Chapter 1: What record did Bam Adebayo break during the game?
Jeremy has not said a word to anyone yet this morning. He's preening, though. Like, he's walking around like a peacock. But normally, like, he's shot out of a cannon. Yeah, can't shut him up. Can't shut him up. And he thinks he's being slick by having not said anything yet. I would follow you down this if he wasn't on with Samson for an hour bragging.
I'm saving it because I was told I'll be getting the first 83 minutes of the show to myself. I did think actually that it was quiet around here, and I hadn't realized that it's because he was doing the Samson show, nothing personal, because David had to tend to some family matters.
So Jeremy was doing a different show where nationally he was annoying that audience, a whole new audience, just doing hyperventilating. Don't annoy other audiences just here because the way you all have positioned me as if I don't know what I'm talking about. We've positioned you. You don't think you've put yourself in that position. Not at all. You think that I was likable until I got here.
I tell you over and over again because I'm right about everything. You were not likable before you got here. Yes, I was. It's the only reason I have any of the jobs I have is because I was likable. I wasn't a professional. Now I'm a professional. Let's loosen up the shoulders a little bit. It's a big day for you. You don't need it.
You're not backed up against a corner, even though you literally are on this show. Yep. Just this is your day. Have fun, man. Enjoy it. You're right. It's my fault. I came in feeling a little defensive, but I did want this to sort of be a choose your own adventure. Either we could all decide together.
that we can celebrate this really cool moment where one of the pillars in the franchise that we all care about's history set a record for points scored in a game that was actually televised, or I could be an asshole, and I really hope it's the first one. Are you threatening us? I'm just telling you what it's gonna be. You're threatening us? No, I'm just telling you what it's gonna be.
What it's going to be. Wow, Dan. Did you hear that? Woo, that sounds like a movie poster right there. That sounds like something Denzel would say in The Equalizer. Are you threatening me?

Chapter 2: How did the crew react to Bam's performance on 'Jeremy Was Right' Day?
No, I'm just telling you factually what it's going to be. That's how it's going to be. Has anyone ever brought this energy after beating the Wizards? Happy Jeremy was right day. There it is. I do enjoy Zaslow, the idea of him angrily saying, I'm likable. I like the character of defensive guy claiming he's likable in the face of people not liking him.
Jeremy's right, Dave, but what was he right about exactly?
Because you have to have a prediction. It's not like he's like, you know what? Bam's going to score 60 tonight. You all have been trading Bam at a bio. for years. It's a great time to sell high. And I've been telling you, he's a superstar, which he is. Actual NBA legend.
Would really work in the Heat's favor if the trade deadline didn't pass a couple weeks ago.
You guys are pathetic. This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Simone Fontecchio with 18 points last night. Jeremy, the floor, the entire floor today is yours. Go ahead, celebrate your Bam Adebayo Miami Heat. Bam Adebayo passes. Ah, the NFL news, it never stops. Are you kidding me? Breaking news.
news according to Ari Merov the Ravens are signing formal Bengals all pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson you swap out one white guy for another white guy four-time pro bowler brings his 81 career sacks to Baltimore after they rescinded the Max Crosby trade on Tuesday night dad
That is excellent breathlessness. The only thing to be breathless about today. A big deal. Yeah, that is a pass rusher. Those are valuable. Last night, I think people were fairly shocked when the Raiders announced that the Ravens had pulled out of the Crosby deal, which made me feel like this is more than just a failed physical.
Doctors have a lot of leeway on whether a team can or wants to do something. I don't know. I mean... Of course he's going to fail a physical. He's coming off of knee surgery. His knee's not working, right?

Chapter 3: What were the criticisms surrounding Bam Adebayo's 83-point game?
It's a big deal. Imagine. How many career sacks did you say? 81. 81? Yeah, 81.
That was a little rude. Wow.
He's a great DM. Two fewer sacks than Bam had points in a basketball game last night. Yeah, but again, you're taking from a division rival to bolster your own team.
If you want, we could talk about the heart of a champion, which was on... Full display in Sunrise last night. Come on, son.
Swaggy.
Come on.
Last night was a where were you moment in South Florida sports. Dan, where were you when Sam Bennett got his 200th career assist? You are pathetic, people. That was in the press box. They were down 3-2 with, what was it, 40 seconds left? A minute and change. But you guys have been telling me for six weeks their season is over. Tony hasn't even tuned in yet. Where are they?
They're at the very bottom of the conference. Nobody wants to answer me. How many games are left in the season? How many points are they back? Let me... Let's take you to last night. Down 3-2 against the Detroit Red Wings, who are better than them. They're chasing this team in the standings. They pull their goalie. Swaggy equalizes.
And like he did that fateful night in Boston that started this whole run, Swaggy calls game. Wow.

