BONUS #283: Break ’Em Off With a Preview of the Remix (feat. @judgebeats)
This is the NBA Finals. It's the oath the swordsman swears to his sword. It's Jaylen Brown rowing in an eternal circle because he has no left hand.

Harden as Bartleby, The Scrivener
Hey judge I'm watching the jerry west documentary on prime and I'm pretty green to basketball. When they interviewed "balls" and the subtitled referred to him as the "governor of LA Clippers". What the fuck does that mean?
Every team appoints a "governor" to the NBA Board of Governors, the 30 people who actually get to vote on shit like rule changes or expanding the league. A lot of owners appoint some professional housepet to go vote on their behalf, but the psychos like Steve go in person

Tonight I had 3 bing bong heart attacks! Can’t wait to listen tomorrow
please do this as often as possible
Hate to sound like shaq but for the love of that is tall and knows ball: Wemby gotta go bully mode. Absolutely love these episodes. Sooo happy to hear ball criticism of Harden. Also, I believe Wendy’s beef with white boi summer is on the international level. They have been going head to head for like almost a decade.
Outro song please?

Seeking derangements
Speaking as a knicks fan to the heat fans, fuck you forever knicks in 6. But actually this was fantastic (even if I think the knicks defense is not getting enough credit for how good it is). Very much agree that the knicks are fucked if the spurs can force them into Brunsonball early, though the knicks have been very very good at avoiding that so far. And very strong support for the LeBron James segment. Would love to seem him go out getting to play real competitive ball.
Currently thinking about the Venn diagram of Club 520 listeners and Seeking Derangements listeners and deciding the small handful of people found there must also be listeners of Death/Corner Also would be onboard with Judge brothers basketball podcast titled "Men of Genius"

Saw a maddening headline which said that the Cavs almost traded for Jrue Holiday instead of harden, but decided he wasn’t enough of an offensive engine. Just shameful idiocy all around.
Jrue might be too old & hurt to get the Cavs a ring in one move ... but if they really had that deal and went for Harden, *knowing* it's at least 3 years of Harden, that's fucking incredible. Jrue's not quite a real point guard either, kind of like a small playmaking SF, but him and Spida together might be enough passing, organization, etc., and obviously he's a monster defender. He's also been THAT GUY in 2 separate franchises who almost made it, realized they were 1 piece short, traded for Jrue, and won a ring. If anybody knows the difference between "Conference Finals, but we got fucking humiliated" and "won the Finals," it's Jrue. (I worry about him, tho, because when Boston cleared him out to Portland, they ended up having to attach something – I think it was a trade exception, and maybe they paid a fine too? – when Jrue's medicals came back with some unknown black mark that Boston never disclosed. He looked great when he played this year, but Boston are some vile motherfuckers for lying about injuries, to other teams AND to the players. They just broke Isaiah Thomas, and they destroyed Rob Williams's future by telling him he was fine to play in a Finals where Steph Curry fucking dog-walked them anyway.)
I don’t really follow basketball but my friend group does very closely so i have some knowledge and holy shit i did not know KAT talked like that
The thing is, KAT doesn't have a real voice. He makes up a personality for every interview. Take a little stroll around the search terms "Karl Anthony Towns shout out to all my Dominicans"
