What is the main theme of the episode featuring Kenny Beecham?
Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
This episode of the Dan Levitard Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. You should get more Trista and Juju in your life. They have great chemistry. The name of the show is Alley Oop. You can find it on YouTube at DLS Hoops.
How do the Cavs and Pistons rank among NBA teams?
We also have a fellow enjoyer of basketball here. I think it's the ultimate enjoyer of basketball, although Trista and Juju might have some objections. Not you, Tony. Kenny Beecham is the co-founder of of Enjoy Basketball, part of the NBA on NBC coverage. He's the host of Numbers on the Board and Small Ball with Kenny Beecham. It airs weekdays on NBC Sports Now and Peacock, as do we. Welcome, Kenny, your maiden voyage on the show. Are you more of an enjoyer of basketball than Juju and Trista? Because I'm being told you're the ultimate enjoyer of basketball.
I think there's room for a lot of people on this boat. I don't know if I'm the captain, but man, anytime somebody tells me they're enjoying it, I feel great, because I feel like there's not many of us left. So thank you for having me. I'm excited to be here.
Well, I think we need to adjudicate something, and I think you, as the ultimate enjoyer of basketball, know the history of this.
Why are the Charlotte Hornets considered the most fun team in the NBA?
Dan thinks it's very uncommon to call each other b**** and b**** in sports. I think it's quite normal. I call my own mom a hoe, so if we were playing hoops, listen, anything can go down. Kenny, what say you?
I mean, that's what the game is about, right? What? He's right, I like this guy.
Park their cars in the same row.
Between the lines, you can do and say what you want, but once that buzzer's over and everything's out, you go back to friendship. So I'm team say what you want on the court, for sure.
Trista misrepresents me. What I said is that you cannot say after the game that you respect somebody when that is disrespectful.
Semantics. Get between the lines, Levitard.
Has never been an athlete, Ken.
What are the arguments for and against firing Erik Spoelstra?
I could tell. You can obviously tell that. He says I ran, and that's the closest that he's actually doing to running. Are there too many Jalens in the NBA?
I would think that there's actually not enough. I think the 2028 draft clash, the entire lottery, should be Jalens. I think it's the only way we can really counteract and have the Team USA be better than Team World.
Moving on to more disagreeable conversations. Do you believe in this version of the Cleveland Cavaliers with James Harden at the helm?
I see what you're rocking right now, so I'll give you your love. Yeah, I do. I do, I do, I do. I mean, you saw last night how good defensively they can be without two starters. I'm full in, even though James has struggled in many postseason series, as we know. I'm completely in, and I think it might just be like,
What is Stephen A. Smith's latest criticism of Zion Williamson?
All of them. The fact that it's new. The Knicks have been around for a few years. The Pistons can't really score. So give me the new backcourt, and I'm all in on the Cavs.
I've got another thing for you to adjudicate. I'm sorry. I've been besmirching Cade, and I'm going to continue to besmirch Cade. I don't think he's even close to MVP in the universe in the conversation. If he wins the award, I think he needs to give it back, Kenny, because he's not in the same world or stratosphere as Jokic and SGA. Ouch. What do you think about Cade and the Pistons here? Do you believe in them?
I think that Cade is a phenomenal player. But I would agree that if the 65 game rule prevents us from having Shea or Jokic as MVP, then that shows you that there is a true problem.
How does the discussion reflect on the future of the Pelicans franchise?
Last night is a great example of the lows of the lows with Cade Cunningham.