Chapter 4: How did the national dialogue frame Bam's record-breaking performance?
Jorge Posada on the staff. Really? Look, I'm part Italian. I root for Italian national team sports, except for when they play the USA. But my relationship with baseball is not at the greatest place, and that was an incredible underdog story. And the way that the U.S. approached that game, I was kind of rooting against them. And DeRosa, perhaps an undercover agent.
So what do you guys make of this and how often have you seen what happened with Mark DeRosa, the manager of the United States, where he just doesn't seem to understand going into the game what the stakes of the game are? Go ahead and play that. You got nine bodies ready to roll today, I would imagine.
Absolutely. I'm going to look at it. I'm going to get some guys off their feet, no question about it. I'd like to get Goldie to start. He has been awesome, just a leader of men behind the scenes with Aaron Judge. I'd like to get him in there. I'd like to get Gunnar in there again. A ton of respect for Italy. It's weird.
We want to win this game, even though our tickets punch to the quarterfinals, because Mexico plays Italy actually tomorrow. So the way the schedule lines up, this is an important game for us.
How is that possible? How is somebody in charge not understanding? When I say to you, what does this person need to understand going into the game? What can this person not understand? It's what are the stakes of this game? Yeah. The great part is, like, he starts talking, and then, like, halfway through, he realizes, like, oh, wait, maybe this is not, I don't really know what we need to do.
So I'm going to get, you know, it's a game we want to win, obviously. Like, it's someone on the other side of the camera. We need to win. It's actually a tournament. It's a tournament. I don't know who's on Italy. Please get for me who's on Italy. But Mike, you found yourself actively rooting for Italy, rooting against the United States. Yeah.
Like I said, I tend to root for Italian national teams, but I always root for the USA when they're head to head. But as the Italians grew into their lead and social media started putting DeRosa's arrogance first, out there, I was like, well, you deserve this embarrassment. Well, it was stupidity, not arrogance, right? I mean, they're one and the same.
The way that he came off there was both arrogant and stupid in retrospect.

Chapter 5: What does Bam's achievement mean for the Miami Heat franchise?
America right now? No! Right, who believes? No! Can't believe it. No, we don't. What? How dare you call America and say we're coming off as arrogant and stupid? I mean, going into an event, not knowing the situations, ramifications, having an exit strategy. Iran? Well, I was trying to do that more suddenly. I know.
When you got to exit strategy, I had my joke lined up before you got to exit strategy, but I'm still mad at you because... Because he doesn't understand anything about Miami Heat basketball? We'll get to that story in a second. Jacob Birdie's on the team, or John Birdie, one of the two. Jacob Marcy, John Birdie. They got J's. We will get to what it is that Bam Adebayo did in just a second.
But my favorite parts of yesterday's show were twofold. One happened on air. One happened after the show off air.
My favorite part of yesterday's show is that Stan Van Gundy spent a full hour talking to Jonathan Zaslow, who he's known for 20 years, and he never commented on a burgeoning eyebrow situation that made him, over the course of yesterday's show, look by the end of the show like someone that we were talking about.
We need to be careful how much black we put on his face here because we don't want to haveā So much eyebrows here that we cross over into a dangerous place where we go past the Ben Shapiro eyebrows. Spectacular. So I love that Stan Van Gunning never commented on that, just kept staring at you, and you've just got giant, unreasonably not human eyebrows.
But also what I enjoyed yesterday is Mike raging against a puppet that looks like me. Mike screaming and yelling at a puppet that I've now given... to Tony so that Tony can start working with this puppet. We had this professionally made. This is the first time the puppet's actually been on screen. You'll have a puppet. Despite, you know, being here for two days and us trying to integrate it.
Well, you were mad at all of the logistics, but you took out that rage on the puppet. The puppet does look somewhat like me. It should have been made heavier. The beard is a little grayer than it should be. We've had to paint the hair black. You pulled the pants up a little bit? He needs a belt.
Jesus.
Wait a minute. This has become a pornographic show. No, it's that I can't get my hand all the way up your... That's one of the issues with it. Anyway, we will see what happens with the puppet later.

