Episode 18: We’re Playoff Bound May 13, 2021

Show notes

With just a few days left before the playoffs begin, the guys sit down for one final episode before Duncan locks in and the pod goes on a brief hiatus.

Because of this, they have quite a bit to discuss. Duncan starts by breaking down the importance of playing in front of his family in Boston, the recent series sweep of the Celtics, and clinching a playoff birth with Miami. The guys then react to another record that Duncan is on pace to break (but this time it’s not a good one), getting a shoutout from Bill Burr, Duncan’s legendary pre-draft workout with Miami, and much more!

Episode 10: Tyler Herro | “He’s not going to get work in while I’m sleeping” Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

It’s not very often that an athlete realizes their dream to become a professional athlete. But it’s an even rarer accomplishment to realize that dream while also becoming a cult icon. That’s where Tyler Herro comes in. Since bursting on to the scene in 2019, Herro has not only proven to be a force on the court, but also on social media. In this sit-down with Duncan and Davis, Tyler expands on both of those subjects, as well as playing with a chip on his shoulder, avoiding having his game "put in a box”, coming off the bench, the importance of finishing games, and much more.
