Bomani Jones begins the show by discussing the Olympics, more specifically the Opening Ceremony, which featured athletes on boats and Celine Dion. Bomani explains how Paris will not be outdone when it comes to putting on a show. (1:00) The conversation extends into the narratives of these athletes and how he still doesn't like big professional athletes competing in sports like basketball and tennis. Bomani then transitions specifically to Olympic basketball following USA's victory over Serbia. He breaks down the fact that it will be nearly impossible to stop a team featuring LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry, but also highlights the fact that people came away from that victory complaining about Jayson Tatum's minutes. (20:45) And finally, we end the show with another round of stories from If You Haven't Heard and your voicemails on trash talk stories.
