Episode 2274: Baseball Shuts Up Shop, Ken’s Top Ten NBA Players, Mad Dog Barks, Tiger Growls
It’s all things American on today’s show as Ken, inspired both by Steph’s warm-up routine and the king of US sports shock jocks in Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo, chooses his top ten NBA players of all time.
Then we chat with US Murph about a dark day in baseball: earlier this week, the MLB commissioner Rob Manfred cancelled the opening day of the upcoming season as well as the first 90 games, as the players and owners failed to complete a new collective bargaining agreement. What happens when a sport just stops? And who’s at fault in the eyes of the fans?
Plus Tiger Woods has decided to kick Phil Mickelson while he’s down, while Rory has done the opposite and walked back his recent criticism of Mickelson’s Saudi comments.
