Robert Horry, Rob Jenners and Brandon Harper return for Episode 254 after missing a show because Horry was called by the NBA to fly last-minute to Tokyo as a replacement for LaMarcus Aldridge, followed by a military charity event in Phoenix; Horry also mentions meeting the creator of One Piece and receiving unreleased Lakers collab gear for his kids. They recap college hoops including UCLA women’s blowout of South Carolina, Michigan’s title run built via transfers, debate NIL money, portal movement, coach/player accountability, and discuss a Trump executive order proposal limiting transfers and eligibility.
The conversation shifts to the Lakers as Luka suffers a grade-2 left hamstring strain and AR an oblique strain, then covers standings, the 65-game awards rule, Giannis vs. the Bucks investigation, Jokic’s historic stat pace, WNBA’s Angel Reese trade to the Dream, anti-tanking lottery proposals, a “knockoff candies” game inspired by a stolen Kit Kat truck, and a Big Shot of the Week honoring Texas dads who bought a crossing guard a car.