Chapter 6: What were the key moments in the game that led to Bam's scoring?
I don't like that.
What do you mean? This makes me uncomfortable.
Makes two of us. The nudity of the puppet or just the existence of the puppet in general?
No, I like the Lebba puppet in general, but it's got its pants down.
It also has four fingers on each hand. I don't know why it is that this puppet maker... Everybody knows puppets only have four fingers.
Everybody knows that.
Puppets are caunchy.
Put it on the poll at Levitard Show. Does everyone know that puppets have only four fingers on each hand? But we have fooled around long enough. I really do want to talk about what it is that happened last night because I assume only Miami thinks that that is a good and fun thing.
I'm going to assume that today, all over the media, you will get people fervently, passionately, and religiously protecting the honor. of the late Kobe Bryant by feeling like Bam Adebayo's name doesn't belong beyond Kobe Bryant in scoring in a game. So the first thing I wanna ask you guys is, ridiculous though this is, Bam Adebayo scores 83 points in a game.

Chapter 7: How does Bam's performance compare to other legendary games in NBA history?
He's like, hey, do you want some company? I said, from you, Mochetta? Absolutely. Mochetta comes over to the house and I pull out the Miller Lite. Miller Lite made that casual hang a memorable good Miller time with my good friend Mochetta because Miller Lite brought us together. We took that first sip after we toasted our beers and we knew we made the right call. We watched a game.
All of a sudden, we're standing up on our feet, big threes are being drained, and white cans are being clanged. See times like these? That's exactly why Miller Lite is my go-to. Clean, refreshing, easy to drink, brewed for taste with simple ingredients. The original Lite beer since 1975, and it still hits different for yours truly and his good friend Mochetta.

Last night, something happened with Heat basketball that I believe is going to be found offensive by basketball purists, by the nation at large. It is only going to be celebrated here. Let's get some of the criticism that is just rolling in from last night. Here is Rockets coach Ime Udoka.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of Bam's game for the future of the Heat?
I mean, it's true. When I saw it was 43 free throw attempts, I was like, what? Yeah, which was shocking enough. But then the pause, ellipsis, Washington Wizards. The crazy part is that they were all legitimate fouls. Like at the end. No. I mean, sure. Yes. Okay.
Sure.
What? What do you want? They didn't touch him. They hacked him. Like he took the ball late in the game after playing all those minutes, drove in and got hacked. Like, the ability to escape with four minutes left in the game, they started triple teaming him, and he's getting out of that. Jeremy, he was playing like Marshawn Lynch.
He was just grabbing the ball and running through four people to try and get something in. There was that one time that Eric Reid touted his unselfishness. He passed the ball. Can you believe it? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, it's better than that, Mike, because it was that I wrote it down because it was the single funniest thing in the entire broadcast.
Funnier than even the challenges at the end. No, the funniest thing in the broadcast is what I'm about to read, because this is an exact quote from Eric Reid late in the third quarter. Bam, who's being now triple teamed on fadeaway jumpers. OK, because the Wizards are just like, this is embarrassing enough. We're going to put four guys on him.
Eric Reid says, and they at this point, because there's no Tyler Hero, because there's no Norman Powell, because there's no Wiggins, okay? They are spending the entire broadcast talking about someone in BAM who they've talked about for nine years. So they've gone to the reservoir bank of he's such a good person. So many times. He's a good player, but he's even better as a person.
They've talked about this human being so much for nine years. They don't have anything to say, and they can't talk about any of the players. But this is what Eric Reid has said. In fact, I'm going to stop for a second and give you the second funniest thing that he said, because the second funniest thing he said was another time out for the helpless Washington wizards. I have empathy for them.
That's something that he actually said. But the thing that he said that was the funniest is. Bam didn't get greedy. He passed it to an open teammate. That's the essence of your captain. It was his second assist in the game. He was already at 70 points and had taken 37 shots. He had taken 37 shots and there were 70 guys on him. There were wizards from the past.
Rod Strickland ran on the court and was guarding him. I saw Calvert-Cheney. So what happened in the end of that game? The last five minutes ruined it the way that it's going to be nationally perceived. So let's get to some more sound because here's J.J. Redick talking about Bam Adebayo and protecting Kobe's legacy. It's incredible what he was able to do.
