“How you gonna ridicule me? I'm in the one percentile of my work and I've shown you I work hard, so why can't I have a life away from my job?” Paul George Philadelphia 76ers In a special crossover  edition of The Pivot, we sit with NBA star, Paul George for the first part of our show and then Ryan, Chan and Fred do a second part with PG as the host that is streaming on his Podcast P channel…it's a layered conversation about basketball, football, teammates, legacy, expectations personally and professionally as well as the role of family and more as we kick off the first part of this show… This raw and insightful discussion goes far beyond the court as PG opens up about the highs and lows of his career—from the devastating leg injury that nearly ended it all, to becoming one of the league's most respected veterans as he's played for the NBA's most storied franchises and had teammates who've defined the game. In a moment of humility and honesty, PG talks about coming to the Philadelphia 76ers and how things ultimately didn't go as planned with championship expectations premature but hopes the adversity of a talented locker room will help the team rebound going forward. His admiration to play with Joel Embiid is what drew him to Philly, but injuries kept the duo from reaching full potential. He reflects on the mental and emotional toll of unmet goals, while staying focused on growth and what's next in his journey. PG shares his mindset shift over the years, lessons in leadership, and how he's learned to balance basketball, fatherhood, and business. The guys also dive into PG's thoughts on today's NBA culture, playoff performances, and the power of staying mentally strong in a game that's constantly evolving. Paul gets real about navigating criticism, evolving as a leader, and finding peace in the process.

Ike, Spike and Fritz react to Paul George making his return to podcasting after his in season hiatus from it this season.

Tom Kelly wants to keep the 3rd pick and rebuild with whoever the Sixers get at #3. Tom wants to get rid of Paul George and Joel Embiid and build around some fresh new talent. Jon Ritchie is optimistic that Embiid could come back healthier than ever.

The Morning Show, with Tom Kelly filling in for Joe DeCamara, and Jon Ritchie starts with their reactions to the NBA Draft Lottery. The Dallas Mavericks, who barely had a chance (1.8%), got the first pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. Sounds like the draft was rigged. Tom wants the Sixers to keep their third pick and rebuild. He wants to trade Paul George and Joel Embiid. Jon Ritchie thinks Embiid might recover and be even better.

The Morning Show reacted to the Mavericks surprisingly getting the 1st overall pick in the NBA Draft last night during the NBA Draft Lottery. Something seems a little fishy- after years of these “miracles” happening for specific teams, the Morning team thinks the draft is probably rigged in some way. Tom wants the Sixers to rebuild by keeping their #3 pick and trade Paul George and Joel Embiid, but Jon Ritchie disagrees saying Embiid might be back and healthier than ever next season. They also discussed Bryce Harper's slump with Ruben Amaro Jr., who was in-studio. The MVP has had a slow start this season and still doesn't quite seem to be on track. The Eagles host the Cowboys to start the 2025 NFL season- some are excited to rub the banner in Jerry Jones' face, others don't think the Cowboys are worthy of being on the same stage as the Super Bowl Champion Eagles. Eliot Shorr-Parks joins the show to talk about Eagles rookie camp observations and his thoughts on the Sixers sitting at 3rd overall in the draft. Who's better: Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey? Can Daryl Morey really build a quality team?

(0:00-8:30) Connor, Ricky and Sylvana react to the Sixers acquiring the #3 pick in the NBA Draft this year; what will they do with the pick? (8:34-16:40) Connor says hope is alive with the Sixers amidst their acquisition of the #3 pick; still questions but this is a “major step in the right direction.” Ricky wants an update on Joel Embiid. (16:43-28:34) Ricky has an issue with fans saying that players don’t want to come to Philly to play with Embiid; Paul George did and so did James Harden. (28:39-37:24) Connor says there is essentially no way Daryl Morey can mess this up.

The Sixers did everything they could to try to secure Cooper Flagg and the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Joel Embiid, Paul George, Tyrese Maxey and more could have their careers changed by the lottery, for better or worse.

Jon Ritchie calls Daryl Morey robotic and obtuse. He isn't managing this team properly, but it doesn't seem like he knows it.

e317 Habemus Leo XIV! by Paul George

Daryl Morey made two appearances today on 97.5 The Fanatic & The Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast. He opened up about a variety of topics including: the big three, Joel Embiid & Paul George's health, mistakes in building the roster last season, how the Sixers will make a comeback next season, AI, and so much more! Do you actually believe that he can be the guy to turn things around for this organization?

