Best Of The Fan Midday Show - Monday 7/10/23

(00:00-17:49) – Pacers Sideline Reporter and Pre/Postgame Show Host Jeremiah Johnson joins the show to talk about the NBA Cup, plus what the NBA summer league looks like for the Pacers. What do the impressive performances from Benedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard mean for the Blue and Gold? Why are these guys still playing in these meaningless games after playing so many minutes in the regular season last year? What does Oscar Tshiebwe need to prove during these summer games? Then, they discuss the steps the Pacers took this offseason to begin contention for the Eastern Conference Finals. How do Brown and Toppin fit with this team? Also, Brian asks Jimmy who the most thrilling NBA player is in the league.  (17:49-35:32) – The long-awaited segment is here, where Jimmy and Brian debate who the most thrilling NBA, NFL and MLB players are today. Shohei Ohtani and Elly De La Cruz are the top two in baseball in terms of electricity according to the show hosts, but who wears that cape in football? Offensively is it Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill? On defense is it Chris Jones, Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald or Colts DT Deforest Buckner? Where will Anthony Richardson fit into that list in the near future? Then, they turn their attention to the NBA with this debate and ask who the most thrilling player is in basketball. Is it Steph Curry without debate? What about the back-to-back NBA MVP and reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic?  (35:33-50:35) – Charlie Clifford is a former anchor and reporter for WISH-TV in Indianapolis, but now covers the Reds and Bengals in Cincinnati for NBC 5. Jimmy, Brian and Charlie talk about those moments in sports that still haunt you years later. Then, the focus shifts to the NL-leading Cincinnati Reds and the surprise success across all major Cincy sports of late. Will the Reds be buyers at the deadline? Brian asks him the most burning question of the day- is Shohei Ohtani or Elly De La Cruz more thrilling? They then move to the Indy sports scene for a bit with Colts talk. Support the show: https://1075thefan.com/query-and-company/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
