Best of the week on The Herd

The Herd with Colin Cowherd delivers a high-energy, analysis-packed episode centered on the evolving narratives in college and professional sports. Key themes include the meteoric rise of the Spurs and Victor Wemby, the growing controversy around Jalen Hurts' leadership and on-field influence in Philadelphia, and the Lakers' surprising dominance in March despite defensive flaws. Cowherd argues that the Lakers are a uniquely balanced offensive team, especially in clutch situations, and that their matchup with the Rockets is ideal due to Houston's lack of a true point guard. He also revisits his long-standing skepticism about the value of coaching in the NBA, citing J.J. Reddick’s impact with the Lakers as evidence that player talent often outweighs coaching. The episode features a heartfelt interview with Del Curry, former NBA player and father of Steph Curry, reflecting on his career, the evolution of the three-point shot, and the pressures of being a franchise face. The show concludes with a nostalgic look at the changing landscape of sports media and the enduring appeal of star power, from Tiger Woods to Wemby and Curry.
