily in the playoffs. Ryan sees comparisons between Reaves and Hall of Famer Manu Ginobili. 16:40 ... Ross asks Ryan how much LeBron's endorsement has meant to Reaves' development. 17:46 ... Rookie Dalton Knecht has been impressive after returning to the Lakers after having his trade to Charlotte rescinded. Ryan doesn't really understand how coach JJ Redick is using him and thinks they may trade him again if they can get a quality big man in return. 19:39 ... The guys discuss JJ Redick's coaching job in his rookie year. Ryan likes his intensity, passion, and intelligence. 21:09 ... Ross and Ryan discuss Redick's readiness to coach well in the playoffs. 22:52 ... LeBron James has been acting out lately with battles against ESPN's Stephen A. Smith and Brian Windhorst ... Ryan feels there is a "Wrestlemania" element to the whole thing. Especially when LeBron did it on the Pat McAfee's show. 25:37 ... Bruce feels LeBron acted like a bully in his comments about Windhorst and Ryan feels like Stephen A. came out on top in this situation. Ryan loves how Mike Wilbon also checked in with his thoughts on the whole thing. 28:11 ... Ross has two quick hitters about LeBron's positive comments on Giannis Antetokounmpo and also asked Ryan if he and LeBron ever locked horns over something Ryan wrote or said. 30:20 ... Bruce offers Ryan some advice on how he can mix it up with LeBron and make worldwide news if there is ever beef between them. 31:18 ... Ryan tells everyone how to find him on social media and shares an update on his "Jello Jigglin" podcast. 32:14 ... Show reset and discussion of the Boston Celtics, who won their 9th straight game on Monday night. They appear to be peaking at the right time and are ready to flip the switch. Bruce credits head coach Joe Mazzulla with guiding the team through a long season and giving his reserves lots of minutes so they can contribute in the postseason. World B cautions that the Celtics starting lineup has not been as dominant as we expected. 38:08 ... Ross expands the discussion on how Boston's bench has stepped up and how it bodes well for the postseason. Bruce points out the value of veteran Al Horford and what a luxury it is that Boston has him. 38:24 ... The Taylor Jenkins firing is a head scratcher and Bruce is angry that the Grizzlies GM has not really given a good explanation as to why it was done. Bruce is concerned how the lack of information about the firing casts a cloud over Jenkins since some may suspect him of "shenanigans" when there may not have been any. World B feels like the Grizzlies team has tailed off badly in the second half of the season. 41:37 ... Ross wants Suns owner Mat Ishbia to hire Jenkins as the lead assistant for Mike Budenholzer and run the offense in Phoenix. 42:43 ... The Milwaukee Bucks are a hot mess with Damian Lillard out indefinitely ... Bruce thinks former head coach Adrian Griffin might be laughing at the situation he left behind since he was fired with a 30-13 record last season and the Bucks have been pretty "meh" since then, winning just 59 of 113 games. None of the guys feel the Bucks are capable of winning a playoff series at this point. 46:16 ... Breaking news! PJ Tucker is signing a 2 year deal with the Knicks and will be a steady veteran presence. Ross has high praise for PJ whom he worked with in Phoenix and called PJ "the new Taj Gibson.". 47:03 ... The guys recap the Sunday night Pistons/Timberwolves brawl and discuss the Pistons and their "Bad Boy" culture. World B has had enough of the fake "tough guy" act from Isaiah Stewart. Bruce initially thought there would not be any suspensions as a result of the brawl but Ross disagreed and Bruce was convinced and changed his mind. 53:22 ... The guys make their choices for the college hoop championship ... Ross and World B like Houston and Bruce likes Auburn. 54:15 ... Ross says goodbye ... TRT 54:30

Kobe was known to do research on people he would meet for the first time in order to put them at ease. But while J.A. never witnessed that, he praised Kobe for the way he handled his relationships with members of the local media. J.A. said that in the age of social media, modern athletes put less emphasis on those relationships. 29:19 ... Kobe and Michael Jordan were similar in many ways and J.A. explains that it was both a conscious effort on Kobe's part and simply a matter of MJ and Kobe being cut from the same cloth. J.A. feels that eventually Kobe came to regret those comparisons. 32:16 ... Was there one moment from Kobe's career that stood out to J.A.? Well ... there were a few! The game 7 comeback vs Portland in 2000 was memorable because of Kobe's giddiness. 35:24 ... Bruce's favorite Kobe/J.A. moment was from an NBA Coast to Coast show in Kobe's final season and J.A. describes what happened that night. J.A. uses that incident in his current job as a journalism professor at Northwestern as a teachable moment for his students. 38:49 ... Bruce asks about LeBron James and whether he has begun to mentally check out now that he has played an NBA game with his son Bronny. J.A. thinks it is possible because there is really nothing left to achieve. 40:30 ... J.A. makes his predictions for the rest of the season .. OKC wins the west, Boston wins the east, and Boston wins the championship. 42:19 ... Bruce asks J.A. if he is getting the "1995 Rockets vibe" about the Celtics where a defending champion looks less than dominant in the regular season but ends up repeating due to their "heart of a champion?" 43:43 ... Ross wonders if J.A. has any feeling on who the next "American face" of the league might be ... or even if there will be one? 47:58 ... If J.A. were starting his career over again, which player would he want to cover the most? LeBron James might be the guy. Michael Jordan too. 50:33 ... Ross thanks J.A. ... who thanks Bruce for helping him make some money working in TV! And we'll see you next week! TRT 51:17

