Part 1: An NBA Popularity Check and Tyson’s Big Comeback With Wosny Lambre and Van Lathan

I think Wemby's broken through, honestly, in terms of culture. Like, even when Britney Spears got beat up by his bodyguards at Summer League for trying to talk to him that one time. God damn, what? I'm just saying, you don't remember Britney Spears wanted his picture. I know, but you throwing so much gas on that. Britney Spears got beat up. That's how she represented it on the internet.

Yeah, and I remember David Stern's dress code thing that everybody said was like mega racist and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? And... You know, it was just the idea that like a lot of these guys from the streets or whatever we're called, inner city, whatever euphemism we want to use, we're less polished, less media trained, right? Our league is now way more suburban. These kids come from

Way more affluent backgrounds. They're way more media-trained, focus group, consultant freaking to death. And as Van says, it's not as fun. It's just not. Like, I love Devin Booker. I love watching him hoop. He's famous enough to date Kendall freaking Jenner. Nobody knows anything about him. Nothing. Nobody knows a... You can't... A lot of people don't even know what this guy's voice sounds like.

Like, could you imagine Donovan Mitchell? He's another one of these guys who's like perfect. Like, great suburban upbringing, says the right thing, beautifully eloquent when he speaks. Like, he's so polished. Could you imagine him ever saying anything as interesting as KD does on a freaking daily basis? No. And I don't think that's a good thing.
