We are back for real ones. The moment everyone's been waiting for, the real ones press box crossover that we seem to do every year. I got Joel Anderson. I got Brian Curtis. We are here to give our first ever power rankings of NBA studio shows.
What are the highlights of Amazon's NBA coverage?
I'm very excited. And we have another segment that we're going to do at the end where we create our own studio show. I got the best in the business, the Avengers of media journalism and media criticism. How are you guys doing?
I mean, I don't normally get to get on Netflix, man. This is a big deal for me. I'm gonna tell my mom. My mom may engage in some of this content because she's got that Netflix subscription. So I'm just honored that you would have us on. Yeah. We usually prefer the Dream Team to the Avengers, just FYI, but we're good with that too.
Oh, okay. Okay, okay.
How does ESPN's studio show perform during the postseason?
Avengers is more my generation. That's 2024. You guys are 92. I forgot. I apologize. We are the last. All right, let's get right into it, man. Let's talk about NBC first as our first studio segment show in our power ranking. Let's start with the studio show. We got Maria Taylor. They have combined her with Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady. Let's start with Joel. What have been your thoughts on that pairing? Give me a little bit of your power rankings and how you feel about them and a best out of 10.
So it's, it's interesting because those three players you mentioned are probably, if I, if there was some sort of ranking of like the coolest players of like the arts or whatever.
What elements make a successful studio show?
They would probably be it. You know, like Vince Carter, who, you know, was the dunk champ. Tracy McGrady, who, I mean, the only guy I've ever seen throw the ball off the backboard and dunk it in a regulation NBA game. And Carmelo could just get buckets. But I just, I feel like they're still figuring it out. Like, and what I think I do is I want to listen more to Vince's and Tracy's podcast. Because sometimes I listen, I see clips of it and I'm like, They still, like, for being cousins or whatever, it just hasn't translated yet, and I don't quite know what that is. And, like, Carmelo is always just very chill in a way that I'm just like, he doesn't project a lot. So there's not a lot of enthusiasm. It's just like they always got to be like, are you guys awake?
You know, are you guys excited about this at all or what? Maria is a pro. Like, I mean, and she's been doing this forever. But of the, I mean, I don't think, are we doing, we're not ranking them yet, are we?
Not yet, not yet. Not yet, okay. It seems like you're giving it away, but not quite yet.
Not yet, okay, yeah. Well, I mean, but I feel like it has a ways to go. I don't think it's bad. I think the idea of pairing Vince and Tracy, cousins who have already a rapport with each other, is a solid one. I guess I'm just interested to see what happens with Carmelo. Because even on his own podcast, again, clips, I'm just like, He seems like a fun person to hang out with, but not necessarily somebody I got to listen to talk on TV. Is that fair, Brian? I think it is. That show kind of reminds me of that Nets team that got KG and Paul Pierce and all those veterans and just like, we're just going to roll it out and see what happens.
