What are the implications of using a 10-foot pole in discussions?
Welcome to the Big Suey, 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.
Nice. You said that with a lot of force. I feel like that was a really good read, Greg. You're on fire so far tonight, man. I appreciate that. Thanks, Az. Why is there a poll behind Tony? from the start of our show today.
Juju has the poles. We usually do that at the end of the show.
No, no, no. It's that like an actual pole. It's a pole more like a staff. I'm glad. It's time to start holding people's feet to the fire here around this show. You know, like everybody loves to talk about what they will and won't touch with a figurative 10-foot pole. Tony's back there talking about this, that, and the other. Everybody, that's what the show's about. But you know what? We go the extra mile. It's not a figurative 10-foot pole. We have a literal 10-foot pole. What will you touch with it or refuse to touch? Tony's nine feet tall, I guess. All right. All right. So how do we get this started then? Well, let's do some basketball. Actually, should we hand that thing to Amin? Let's see how it's done. Give that one to Amin.
Give it to Amin. He's the basketball guy, right?
So he's holding the pole. He's holding a 10-foot pole.
Careful of the cameras and the lighting. All right. There you go.
All right.
All right, listen. People were very upset in Dallas a year ago when Luka went from the Mavs to the Lakers. And people, boundless optimism in Los Angeles when Luka arrived. Titles, multiple titles, not one, not two. Luka now, there's some discord. People are unhappy with him. Amin, Luka will finish his time with the Lakers without winning a single ring. Will you touch that with the literal 10-foot pole? Where's the image? We need the image of old Luka there. I will stab it.
Stab it with a 10-foot pole because here's the deal as I gingerly put this thing down. All right, number one, winning championships is hard. We see it every year. People get hurt. People get suspended. People... Lose the motivation to play hard, apparently. Coaches mess up. So just the act of winning a championship is never a given in the NBA. Number two, Luka Doncic has not historically been a durable guy. No, I'm not doing a let's support Nico Harrison's BS trade thing, but there was a kernel of truth in, like, how do we know this guy is going to stay durable? Number three, he plays in the Western Conference, and as we see every day, the Western Conference is cutthroat. You could be a championship caliber team and never even get a chance.
Why? Because the Western Conference. And number four, the biggest thing about the current CBA is nothing is permanent. Guys are getting traded left and right to say, oh, he'll finish his Laker career with a championship. How long is his Laker career even going to be? He might be gone in a couple of years. Paul Hamels.
in there. So Amin would touch that with a 10-foot pole. So as a result, he's got the pole. I'm stabbing it with the 10-foot pole.
There's no fear in my heart when it comes to this.
I have another one then. Hand this one off to Tony. Let's see how he feels about that. It came up yesterday when Greg Cody came in here and said that he had just finished off an egg and sausage, egg and ham.
How does Luka Doncic's future with the Lakers impact his legacy?
Is that what you said? I think it was egg and ham. Egg and ham, yeah. Egg and ham croissant, which was a weird way to articulate what he had just eaten because generally people go meat and then the egg is the afterthought.
Like ham and egg, yeah.
Yeah, right. Like a ham and egger. But now what really caught my ear was that you mentioned ham, which is in my book the best of all breakfast meats, underrated though it may be.
