Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Thing’s First” on FS1.

They begin with tanking in the NBA and Colin argues that he’s pro-tanking because it’s the only way to turn your franchise around since it’s so difficult to trade star players in the NBA (2:30). They agree that NBA players have gotten so good at shooting 3’s, it’s led to a less visually appealing product for the fans that makes the regular season tough to watch (10:45) and they debate potential fixes (23:30).

Then, joined by Art Manteris, a veteran bookmaker, to discuss sports gambling. They dive into some of the wildest sports gambling stories ever told — from massive celebrity bets to shocking moments involving Mike Tyson and others (30:00).

We’re back with Season 4, Episode 32 of Club 520, where Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, and B Hen discuss Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James as he is in his last years of his NBA career, and talk about what a farewell tour will look like for him. The guys then debate whether Indiana Fever and WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark is the most famous basketball player under the age of 35, which would exclude LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, James Harden, among others. Later, the guys debate whether the Orlando Magic need to split up Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner as they have not translated to winning basketball, and much more!
