I used to hate listening to perk, but he’s gotten much better as an analyst. Happy both fo em succeeding rn

[@dellis4320]

Bruh. I hated listening to him lol. He has come a long way

[@Timberz7]

Totally agree.

[@CTM901]

Two black talented guys from the south. I can dig that 💯

[@pkeys11]

I love the fact that y’all are advocating for Black fathers!!

[@yutoob6181]

LeBron referred D Rose to a trainer to get his body together and that revived his career. Bron is the best player to get body and health advice from in the NBA.

[@corpyhogan4433]

That’s one thing people can’t really knock LeBron for. Wish he would give more young guys coming up in the league advice on how to maintain your body

[@dareiousmiller8179]

For Zion honestly, I would suggest Charles Barkley for tough love but also Charles went through the same thing

[@HightopRichiee]

@@dareiousmiller8179 charles wouldnt be a good mentor because he never took care of his body either

[@nikolaipersad4098]

💯 agreed!

[@breal6592]

@@corpyhogan4433 how he gone give more young guys advice ? They supposed to come to LeBron, LeBron not gone come to them

[@timtaylor5473]

SPEAK PERK , I'm a Blue devil to the bone gristle and I hate hearing people talk against THE BROTHERHOOD but... you are spot on with Z, and that's the best advice ever for Zion to reach out to Bron because he don't have the leadership he needs in NORLEANS. PERIOD!!!!

[@bigdaddyl-rob7445]

Most people issue with their eating habits isn’t always what they eat. It’s how much they eat. Portion size of their plates.

[@seoulful7631]

Came here for Swagu (because NFL!) and didn't know I'd like Kendrick Perkins (thus far) so much! I mean, the respect they have for each other is too real. Looking forward to this podcast 😎 PS - THANK YOU for not speaking over each other -- so refreshing!

[@RainForestLeDoux]

You guys together are really good. Love. Respect. Not alot of arguing like other shows. I like it. Good perspectives too. Thanks.

[@heyitsbroski]

Swagu gotta increase the gain on his mic so the people in the back can hear you.

[@JKLauderdale]

Congrats on the new show! As to Zion, he CAME INTO the league with weight issues. He can be a dominant player when healthy but lacks the discipline to do so. I said the same thing about Embiid for several years, look what Doc Rivers created in Philly. Embiid's a MONSTER now, showing just how important a culture-focused coach can be to that one key player for your franchise. Diet and conditioning could make a 10,000% difference in Zion's game but Zion has been allowed to get by with pure talent and mass. He's never been held accountable so he's formed multiple unhealthy habits and I think we ALL know that habits are HARD to break... doubly so when you have $$$. Two words for ya, EDDY CURRY - Talent will get you INTO the NBA but conditioning, training and the ability (and WILLINGNESS) to learn new handles/shots will be what KEEPS you in the NBA. If Zion can't adapt then he lacks the discipline and will flame out alongside the aforementioned Curry, Bobby Traylor and Michael Sweetney.

[@dontevntrip8627]

Love the call, it "was" the notion black fathers were not involved, but we were that generation, and we all know how important a Father is to have, and will never do the same. We learned from our parents mistakes and know we will do better. Take care of yourself and your families out there my men, and dominate this next year.
