Hooper vs CTE Pt 2

·55 min·5 clips
Why does Steph Curry's 4,000th three-pointer feel like 'COVID' to the host?
The episode begins with the host expressing annoyance at the media frenzy around Steph Curry reaching 4,000 three-pointers, comparing it to COVID-era forced interest. He transitions to NBA talk, assessing the Western Conference playoff picture, noting the Warriors' recent strong play and the Phoenix Suns' defensive issues. The conversation shifts to a recurring theme: 'Hoopers vs. CTE,' where the host argues that 'Hoopers'—basketball players with a certain reckless, individualistic mindset—are more mentally damaging than football players with CTE because it's their inherent nature. Examples given include Kyrie Irving, LaMelo Ball, and Malik Monk. The host then discusses music briefly, touching on YN R&B and Tory Lanez's new album. He returns to sports, criticizing the LA Sparks for holding tryouts for male practice players and questioning the need. NFL talk covers Josh Allen's $330 million contract, with the host mocking Allen's pay-cut comments and comparing him unfavorably to Tom Brady. The episode ends with baseball betting predictions, focusing on Aaron Judge's home run potential and other players like Shohei Ohtani, before briefly mentioning college basketball and gambling on the NCAA tournament.

A sharp Curry milestone debate turns into a loose, lively argument over stats, taste and who really counts as a "Hooper".

Politically Incorrect starts with Steph Curry's 4,003rd three, then quickly moves past the milestone glow to question why a round number gets treated as the story when each make has been stretching the same record since 2,974.
