3-26-26 Hour 2 - 53 for Jamal, (almost) 20-20-20 for Jokic/College coach carousel/Oh, By the Way...

The podcast opens with a thrilling recap of the Denver Nuggets' 142-135 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, highlighting Jamal Murray's career-best 53-point performance and Nikola Jokic's near 20-20-20 stat line. The hosts marvel at Jokic’s historic potential to lead the NBA in both assists and rebounds per game—a feat never before accomplished—while praising Murray’s elite efficiency, particularly his 68% three-point shooting and minimal free-throw reliance in his 50-point games. They reflect on the Nuggets’ golden era, calling Murray and Jokic the defining duo in franchise history, and express concern over the team’s tough upcoming postseason schedule, especially a potential first-round matchup with Minnesota. The conversation shifts to the college basketball coaching carousel, spotlighting Will Wade’s controversial return to LSU after being fired for recruiting violations, sparking debate on the moral decay of college athletics. The hosts critique the unchecked influence of NIL deals and private funding, likening the current landscape to a 'clown show' driven by wealthy donors and illicit financial flows. The segment closes with a humorous 'Oh, By the Way' feature on a North Korean zoo where a smoking monkey performs backflips and dunks basketballs—citing it as the ultimate zoo experience and jokingly proposing a live broadcast from Pyongyang.
