The Unraveling Journey of a Once-Hyped NBA Prospect

We kick off another Zach Lowe Show with the story taking the NBA by storm, the Kawhi Leonard–Clippers scandal (2:03). There's new reporting out today, as well as reactions from the board of governors meeting this week. Next, Zach goes through some news items, including his take on a new rule about end-of-the-quarter heaves (36:28). Spoiler alert: Some booing was done. Then, Bill Simmons comes on for a fun exercise (44:06): picking the 2028 USA men’s basketball team! Who’s in, who’s out, and who did Bill shock Zach with on his roster? Finally, with the Mets' playoff hopes hanging in the balance, a somber Mets Corner with Big Wos (1:12:23) turns into a therapy session.