Our fifth and final podcast during encore week features Michael Wilbon. There was no question who I wanted to feature as the first guest on “Tell me a story I don't know.” I have known Mike Wilbon for nearly 40 years and I'm not sure I've ever met someone I admire, respect and like as much as I do of the co-host of the highly successful “Pardon the Interruption”on ESPN. Wilbon, who grew up on the south side of Chicago yet was a fan of the north side Cubs, offered many stories of his youth, professional career and his fandom. Yes, he saw the Cubs win the World Series, the Bears win a Super Bowl and Northwestern basketball go to it's first ever NCAA Tournament. “The best thing about me not coming home to write for the Tribune or Sun Times is I could root for my teams because you can't do that if you're covering the team seriously. I can take the hats on and off”. Check out Wilbon's Twitter account and you can definitely see when he takes the hat off. “The best thing is I could sit in the stands and watch my teams! If I come back home in 1997 (when Michael Jordan tried to pave his way back from the Washington Post) I couldn't have done that. That's the second best thing that could have come out of that. The best thing is I stayed and my life turned out the way it did. I've been a fan of those teams since I was 5!” Wilbon has many fans of his own witness over 5 million on Twitter. His unbridled honesty coupled with a sharp edge has made him a very popular figure including sitting along side the likes of Stephen A. Smith, Jalen Rose and Mike Greenberg during broadcast of the NBA on ESPN.We hoped you enjoyed encore week with Bob Costas, Sarah Kustok, Mike Greenberg, Eddie Olczyk and Michale Wilbon.

ESPN's Mike Wilbon EXPLODES on Kevin Durant and DEMANDS Kyrie Irving get the JAB in CRAZY TIRADE!
Tom Brady changing his mind about retiring did not shock many people. However, the Buccaneers quarterback's mindset leading up to the decision remains a mystery. Whitlock's analysis: The retirement was a power play. Much like LeBron James' efforts to play the role of team owner, Brady has taken the “it's my way or the highway” approach to deal-making. Former New England Patriot T.J. Moe answers Jason's argument that Brady was bullying Bucs coach Bruce Arians. Minnesota congressional candidate Royce White helps Whitlock break down the Naomi Osaka breakdown. What does the former NBA player and mental health expert think are the true causes of Osaka's tears at Sunday's tennis match?

Cable news isn't dead. In fact they're watched by millions daily. But the trench warfare between the three big networks: Fox News on the right, MSNBC on the left and CNN who specializes in panic with lefty sensibilities; is opening opportunities and audiences for outlets like the Hill and its youtube hit rising. Rising is hosted by former MSNBC host Krystal Ball, a progressive whose failed congressional race brought her prominence a decade ago and Saagar (N-jetty) a conservative reporter and pundit. The Hill says it reaches 600 thousand people a week. The appeal of rising is not new, though. The production carries all the hallmarks of cable news down to its set and theme music. And to my eye the show is a child of two legacy shows: CNN's crossfire mixed with ESPN's Pardon the Interruption. On crossfire, an earlier incarnation of Tucker Carlson and other right wing hosts from the right jousted with James Carville and other Clinton era liberals about the news of the day. The first incarnation of that show lasted twenty years until former daily show host Jon Stewart went on the show and pointed out its cartoonish political balkanization. Rising strips away that balkanization. On rising, being liberal doesn't mean that conservatives are your enemy or vice versa. Saagar and Krystal slide from agreement to disagreement and back again with ease much like PTI's Mike Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser. Saagar and Krystal also share another element with Wilbon and Kornheiser. They come off as friends with different point of views who hate hypocrisy even if it comes from their own political team. Take this exchange between Saagar and Krystal about the inaction of congress and president trump about the financial crisis caused by the covid 19 pandemic. There's no doubt that in time cable news will attempt to duplicate Rising. But this type of nuanced, well thought out analysis will be blunted by any cable news based ecosystem. And it'll be drowned by the soundbytes and all the shouting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
