HasBeens Podcast

Cam & Doug return for a loaded episode of The Has Beens Podcast — breaking down the NBA playoffs, calling out the analysts who doubted the Lakers, and celebrating Bronny James outscoring half the league. We dive into Angel Reese trolling Jalen Duren, the Blazers’ new owner cutting costs everywhere, and the Knicks celebrating with Magic City wings after a playoff win.

Cam also unleashes a full rant on the Phoenix Suns forcing Devin Booker to play point guard, and we look at the Nuggets/Wolves injuries, Rudy Gobert’s defense, and the rise of WNBA/NBA crossover beef.

Plus: a live call from Mike (eventually), trolling culture in sports, and plenty of laughs.
