- If you don’t understand the killing of George Floyd is the product of centuries-old systemic wrongs–if you’re somehow uneasy about the protests--that’s on you. You haven’t tried. You haven’t thought beyond your own experiences and privilege. Change requires empathy and action.Understanding the plight of young African American men is a requirement to making the necessary connection to coach in the NBA, but he believes it is even more than that: It's a requirement of an American citizen who wants this carnage to end.
- Sample texts from NBA team execs: "This is the first time I've been legitimately shocked and could not move;"What a terrible deal" (no further clarification); and my favorite (among dozens in a similar vein) "What the f-ckity f-ck?????"
- Let me tell you, a currently "on sabbatical" NBA person's phone has never blown up like this LOL
- Good morning. Time to knock the rust off.You asked, we answered. The Zach Lowe Show, part of the Ringer Podcast Network. Coming soon to Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00 - HAPPY NBA OPENING NIGHT!!!!! Only prediction I'll share here: Celtics over Thunder in the 2025 NBA Finals, Boston breaks the NBA's no-repeat streak. I'll be watching, talking to/meeting with people around the league, traveling a bit to games -- the usual. Enjoy the games!
- Also I have a very important NBA update: I still cannot believe Luka Doncic is on the Lakers. Like, literally. I feel like I'm hallucinating every time I watch them play.
- I declare no one wins and everyone should go home and think about what they have done
- Scene from the Lowe house tonight: Interviewing NBA head coach, daughter barges in and demands to say hi to whoever is on the phone so relentlessly there is no solution other than to give in. "Ok, say hi to the coach." "HELLO, MR. POOP!" Coach: "I've been called worse."
- Ok, now do Kyrie for Russ and just reunite the 2012 Thunder. @KendrickPerkins could come out of retirement for that.
- What are you even supposed to say about what is going on with the Mavs right now? This is an NBA apocalypse.
- Reminder that the Pacers technically drafted Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in back-to-back drafts LOL where is that coffee I ordered!
- It's official: Mike Conley is an All-Star. Something nice in the world.