Cooper Flagg is the prize of the 2025 NBA Draft and with some luck, the Sixers hope the ping-pong balls fall their way next Monday night. With a 10.5% chance to land the #1 pick and the right to draft the 18-year-old phenom from Duke, how would Flagg change the present and future for the 76ers? Also, how would the fit be next to Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George?

The Sixers are 5 days away from finding out whether or not they will keep their first round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. In the meantime, Sixers GM Elton Brand made an interesting decision that may signal his thoughts at running the team again in the future. In other news, Paul George gets honest about the Sixers and their fans, and Tyrese Maxey guarantees that everyone will be better next season. If not, heads will start rolling.

Sixers fans are dying for Daryl Morey to add an impact young player in the 2025 NBA Draft. What would it take to trade out of the pick, and who would make sense as a target to play with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George?

The Clippers got blown out by the Nuggets in Game 7 and James Harden disappeared in another big game, dropping just 7 points on 2-8 FG. Does Paul George deserve an apology for the previous comments made by James Harden and Norman Powell? RB tried to warn Clippers fans about this!

e316 Fool Me Twice, Let's Get Ready to Conclave, You Raise Me Up by Paul George

The ‘bone collector' caterpillar covers itself with body partsIt's like something from a horror movie. A creeping, carnivorous creature that in a macabre attempt at disguise and protection, covers itself with the dismembered remains of dead insects. This super-rare caterpillar is one of the strangest insects in the world. It lives on spider webs inside of trees and rock crevices in a 15 square kilometre radius on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu. Daniel Rubinoff, from the University of Hawaii Insect Museum, found about 62 of these caterpillars over the past 20 years. Their research was published in the journal Science. If a dolphin pees in the water, does anybody know it?Researchers observing river dolphins in Brazil were first surprised to see the animals turning on their backs and urinating into the air, and then further amazed to see other dolphins sampling the falling stream. The Canadian and Brazilian team, led by Claryana Araújo-Wang from the CetAsia Research Group, believe this aerial urination may be a way to communicate dominance among males. The research was published in the journal Behavioural Processes.How the snowball Earth made life bloom on our planet700 million years ago our planet was frozen from pole to pole during a period known as snowball Earth. Glaciers at that time scoured deep into the continents below like a giant bulldozer, grinding the rock into fine sediments. In a new study in the journal Geology, scientists found that as the glaciers melted, a lot of that loose material was injected very rapidly into the oceans. Branden Murphy, from St. Francis Xavier University, said this chemical cocktail fertilized the oceans, and set the stage for rise of multicellular complex life on Earth.  How a team of microbiologists use cars to sample air across the countryUnderstanding the distribution of bacteria that might be a concern for human or animal health across an entire country is a huge job. But a team from Laval used a very clever shortcut to gather their data. They collected car air filters from vehicles across the nation, and looked in them to see what they sucked up. They found regional differences in the antimicrobial resistance genes specific to the agricultural activities and environmental factors at each location. Paul George, from Laval University, was the lead researcher on the study published in the journal Environmental DNA.Albertan obsidian artifacts are the end point of a widespread Indigenous trade networkObsidian — volcanic glass used to make super-sharp tools — is found as artifacts from chips to blades to arrowheads at hundreds of sites across the Rockies of Alberta and B.C., dating back thousands of years. However, there are no volcanos in the area so archaeologists are using this volcanic glass to chart Indigenous trade routes through North America. New research, led by Timothy Allan of Ember Archeology, has traced the obsidian's point of origin to a site nearly 1,000 kilometres away, suggesting the material travelled over long distances and passed through many hands. The research was published in the Journal of Field Archaeology.Do his gills ring a bell? Fish can recognize humansScientists at a Mediterranean research station kept noticing that particular fish would follow them around whenever they would try and do experiments. To find out if the fish were actually capable of recognizing individual humans, a team from the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany decided to turn this annoying behaviour into a scientific experiment. They found that the fish were indeed capable of remembering which humans had shared tasty treats in the past. The research was published in the journal Biology Letters.

Kevin Durant, Ja Morant, and Zion Williamson are among the big-name players expected to be in trade rumors this summer. Will the Sixers be involved in any sort of star-hunting moves, or could they send out Paul George in a house-cleaning trade of their own?
