About the episode
Verno and Jacoby run through every team’s media day story line, so it’s next question, next question. LeBron didn’t leave his family to lose in the second round, Jay-Z hexed the Spurs, Giannis meets an iguana, and the young Nets want to golf shirtless. Plus, the Kings’ hot mic, and Verno proves he’s the opposite of a hypocrite.
