Part 1: An NBA Popularity Check and Tyson’s Big Comeback With Wosny Lambre and Van Lathan

The Celtics played really well and beat them. And they played one of their best games. But I watched Brooklyn. I'm like, I know they wanted to be terrible. It's going to be really hard to be terrible with some of the guys in this team. Like Schroeder is a above average point guard. Cam Johnson's good. Cam Thomas is a 28 a game guy. Now they have shop walking.

Do you think it's social media? Like, I wonder if it's just hard to suck now because if you suck... With the fantasy and the everyday gambling aspect, that might play a part, man. I feel like it's social media because I was thinking about this. Vince Carter got his... Number retired in Toronto. And I was just thinking how fucking crazy that is. Yeah. That way he started.

Cause I was writing for ESPN back then and he completely tanked on them that year to the point that. I was reading those columns. Yeah. He tightened on the point that the trade that they made for him is probably the worst superstar trade anyone's made. They had to like take back Alonzo Mourning's contract and a couple other bad contracts. They got two shitty picks.

And he sat down and he just sat in his thing. And he was like a parent mad at a kid. And even that, so now he's like, well, that'll never happen again because he just saw the video of it. It became a big deal the next day. He's like, I can't do that anymore. I just think there's a lot of checks and balances now for bad basketball, lazy basketball, lethargic basketball. People don't give a shit.
