Podcast appearances and mentions of Kevin Durant

The Giants hype hits another level as Shaun Morash predicts a 12-win season, the NFC's No. 1 seed, a trip to the Super Bowl and an MVP campaign from Jaxson Dart. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan Roberts, with Jerry Recco joining the conversation as the crew debates the NFL's best coaches and where John Harbaugh belongs. The Jets also get a painful Aaron Rodgers revisit, with Evan admitting they probably should have tried to make it work and questioning how Aaron Glenn handled their split. Plus, Kevin Durant's Nets regret, Brian Cashman's future with the Yankees, George Lombard Jr.'s defensive struggles and plenty of chaos from the live Long Island broadcast.

The Jets' Aaron Rodgers decision gets a major second look, with Evan admitting they probably should have tried to make it work instead of immediately moving on. Jerry Recco joins the conversation as they question Aaron Glenn's handling of Rodgers and wonder whether keeping him as a transition quarterback could have changed the Jets' direction. Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor also spark intrigue after Soto was the first to congratulate Lindor on a home run, raising questions about whether their relationship has genuinely improved. Plus, Kevin Durant admits his biggest sports regret was failing to win a championship with the Nets, and the crew debates whether Brian Cashman's long Yankees tenure may finally be nearing its natural endpoint.

Dr. Shirley M. Collado knows firsthand how transformative an education can be. The daughter of Dominican immigrants who grew up in a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood, she became the first in her family to attend college and eventually made history as the first Dominican American to serve as president of a four-year college in the United States. Now, as President and CEO of College Track, she's taking on an even bigger challenge: making sure a student's zip code, family income, or access to resources doesn't determine how far their talent can take them. In this conversation, Ryan and Shirley unpack College Track's 10-year commitment to first-generation students and the unlikely partnerships helping bring that mission to life, from Kevin Durant and his mother Wanda to the Baltimore Ravens and M&T Bank. They also wrestle with a much bigger question about the future of higher education and why America has struggled to tell a compelling story about its value.

What happens when you know exactly what you should do for your health but you still don't do it? Motivation may not be the answer. Best-selling author and performance expert Alan Stein Jr. joins Dr. Hana Kahleova and Chuck Carroll to reveal the "next play" mindset that can help you bounce back from bad decisions, stop self-sabotage, and become more consistent with your health. Before becoming a keynote speaker, Alan spent 20 years in basketball performance and had the opportunity to observe some of the greatest athletes in the world, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant. What separates elite performers isn't perfection. They miss shots. They have bad days. They make mistakes. The difference is what they do next. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, you'll learn how to stop one unhealthy meal from becoming an unhealthy week, why emotions should inform your decisions rather than control them, how to build discipline when motivation disappears, and why your environment may matter more than willpower. Chuck also opens up about weighing 420 pounds and eating as many as 10,000 calories of fast food a day — and why he is learning to have compassion for the person he used to be instead of continuing to punish himself for the past. Plus, Alan shares the daily routines that help him protect his mindset and explains why small wins eventually become enormous changes. Your last play is over. What will you do next?

