Verno and Jacoby discuss some things that are worth mentioning since the start of the new year, beginning with why the Pelicans decided to suspend Zion Williamson (01:41). They then discuss two of the hottest teams in the league right now (10:20), the Hawks struggles (17:03), and why the Thompson twins are the most unique players in the NBA (20:44). After that, they debate whether they are bothered by how seemingly perfect Steph Curry is (29:32), the critical stretch for the Sixers (36:06), the Nets GM openly admitting to tanking (41:32), and the bad rookie class from this season (45:22).

Brown probably got fired because these kids today do not want to be coached. To obvious to see with how pampered kids are today.
Take a picture of your kids art before you throw it away. Win win
Jacoby 😂
Curry isn’t perfect, he hates affordable housing
Amazing chemistry, great pod! Don't take it for granted, though 🙏🏽
Oh so this is why tyreek Evans ain’t in the league
4:30 And Tyreke Evans wonders why he's not in the league. 🙄
Kings fan. He obviously lost Fox, he never got along with Monk, he never played Keon Ellis, I don't think he got along with Keegan.
Timestamp for Kid Paintings psycho rant?
Jacoby said the quiet stuff loud and having kids I’m hear you Jacoby 🤣
Two goofy dudes talking ball makes my day every day. Jacobys pettiness always on point 😂😂
Jacoby…. dont call curry an unrelatable perfect man while wearing that sweater my man lol
43:50. Pelicans arent tanking, they've been devastated by injuries.
How old is Vernon?
They won all their games with fox out lmao.
How are the pistons not one of the two hottest teams?
07 is definitely not the same era as 25. thats an entire 18 year old life span. 4 or 5 complete cycles of college and high school kids. Almost nothing now is like life back in 07. Sorry Jacoby you’re just getting old.
I stopped listening when he proposed throwing away your child’s art. Smh. Oh it was the end…not coming back for a while. Terrible person🤦🏽♂️
The Thompson twins are well worth mentioning. Heads who aren’t talking today are gonna have to catch up, eat crow, or talk New York slick to save face
Amen is the only guy i’ve seen jump vertically through a guy that wasn’t shaq.
Thompson twins are really supercharged Draymond Green
34:53 Curry did endorsements for FTX. He had no problem accepting money from a group of criminals and was sued for it. I call that a bit of a scandal.
If Zion can’t stay healthy in his teenage years and his 20s I wouldn’t be expecting anything better in his 30s. This can be applied to Joel Embiid
I love this show but unique is not modifiable.
Now everyone is a thomspon twins fan. I was first to market on this pre draft. You guys no nothing about hoops.
Put them in a folder Jacoby god dam lol.
Remember Steph lived in Torint9 and it is where he met Ayesha-
"I'm gonna spin this negative" – Jacoby
Truly inspirational hate 😂
