They also have an honest discussion about what it’s like to go from the “underdog” to someone who signed a big contract, how you keep an edge on your shoulder, and what TJ leans on outside of basketball to stay grounded. Finally, the guys talk about the “Process” Sixers, who TJ wishes to share a glass of wine with in the NBA, and the time he got mistaken as a coach.

This week the podcast moves from the hardwood to the gridiron as the guys sit down with one of the best recent underdog stories in the NFL. Taylor Heinicke was out of professional football a year ago and finishing his master’s degree at Old Dominion when he got a call from The Washington Football Team to be their “emergency COVID practice player.” After some injuries and roster changes, Taylor found himself starting in the NFC Wildcard game just a few months later. Now he is the starting quarterback in Washington and just inked a new contract that will keep him there for the next two seasons.
The guys discuss his story, finding a rhythm as a consistent starter, the pressure & responsibility that comes with being a quarterback, and how you find comfort and confidence in that role. They also talk about his career at Old Dominion, how a smaller school benefitted him as an athlete, and why so many undrafted guys seem to find success in the NFL.
Then the conversation shifts into the psyche of playing football, the amount of film that Taylor watches, how you “unlock” your mind during games, and dealing with adversity with so much time in-between games.
To wrap up the convo, the guys talk NFL dress code, meditation, float tanks, and favorite music.
Before all of that, Duncan and Davis talk about the red-hot Miami Heat, Duncan reflects on getting some shade thrown at him from his teammates, Davis tests Duncan’s IQ, they discuss what it’s like for NBA players at the airport, and more!

When he was in high school, Pat Connaughton was offered a couple million dollars from the New York Yankees to forgo college and join their minor league system. He turned it down. Instead, he chose to continue pursuing his dream of playing basketball, went on to play both baseball and basketball at The University of Notre Dame, and now is an NBA Champion. Duncan and Pat grew up together, played for the same AAU program in New England, and are close friends to this day, so Duncan got to witness that entire journey first-hand.
In this fantastic sit-down, the guys talk about what a new season is like coming off of a championship, Milwaukee battling adversity in the playoffs, the ‘revenge series’ against the Heat, and how the media narrative changes for Giannis after becoming a champion.

He was a 2x All-American and a dominant force for the Cyclones who proved time and time again that he was a big-time player. Yet, when the NBA draft arrived, he lasted until #50 and many doubted he could contribute at the next level. While getting drafted in the NBA is an incredible accomplishment in itself, Georges quickly realized he had to make changes to his game to become a mainstay in the league. And did he ever. In this honest and humble interview, he sits down with Duncan and Davis and details the journey he took from a decorated college player, to the G-League, to the NBA bench, and now ultimately a key role on the court with the Jazz. Plus, he keeps it real on what he thought of Duncan's NBA chances when they were growing up in the same area. Did we say he was honest? Maybe we should change that to brutally honest.
