How is James Harden perceived in the basketball community?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy. Not quite. On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between-songs banter.
Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

877 for the Herd. Our thanks to Sean McDonough for joining us in hour number one. Jeff Passan is going to join us in the third hour of today's show. We will get to the Cavs and Pistons here in just a second, but I realize the audience is missing Colin, so let's get AI Colin's thoughts here quickly, guys, on the Pistons-Cavs series. Detroit going up two zip on Cleveland tells you everything. This isn't a cute story. It's a power move. Cade Cunningham closes again with 25 and 10. Tobias Harris gives you 21. And the Pistons are dictating the terms of the series like the one seed should. Cleveland's getting big nights. Donovan Mitchell had 31. Jared Allen had 22. And it still feels like they're playing catch up the whole game.
Hmm. There's a name there for the Cavs he left out. He was three of 13 from the field. He's terrible in the postseason. He's James Harden. Stu, he is so laughable. It is funny to me that now it was sort of reawakened, the James Harden versus Dwayne Wade, who was the better two guard. It is such a laughable debate. Such a laughable debate when you really think about it, because James Harden is...
What arguments are made about Harden's playoff performance?
Well, first of all, can you think of the career highlight defensive play of James Harden? I cannot. No. No. I can think of one. It was a no-look swipe that he had on somebody. I want to say it was Patrick Beckman. Maybe not. He just looked the other way and swiped down and eventually got a steal out of that. That's it. Okay. There are so many highlight blocks and steals from Dwayne Wade.
