  13. Coach Mosley is going to have a luxury problem when Banchero comes back. I also think Franz does run the offense more fluid than Banchero but he's got one more year experience. Also shout out to Mo Wagner for being extremely productive for the Magic

  14. Don't want to tell you how to run your business, but behind the scenes content is a must have. You have two great host, who are smart, funny, charismatic, most importantly they are real people. When Legs is in town, make them do stuff together…it will grow the channel exponentially…

  22. The fact that ALL CITY was able to put two guys that never had prior experience with each other together and they have this much chemistry is amazing, ESPN has 100 shows and 100x the resources but can’t put anything close to this (I know Legs works for ESPN calling games).

  28. You could tell Franz was going to be real good in his rookie year. Im a Magic fan from UK who stays up ridiculously late watching them and in his rookie year we were bad. Before Paulo and Franz sometimes showed flashes of his potential. Great player. My guy Franz.

  30. This game vs Lakers continues to show why Pelinka still being employed has to be blackmail bc Lakers roster 3-15 since 2021-22 has been the worst outside of any non rebuilding team BY FAR!

    He literally did the following while having arguably the best duo in the NBA LeBron AD or else lakers have legit top1-5 title contenders since 21-22:

    Gave away Zubac in 18-19

    Low balled DeRozan yrs wise before Westbrook disaster trade

    Lowballed Caruso letting him walk

    Wouldn’t trade Reaves and 27/29 1sts for KYRIE at Feb 2023 deadline and that was after not trading 27/29 1s + Westbrook contract for Turner Hield before 22-23 season started

    Overpaid Max Christie & Gabe Vincent instead of bringing back Schroder

    Passed on Jaquez Jr at 17 and TJD or GG Jackson at 40 in 2023 draft

    Let Scottie Pippen Jr and Jay Huff walk when they were murdering G-league bc Darvin Ham (who he moronically hired after scapegoating Vogel who he hired over Ty Lue in 2019 bc he Lowballed Ty Lue yrs wise as well) would never play them.

    Dr Buss has to be rolling over in his grave that Jeanie didn’t fire him YEARS ago as right now they should have Bob Myers or Tim Connelly as their GM the last 2-3 yrs. As a LeBron fan this is also on him as he knew Lakers post Dr Buss dying in 2013 were not run well AT ALL (they had the worst record in NBA 2013-14 to 17-18 before he chose to go there…he could of been with my other favorite non pacers player since Hakeem and MJ in 90s and Bird in 80s NIKOLA JOKIC as he actually met with Denver in summer of 2018🤦🏻‍♂️).

    “My guy Franz Wagner”😂

    He was 8th pick in the 2021 draft AVERAGING 15, 5, 3, 1.3 stocks on 47/35/86 as a 20 yr old 6’10, 220 lb rookie and 19, 4, 4 on 49/36/84 at 21 yrs old.

    So glad Legs clowned him on this as soon as I was writing this 😆! This is part of the reason why this is my favorite NBA podcast (by the way that tweet Adam pulled up was from September 2022 AFTER Franz rookie year when he was 5th in ROY & was 4th in WS/48 in his rookie class only behind Barnes, Mobley & Herb Jones😅…The producer needed to use Google to show this was MONTHS after his rookie year ended….nevermind Legs called him out on that as well 🤣🤣🤣You guys are the best!🫡…great chemistry, know ball, clowners! ✅✅✅)

    The Dalton Knecht part had me 🤣. “My store’s gettin looted” 😆
