On today’s episode, Jason discusses the unfortunate passing of longtime ESPN NFL reporter Chris Mortensen (2:41), whether the NFL Combine results – even the record-breaking ones – really matter in the grand scheme of things (5:52), if LeBron James becoming the first-ever member of the NBA’s 40,000 Point Club will be enough to propel him in the GOAT debate (18:02), the narrative that people have been rooting against LeBron and hoping he would fail since he entered the league in 2003 (28:46), why Jayson Tatum still can’t get any love from MVP voters even as the Boston Celtics run roughshod through the NBA (37:54) and why he fundamentally disagrees with Kevin Durant’s opinion about Team USA Basketball (41:49).
