The Athletic NBA Daily

This is a great podcast in the morning for listening when I’m doing my morning routine

wild that immediately after a conversation abt the internet and devices desensitizing ppl these guys immediately launched into cheering ja morant on as a "troll" bruh im 21 and i have to tell men in their 40s that trolling isnt admirable? that no functional society has or ever will cheer on antisocial behavior. woz in particular cheering it on is wild. ive listened for a while and dude is def a little muddled on race takes, and as a black man myself ima tell u it is hard to chastise ja because it feels like applying the "white lens" of morality to the dude but u gotta recognize he is legit encouraging everyone, but in particular young black men, to be ppl who solve problems w guns or think guns r tough guy stuff. any nonsense abt how athletes arent moral role models is beta male cope. yall need to buy a mirror and take a look at it

Why does the Athletic hate teams like the Miami Heat? Even as one of the most successful franchises in the last 20 to 30 years they are one of a few teams that don’t have a dedicated beat writer and even on a night where they are one of two games, other teams are receiving far more coverage.

I love this show and insight but any pod from an airport lobby or common space is an automatic skip. Background noise for an audio platform is a tough listen.
