LeBron to the Warriors?! | Ranking World Cup Fanbases | Phil Mickelson’s Creepy Pick-up Move

The NBA rumor mill is officially in overdrive. We break down reports that LeBron James has told the Lakers they can move on after securing Bronny’s guaranteed contract, plus the wild possibility of LeBron, Anthony Davis, Steph Curry, and Draymond Green joining forces in Golden State. We also discuss Kawhi Leonard’s rumored return to Toronto and ask the important question: what’s the funniest possible destination for LeBron? Then we shift to the World Cup, where Germany’s penalty shootout collapse, Uruguay’s charter flight cancellation, and an electric Round of 32 gave us plenty to talk about. We also debate whether American soccer fans should stop trying to recreate European atmospheres and instead embrace what makes U.S. sports culture unique. We also rank the best World Cup fanbases, from Japan’s stadium-cleaning supporters to Scotland’s Tartan Army, Norway’s Viking celebrations, Mexico’s relentless fans, and DR Congo’s unforgettable Lumumba statue supporter. Plus: * Carlos Mendoza gets fired… while Mr. Met keeps dancing. * Kirk Herbstreit unloads on the Cincinnati Reds. * Can you still call yourself a good fan if you stop watching when your team stinks? * The unbelievable Terrion Arnold story. * Phil Mickelson’s resurfaced creepy pickup story. * Mexican Batman becomes our newest hero. 🍻 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/jvY9dgX8Sf 👍 Like the video if you enjoyed it. 📺 Subscribe for new live shows every week. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode.
