    Steph Curry obliterates Magic; Luka, Lakers winning while they learn; NFL, NBA eye global expansion

    Leigh and Anthony marvel at the show Steph Curry put on against the Magic last night. Players his age shouldn't dominate with efficiently but he and LeBron James have redefined player aging. Anthony's Lakers continued their roll last night against the Timberwolves despite a rather poor effort (by his standards) from Luka Doncic. The guys discuss what it's been like to watch the Lakers win while they figure out how to play together. The NBA and the NFL both have their sights set on global expansion. Leigh explains how. Finally, after answering a great mailbag question, Leigh details his trip to Los Angeles, California.
