Ep.072 | CHAMP or BUST: Are We Expecting Too Much From Athletes?
Manage episode 479966956 series 3615663
In the NBA Playoffs, things got heated as Tyrese Haliburton's game-winner led to a near fight with Giannis — and Tyrese's dad. Is this tied to Haliburton being voted the league’s most overrated player? We also debate if a single star can win a playoff series, LeBron’s legacy stakes, and whether the NBA should bring back best-of-5 in Round 1.
Shedeur Sanders and Deion may have overplayed their hand — even Cris Carter and close insiders are saying it. Plus, is Nick Chubb on the way out in Cleveland? We break down his future, the Bears' culture shift under Ben Johnson, and when NFL teams should move on from injury-prone stars.
We look at the pressure on athletes: are fans expecting too much, or is that just part of the game?
