This week on the pod! We discuss the Jared McCain trade and the former Sixers' extreme levels of Little Cousin Energy before talking about Drew Hanlen's recent comments about Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Then, we get into the conspiracy about the NBA Draft Lottery, and how the Eastern Conference only gets the top pick in "off years" while the West gets all the "generational players." Finally, we talk tanking and the NBA's proposed changes to the lottery.

The Super Bowl is over, the Winter Olympics are in full swing, and NBA All-Star weekend is upon us. Keenan and Aaron debate whether the Summer games or the Winter games reign supreme, then they go deep on Nick Wright's proposition of a "White Guys Vs. Black Guys" NBA All-Star game format. Would it work? What would have to change? Who qualifies for which squad? Finally, we get into some hip-hop and our combined lack of interest in the newest J. Cole album.

The Stretch Four Podcast is back! Aaron's "paternity leave" from the pod is over (and now, so is his employment), so he's got all the time in the world to talk hoops, hip-hop, culture, and life with Keenan once again.
We have a lot to catch up on, but mostly end up talking about the Sixers' season so far. The good, the surprising, the ups, the downs, and (as always with the Sixers) the just plain weird.

Knicks fans shoot themselves in the karma foot by storming the streets of their city after winning a second-round playoff matchup and we refuse to let them off the hook for it, regardless of the irony of the Sixers' lack of similar success. Sorry, that's just how it goes.
We also talk about the first games of the Conference Finals and look at the Pacers/Knicks and Thunder/Wolves matchups for the games ahead.
