What medical question gets Zaslow kicked out of the room?

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. I think that we can all agree that Steve Kerr is somebody who is exceptional at his job, even though Steve Kerr, before getting that job, had no experience whatsoever to tell us that.
Like, I'm not even saying that he had experience that would disprove that. He had no experience. He was hired as a head coach who didn't have experience, could have chosen between the Knicks and the Warriors. Derek Fisher took the Knicks, never worked again. Head coaching, Steve Kerr ends up being multi-time champion. When Tristan Juju mentioned Jonathan Kamingo, okay, and I see what's happening there, this is always confusing to me, Zez, because I've heard so many athletes over the years say, ah, politics, that's the only reason that I didn't get my opportunity. I was a star, I could have been a star, I just didn't get a chance. have so few jobs in that sport and when that champion is established it's going to be really hard for a young person to break in there what do you make of the fact is Steve Kerr wrong is Steve Kerr wrong about Jonathan Kaminga or is it just that I could give any number of people in that sport
the ball, showcase them, and all the offenses are going to get to 110 points. So if I'm giving the ball to the one guy and saying, well, you're a majestic talent, then he's going to be great, but the team's going to be, you know, not a champion. Not as good as Steve Kerr's team has been. So I feel like that's something we could say about someone like Cam Johnson, what he's done. Cam Thomas, I get them confused with the Nets. It was just traded. Yeah, waived by the Nets, but clearly a good offensive player. Waived by the Nets in a way that made a mean shock that he was waived by the Nets because everyone knows he's a great offensive player. Yeah, Cam Thomas. I feel like that's something we could say about a guy like Cam Thomas.
Somebody's going to be a looter and a riot on a bad team, and maybe that's Cam Thomas.

How does Draymond Green critique media coverage of Luka Doncic?

We'll find out. Jonathan Kaminga was the seventh overall pick in the draft. Like Jonathan Kaminga is expect when you're selected seventh overall, you're expected to be a guy who's going to be a really good player. And I hear this narrative coming out of Golden State, you know, people around the team where it's like, ah, you know, Kaminga, he was never going to work, you know, in this Golden State offense. He was never going to work on Steph's team, you know. I'm sorry. Maybe he's not going to be the guy that's scoring 22 points a game so far in his three, four games with the Hawks, but he's riding 17 consecutive did-not-play-coaches decisions. Get the hell out of here. Yeah, I think that's a... A fair indictment.
And you talk about Spoh, I think that there are things that you can look at within Steve Kerr and say that that is a cautionary tale as well. If you talk to Warriors fans, they're not saying that Steve Kerr is the best coach or that he doesn't have warts, right? And you look at him as a developer. He's really, really good with high-end top players. talent that are veterans that he came in like Steph Curry but what did he do with Moses Moody? What did he do with James Wiseman? What has he done with Jonathan Kaminga? Pods is the only one that's kind of like had some good moments and even he I think is a player that you could say maybe should be developed more. I think honestly that's probably the biggest problem that the Warriors have had is developing talent and I think that falls squarely on Steve Kerr.
