The NBA Draft is tonight and, as always, our expectations are sky high. We know Zion Williamson will be called first. What our expectations for him? What does he have to do to live up to the tremendous amount of hype? What are our expectations of all of these players? 60 names will be called tonight but how many of them will we remember? So many players have been labeled the “next superstar” and so many drafts have been labeled a “superstar draft”. Would we think differently of players like Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker if they weren’t labeled as the changing of the guard in the NBA? There’s been a lot of draft movement so far and theirs likely to be a lot more. What does New Orleans do at number 4? By the way, our expectations for New Orleans are a bit out of control. At least some peoples are. If they’re accending in the West, who’s falling out? How difficult will the West be next year? Popeyes on Canal St in New Orleans is selling a very special meal today in honor of Zion. There’s tons of rumors heading into free agency? Is Brooklyn out on Kyrie if he can’t bring KD? Will both New York area teams miss out? Whats the least exciting thing Kawhi could do? Diana Taurasi is in Space Jam and I’m all about it! David Ortiz was attacked by guys who were bad at being criminals. Happy Birthday Lionel Richie. We put Commodores Lionel vs solo Lionel to a vote and the results were shocking.
