    The Clippers Got Away With It? 👀 | Kawhi, Westbrook & Why Jaxson Dart Isn't Ready

    The NBA spent 11 months investigating Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers for allegedly circumventing the salary cap. Now, it looks like Steve Ballmer and Adam Silver are sweeping it under the rug. In this episode of the Men Who Cry Podcast, Jus breaks down the explosive Baxter Holmes ESPN report, the Pablo Torre podcast leaks, and why this failure to punish powerful owners ruins the league's integrity. Next, we look at the legacy of Russell Westbrook following his retirement after 18 historic NBA seasons. From the 2017 MVP debate in Oklahoma City to the toxic era of "Westbrick" on Twitter, why do analytics and modern NBA fans treat his triple-doubles as a Rorschach test? Finally, Jus plants his flag on the New York Giants 2026 season win total. Betting the UNDER on 7.5 wins isn’t about Jaxson Dart’s talent: it’s about his maturity, his leadership, and whether he has the EQ to handle playing quarterback under the bright lights of New York. CHAPTERS:[00:00] Kawhi Leonard & Clippers Investigation: The NBA's Decision[02:41] Will Kawhi Get Suspended or Traded to the Raptors?[03:55] Adam Silver vs David Stern: A Complicated Legacy[05:33] The Pablo Torre Leaks: Why the NBA Investigation Doesn't Add Up[08:57] Steve Ballmer, Saudi Money, & The Future of NBA Ownership[12:04] The Ray Rice Effect: The NBA's Smoking Gun Problem[14:21] Russell Westbrook Retires After 18 Seasons[15:45] How Twitter, KD's Burners, & Analytics Changed Westbrook's Legacy[17:44] Did Russell Westbrook Deserve the 2017 MVP?[20:20] Westbrook's Career Numbers (Points, Assists, Triple-Doubles)[21:33] The Los Angeles Lakers & Westbrook Experience[23:59] Westbrook vs Kobe Bryant: Basketball's Ultimate Rorschach Test[27:30] NFL Preview: Why the New York Giants Are Going Under 7.5 Wins[29:02] The Jaxson Dart Problem: Concussions, Yachts, & Leadership[33:04] The Standard for Year-Two QBs (Mahomes, Lamar, Joe Burrow, Brock Purdy, Drake May)[34:44] Planting the Flag on the New York Giants Under 🎙️ The Men Who Cry Podcast: Sports.
