The NBA season is almost upon us and this week kicked off with Media Day. This episode was recorded prior to the media day festivities but The Outsiders are clairvoyant and happened to hit most of the hot topics from Mavs media day.
First up was the idea of Frank Ntilikina as the 3rd ball handler. The Mavs doubled and later tripled down on believing in Frank as the primary PG off the bench and Reese and Bibs had some thoughts. (Note: Bibs later saw pictures of Frank from media day and takes back everything he said about Frank not knowing how to use his arms, per his tweet about this topic).
We then moved to Christian Wood. The media day's hot topic was the idea of Christian Wood coming off the bench and his potential feelings about it. Kidd did confirm that this is the plan and Wood joked during media day about not knowing this was the case, but it was just that a joke. Reese and Bibs discussed this topic prior to media day and their feelings did not change after the day's events.
Finally, with regard to Mavs-specific topics, the Outsiders discussed what the Mavs rotations should be. The team is deep but what does that mean for everyone's minutes and roles?
Sticking with basketball, the Outsiders talked about ESPN's top 5 players, the reaction to the list, and whether or not we agree with the rankings. Luka came in 3rd on the list behind Giannis Antentokounmpo and Nikola Jokic with Joel Embiid and Steph Curry rounding out the list. The pair had some strong opinions about how one fanbase reacted to this list.
The podcast couldn't end there, however. Reese and Bibs spent the rest of the podcast talking about the movies Barbarian and The Woman King.
