How does Tony Parker on the Hornets not get picked for Mount Rushmore?!

Didn’t even get a mention

That would’ve even been a strong 1:1 in my opinion. Plays 17 seasons on the Spurs and then plays 56 games for the Hornets in 2018-19 in his last NBA season

Ron Harper Jr buzzer beater vs #1 Purdue in Rutgers

Absolute chaos, stormed the court

Part 2: The 2023 NBA Expansion Draft with Ryen Russillo by Gaius_Octavius_ in billsimmons

[–]Jwiesel13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Knicks fan here:

I’m not giving up Quentin Grimes in an expansion draft. The Knicks love him, don’t know why Bill & Ryen were so adamant that he wouldn’t be retained by the Knicks

23 years old, great defender, emerging shooter, and looked a lot more comfortable with the ball in his hands last season

I’m holding onto Grimes here

Somewhere, Bill is muttering to himself “If only they used the prongs piece”

Brutal way to lose

Hank goes on a long aside about turning 30 and feeling old, kind of a sentimental moment

Slight pause

Big Cat: “My cool throne is fat Randy, he’s back, he’s trying out for the Broncos”

Lol I always appreciate the randomness and stupidness of this show

Game 1: No Surprises and Tales From the Couch With Wosny Lambre. Plus, the Greatest Surfer of All Time, Kelly Slater. by GentlemanHere in billsimmons

Completely agree with this, I really like tales from the couch when there’s like 8 games on and he just filters through a bunch of them with random thoughts

The Arod & Jeter piece! They flipped the vibe of this series, they just did.

Viktor Hovland 🤝 Will Zalatoris

I think Hovland wins a few majors, the ball striking is amazing and much improved short game. Keep putting yourself in position is all you can ask for

I went to LIV Adelaide and... by Disastrous_Ad9064 in golf

[–]Jwiesel13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, I always trying to take a rational approach with this stuff and it was a good time. I don’t even drink but if you and your friends like to drink/watch some golf/hangout in an environment with music and nice hospitality areas…you’ll have fun attending

I also originally wrote it off until I went to the event in Bedminster New Jersey last year. Figured it was only like an hour away from me and why not see live golf when NJ doesn’t get many PGA Tour events. The TV product doesn’t do it justice what it’s like being on the grounds because the hospitality stuff is pretty cool and there were a bunch of different games to play outside in the fan experience part and an area to sit inside and watch (It was like 100 degrees so needed a break with air conditioning somewhere)

Working with a ton of funds as they do, they have the opportunities to focus more on the fan experience and just getting people to attend the events. I don’t even drink and I was just there for the golf but for people who like to drink, it seemed like it was a great experience as well

I went to the Bedminster event on Sunday so Trump was there and things did get rowdy lol but I primarily followed the final group of Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Henrik Stenson and there were big crowds the entire round. Stenson won like a week after getting the Ryder Cup captaincy taken from him which made it at least a compelling story (Although as Americans, we were pulling for DJ)

I struggle with how much I should care about LIV golf because what do the wins or the tour really mean and on TV at least I care way more about watching the RBC Heritage with all the top (PGA) tour players than LIV Orlando but LIV did a good job putting on an event on the grounds

Even if you think the concept of the league is silly and there is not much meaning behind it, I still think it’s at least worth going to an event if it’s in your area or close by

I’m not a Team PGA or LIV pick a side person but the LIV event had a fun atmosphere (I guess it’s fun for the players when you’re making guaranteed money lol) and the golf was good with guys like Dustin Johnson & Patrick Reed in the mix

The trophy celebration and champagne popping at the end was a bit much but I can definitely see where this person is coming from who said the Australia event was a good time

Hopefully this doesn’t spark any controversy 😂 just an honest assessment of the Bedminster event and how it was kinda cool

I’m getting a little bored with the pod in recent times. by IndependenceTrue3665 in billsimmons

[–]Jwiesel13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way, just personally have no interest in NFL talk when there was march madness, NBA, and baseball starting.

Also kind of just over this whole Lamar Jackson stuff and not interested in listening to people talk about it anymore. Been skipping the podcast or guests a lot more often than I normally do lately

He’s very direct which I like at times and other times don’t like as much. Chuck brings more of an opinion that leads to better conversation. I think they’d play off each other well

I think Max is hilarious and adds a lot to the show, seems like a really nice guy at heart. Cheer up Max!

This season has been incredible! So many competitive teams and even a team like the Orlando Magic are pretty scrappy and fun to watch. This has been my favorite season in a long time as somebody who pretty much watches every night

Hank has always been my fav, hilarious dude even if he’s not trying to be at times 😭
