On this episode, we crossover harder than AI on Tyronn Lue in the 2001 NBA Finals. Wait, what? Wasn't this a football/soccer podcast? Why are they talking about the NBA?
Many of the paradigm shifts we discuss over and over again on this podcast were also evident in the NBA during the decade, whether that be the internationalization of the league or a passing of the torch between generational talents. Plus we all grew up watching both, so we decided to try a new concept: the NBA Crossover!
To kick things off, we look at the 2004 NBA All-Stars and pair each one up with their footballing alter-ego from the same year (6:18). Who was Allen Iverson? Was there anybody as insane as Kevin Garnett in the footballing world? And who are our two coaches (clue: they are probably still around)?
There is talk of Bow Wow, baggy suits, David Stern, "Soft Europeans" and much more on this episode of Football In The 2000s!
