Sports Central: Are Suns Fans Delusional About Their Chances?

Phoenix Suns fans are celebrating the arrivals of coach Mike Budenholzer and point guard Tyus Jones like they just became the instant favorites to win the west. Raul has some harsh truth for Suns fans. Additionally, Raul has thoughts on LeBron's comments about this year's men's Olympic team being "the best ever assembled" and the Lakers free agency woes continue to mount.

episode Sports Central: The New NBA Salary Cap - Explained artwork

Sports Central: The New NBA Salary Cap - Explained

The NBA is short-circuiting, as teams are frantically moving to not spend as much money as they once were. Teams like the Lakers and 76ers are trying to not go over what's called the "second apron", while teams like the Suns are frantically trying to shed salary. Raul explains why this is, why it's going to be difficult to shed salary once over the "second apron", and what the penalties are for spending too much money on player salary.

episode Sports Central: The Unfortunate (yet self-fulfilling) Fall of Ben Simmons artwork

Sports Central: The Unfortunate (yet self-fulfilling) Fall of Ben Simmons

Ben Simmons, laughable now as it may seem, was once a bright, promising player in the NBA. Drafted first overall by Philadelphia in 2016, Simmons won Rookie of the Year, was a runner-up at one point for Defensive Player of the Year, and was even an MVP candidate at one time. But as Raul points out, a series of events (mostly surrounding Ben's unwillingness to improve his shooting) led to his downfall, and could very well lead to his removal entirely from the NBA. What Ben can do to silence the naysayers, what the NBA needs to do to send a clear message to players, and what the Brooklyn Nets can do to improve their situation in the meantime.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
