"Lakers needed that L to realize they are not invincible and they gotta do better. That's Kobe telling them to not let failures determine the future."

This was the IG story our guest shared moments after the Lakers lost Game 5 against the Heat. It was the same quote that made me feel a whole lot better after the frustration I felt after the game. 

In this episode, we invited one of the most inspiring people I've ever met - The One Armed Mamba Kat Tan! Listen in as she shares her passion for the late legend Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course, we vented out a bit about game 5, and shared our thoughts on how the Lakers can close out this series. We also talked about a player who must not be named (but eventually was) and some Kyrie Irving. 

This was definitely on of the most fun discussions we had not just because we talked about the team and player we loved but also because Kat’s passion for the game, for the player and for life despite of the accident some 20+ years ago is truly inspiring.

It is the NBA Finals! We never thought we'd get to this point after the NBA postponed the season last March. But we are here and one unlikely team made it to the big dance - the Miami Heat!   In this episode, we invited a couple of big Miami Heat fans, Jordan Coronado and Rappler writer and host of the At the Buzzer Podcast Naveen Ganglani to talk about this year's team, the Heat's journey to get here, the finals and the future.

Meet the unofficial Fantasy Benchwarmers love team!

This episode is quite interesting at the same time really fun. A few days before recording this episode, Eric and I were planning on who to have on the show and we had 2 choices in mind. Little did we know that we would eventually end up having these 2 DFS League managers part of our show at the same time just because it was meant to be. Just like our guests.

Find out more about how this episode with Team BRomulord manager Romulo Fiesta and Team Dough Joe manager Duzelle Montojo came about. Coincidentally, it was also their birthdays!

Happy birthday to Romeo and Duzelle! We hope you guys had fun on the show!
