LeBron surpasses 40,000 points and Wembanyama exceeds the hype
The gang marvels at the absurdity of LeBron James passing 40,000 regular season points scored in his illustrious career. Erik, Anu, and A.C. examine how LeBron scores, why he isn't widely considered a "pure" scorer, and how remarkably consistent he has been in his career. They also debate whether anyone will catch LeBron in career scoring and ponder just how many points LeBron will wind up with by the time he retires.
And then the boys turn to French rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama and discuss just how unique his game is. They discuss his defensive dominance and offensive versatility. They also lament the lack of adequate talent around him and the unwillingness of his Spurs teammates to let him shine. And when asked to hypothesize about just how great Wemby could be, Erik has a hot take while A.C. compares him to...Taylor Swift?!
