      This podcast and others like it will educate the audience and an audience that's more educated and knowledgeable about basketball will tend to stay away from the type of content that we currently see on the big networks which is why they want to spin what LeBron and JJ say to spread false narratives because more people tuning in to this podcast is bad for them in the long term.

      The Thing That’s Genuinely Funny About That Team Was How Dominant That Team Was Despite Wade Being Injured And Leaving His Prime. I Genuinely Can’t Imagine What ‘13 LeBron & Like ‘11 Wade Would’ve Did Together. They Won 27 Straight Games , 66 Wins Overall & Had A 43 Game Stretch In Which They Went 41-2 Up Until They Loss Game 1 Against Chicago In The 2nd Round. They Loss More Games Than They Would Have In The Playoffs Probably Because Wade Was Injured Dealing With 3 Bone Bruises In His Knee & His Other Knee Had Borderline Arthritis. He Averaged 16 PPG In The Playoffs But Was Able To Turn It Up At Key Moments. Game 7 Vs Indy , Game 4 Vs Spurs & Game 7 Vs Spurs. Honestly Was Great From Game 4 To Game 7 Of That Finals Series. They Did All That WITHOUT PRIME WADE. I Cant Even Imagine The Damage They Wouldve Did With A Full Strength Wade.

      I still feel as if "I played like shit that series" is only one side of the coin to Bron's admission of letdown in the 2011 Finals. Something else happened during that series where he mentally checked out and said fucc it. I would hope that he's able to discuss after he retires perhaps. That would eclipse everything the Last Dance was IMO

    So Chip Kelly-a football coach--influenced the Heat and helped introduce the “spread offense” to the NBA. Chip never spoke about this (which brings up his humility). Also, credit to Spo for stepping up to become a better coach after that finals.

    Spo learning the spread makes me wonder if some sports aren't more mature than others in the understanding of the game. Is the spread offense a more mature phase of every sport? Should players and coaches constantly be looking at concepts in other older sports and trying to apply those to their sport? That's fascinating to me that it came from Chip Kelly.

    • @Thurokiir1
      @Thurokiir1 Před měsícem

      Yes absolutely.
      Inefficiency example: Why not have as many batters on your baseball team also be able to pitch? Massive durability savings on the normal pitchers which also cost a lot of money and take up roster slots. Even if you have a dude who is just good at contact batting if he could throw an inning or twos worth of sequences that would be massive in a regular season.
      Basketball imo is following euro football. Positionless, high awareness, high IQ strategies which rely on huge athletic effort at specific times to make goals.
      If a player has a unique skillset in soccer they can find a place and be able to contribute as the structure requires that people pass and shoot, just like basketball.
      Also waiting on more passes caught at the rim or in the catch position just like in volleyball. It's hard but any team that can execute passes with that speed and precision with reliability stands to have an unbeatable advantage.

    Audio is crunchy or spicy or treble turned up.

Who's got the budget for these and who's running the show? I get it, things happen, but with Lebron and JJ I mean, I'd think ya'll could find the resources for it. Happy this is a preview so you can run the entire thing through Adobe PP and just have AI clean up whatever you captured. Cheers and thanks for hearing my hyper criticism on production. I mean, we're listening to this more than we're watching this. I'm done.. My bad, all love. Nobody's getting fired just correct it.
