An ideal time to podcast with fellow indie media man Andrew Sharp, King of the Generalists. In addition to podcasting about the NBA, Andrew also co-hosts podcasts on technology and China. Obviously, there were topics to discuss. Subjects include but aren’t limited to…

* Are America and China at war?

* The precarious nature of what we need from Taiwan

* “America is the biggest customer and the customer is always right”

* Are we actually friends-friends with Canada?

* Luka Dončić whines too much and we don’t feel bad that he got mistakenly ejected

* Does Luka have a fetish for arguing against correct calls?

* The Dallas Mavericks’ tone deaf effort to welcome Luka back

* Do Andrew and I believe in the Warriors?

* I do a mea culpa about Ime Udoka
