Sometimes destiny is on your side. While at Summer League, the guys ran into Mark Cuban at dinner and thirty minutes later they were in the studio recording. Mark joins the pod to discuss shaking up the healthcare system with Cost Plus Drugs, how the company started and how they are changing the game. He also talks about Shark Tank, best & worst deals he has made, and how the show works behind the scenes.
Of course the guys have to talk a little basketball as well, like why Mark bought the Mavs, how much he will spend on the away team’s locker room, and the most impressive players he has seen since being an owner.

Grant Williams | “Everything Easter”

During last year’s Summer League, a classic episode of The Long Shot was recorded with Udonis Haslem. So it’s only right that he joins the guys again for the reunion.
He talks about his off-season meeting with Heat staff, his future in Miami and what he still has to offer, his diet, and getting “brainwashed” by Heat culture.
The guys also talk gambling, Mario Kart, and how UD’s “antenna” still goes up in certain situations.