En Syrie, le pays tente de renouer avec une forme de normalité, près d'un an et demi après la chute du clan Assad. Parmi les signes de cette reprise timide : le retour progressif des touristes sur certains sites emblématiques. À Palmyre, joyau archéologique classé au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, quelques visiteurs viennent de nouveau admirer les vestiges de l'antique cité de la reine Zénobie. Mais aussi les destructions laissées par l'organisation État islamique. De notre envoyée spéciale à Palmyre, C'est à moto qu'on entre sur le site antique de Palmyre et c'est par ce moyen de transport qu'une partie des touristes visitent aujourd'hui la cité.  Khaldoum, guide touristique, est né et a grandi à Palmyre. Il fait la visite et explique : « On est dans le théâtre. Le théâtre romain. Toutes les destructions que vous voyez, c'est l'État islamique qui en est responsable. Je me rappelle comme c'était beau avant. Daech a détruit toute la beauté de ce site. J'espère qu'un jour, il sera rénové et qu'il sera plus beau encore. Il y a eu ici de longues années de guerre. Les gens sont curieux de voir ce qu'elle a fait. Avant, ils venaient visiter les antiquités de la reine Zénobie. Maintenant, ils viennent voir les traces laissées par les combats et par l'État islamique ». Ce jour là, quelques touristes sont présents, notament une Italienne subjuguée par ce qu'elle voit - « C'est un site archéologique romain exceptionnel ! » - et un Australien pour qui les événements contemporains ont un intérêt particulier : « Il y a aussi toute l'histoire récente, on voit ce qui a été détruit ou non. C'est ce qui rend cet endroit si particulier, n'est-ce pas ? Et vous voyez aussi au sol les restes de bombes, les balles ». « Vous remarquez tout de suite que quelque chose d'important s'est passé ici », renchérit la touriste italienne.  La vie est plus facile aujourd'hui  Durant la visite, nous rencontrons un marchand qui vend des colliers, des souvenirs de Palmyre. « On les fabrique avec ma famille depuis longtemps. On a commencé avant 2008 », explique-t-il. Mais celui-ci a dû arrêter sa production pendant 15 ans. « J'ai dû fuir dans le désert à cause de la guerre. C'était une vie difficile. Ce n'était pas facile de ramener de la nourriture à ma famille. Maintenant, la vie est plus facile. Je suis content de faire à nouveau ce travail », raconte-t-il. Le petit hôtel de Khaldoum est en pleine reconstruction, on y entend le bruit des travaux. Celui-ci explique comment l'idée de revenir travailler à Palmyre a germé en lui : « Au début, quand les touristes sont revenus, il n'y avait aucun service ici. Pas d'aire de repos, pas de toilettes, même pas d'eau fraîche à boire. Tout était détruit, tout était rasé. Peu après la chute du régime, des visiteurs ont commencé à arriver de Damas, de Homs, d'Alep. Ils venaient par groupes, nombreux. Parfois, nous avons accueilli entre 500 et 700 visiteurs par semaine. Alors des gens comme moi ont commencé à investir. On a ouvert des hôtels et des restaurants ». Malgré le retour timide des visiteurs, Palmyre reste suspendue aux soubresauts de la région. Depuis le mois de mars, la guerre entre l'Iran et les États-Unis a déjà fait reculer la fréquentation touristique. Après la guerre, après les occupations et les chantiers de reconstruction, Palmyre se relève lentement. Petit à petit, vers un retour à la vie.

Jalen Brunson is now an NBA champion, a Finals MVP and a New York Knicks legend — and Ric Bucher argues that the decision that helped make it possible reveals an uncomfortable truth about what most NBA players actually value.On this episode of On The Ball, Ric revisits Carmelo Anthony's admission that he wouldn't have left $113 million on the table the way Brunson did. Melo's comments aren't quite as damning as they initially appeared, but they raise a bigger question: How many NBA stars are truly willing to sacrifice money, comfort and personal interests for the singular pursuit of a championship?Brunson did. And now he has the ring to show for it.That discussion leads Ric into why championships require more than talent — and why he remains skeptical that stars such as Anthony Edwards, Ja Morant, Joel Embiid and potentially Luka Doncic have demonstrated the single-minded discipline necessary to lead a team all the way.Ric also tackles another NBA obsession: LeBron James. Looking back at the controversial 2015 Finals MVP vote, he examines why LeBron's enormous statistical production didn't translate into winning and arrives at a larger theory about his place in basketball culture: attention and excellence have become increasingly difficult for fans and media to separate.Finally, Ric explains why Warriors fans waiting for another blockbuster move may be waiting for something that isn't coming. Golden State's realistic goal is relevance, not another championship — and the idea of rebuilding around a 39-year-old Steph Curry is, in Ric's view, pure fantasy.TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Welcome to On The Ball01:23 — Carmelo Anthony, Jalen Brunson and the $113 million question02:00 — Brunson joins the exclusive club of championship-leading stars02:14 — Why Tony Parker shouldn't have won the 2007 Finals MVP03:21 — Revisiting Andre Iguodala's controversial 2015 Finals MVP04:21 — Why Steph Curry received zero Finals MVP votes05:13 — LeBron's incredible 2015 numbers vs. what actually decided the series06:32 — The LeBron James dilemma: historic statistics, but not enough to win07:46 — How Brunson unexpectedly sparked a LeBron epiphany09:15 — Why LeBron generates more attention than anyone in NBA history09:51 — Attention isn't the same thing as excellence11:13 — LeBron's real superpower beyond his basketball talent12:03 — Why Steph Curry doesn't command attention the way LeBron does13:31 — Back to Brunson — and his place among NBA legends14:17 — The real context behind Carmelo Anthony's Brunson comments15:09 — The harsh reality: winning isn't most NBA players' No. 1 priority16:27 — What Brunson actually sacrificed for the Knicks17:20 — Why winning a championship requires an almost obsessive commitment18:32 — Ric on career ambition, fatherhood and changing priorities19:13 — Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Bill Russell and unforgettable NBA experiences20:31 — What championship teams require beyond talent, health and luck21:14 — Why personal discipline matters for championship leaders22:04 — Anthony Edwards, Ja Morant, Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic: can they lead a champion?22:41 — The question Warriors employees keep asking Ric23:15 — Who can Golden State realistically add?
