53 min
•Mar 23, 20262 months agoSummary
Club Shay Shay's Nightcap Hour covers NCAA tournament Sweet 16 matchups (Arizona vs Arkansas, Purdue vs Texas) and critiques Bleacher Report's controversial 'Top 15 Purest Scorers' NBA list, arguing key players like Kobe Bryant, James Harden, and Allen Iverson were wrongly omitted or ranked too low.
Insights
- Controversial sports ranking lists are deliberately created to generate engagement and social media impressions rather than reflect accurate analysis
- James Harden's scoring consistency (30k+ points, multiple 34-36 PPG seasons) warrants top-5 consideration in any pure scorers ranking
- NCAA tournament performance is heavily influenced by team discipline, shooting efficiency, and defensive execution rather than individual star power alone
- Content creators may prioritize viral engagement metrics over editorial credibility when designing ranking lists
Trends
Sports media increasingly uses provocative rankings to drive social engagement and monetize impressionsNostalgia-driven sports discourse comparing modern players to historical greats (Jordan, Kobe, Harden)NCAA tournament analysis focusing on team composition (guard play, rebounding, transition offense) over individual statisticsCriticism of analytics-driven sports rankings that exclude traditional scoring legendsSocial media monetization influencing editorial decisions in sports content creation

Arizona's stellar guard play once again on full display. Jaden Bradley, Braden Burries, led the Wildcats in scoring with 18 and 16 points respectively. Once again, Arizona's size and relentlessness. I rebounded them, Utah State, by 27, 53 to 26 on its way to a Sweet 16 for the third straight season. Arizona Sweet 16 opponent, Ocho, the Rays are back in Arkansas. Oh, hey, hey, hey, Joe, what you going to do with them trees down there in Arizona? Hey, we sitting back resting up. Hey, we getting ready. I already told you, we finna make this run, man. This ain't nothing personal about Arizona. They just in the way right now. You hear me? Yeah, they just in the way. We strictly about business, homeboy. We strictly about. But you ain't asking me, though. What you gonna do about them trees that's gonna be in the paint at Arizona? Man, you seen that guy we got on our team named A-Cuff. Did I tell you it's cuffing season, man? Yes, sir. They y'all said that, man. He ain't letting us lose, Ocho. I'm sorry. And we got some bigs for they bigs. Yeah, we long athletic. Okay. You know what I mean? We grimy. We in your face. We going to defeat you. Yeah. Yeah, we tough. Yeah. Okay. We relentless on defense. Offensively, we'll explode. We might score 100 points. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We might. We might score 100 points. What you playing? NBA 2K? All right. Okay. All right. Remember when we get back on him? I mean, listen, I ain't wish you no bad Juju. I support your team, but I'm just saying scoring 100 and, I mean, not having an answer for the bigs down there in Arizona. I mean, just saying Acuff is going to get it done. It's taking more than him. He's going to need some help. I think you be hating on the low. Even when you watch us play, I think you be kind of hating. I mean, Joe, I just said I support your team. I know what you're telling me right now, but I think when you be sitting at home watching the game, you be rooting against him. He be rooting for the other team, Joe? No, no, Joe. You know that man be rooting against him? You already know what's going on. Then he come over here and act like he down. Boy, I know what's going on. I'm with you, Joe. I already know what's going on. Man, you already know how Ocho is. Ocho go to somebody's house and find out who they for, all of a sudden he like, yeah, come on, now he for the other team automatically. I ain't like that. I ain't like that. You know, Joe, I wish y'all boys well, though, Joe. I want to see them boys go far as possible. Yeah. Listen, the better A-cup play in the tournament, the better his chances of, well, he probably going to be a lottery pick. He might sneak up there and go number two. Oh, he for sure going to be lottery. I think he's one player who can continue to increase his draft stock. His draft stock, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In Arizona, man, they got some dogs. They got size. Yeah, they do. They do. They do. They had good guard play today. Yeah. Yeah. We got something for that though. Y'all better keep it. Y'all gotta keep them off the glass. Yeah, they got to keep us off the glass. They got to keep us out of transition. We probably, we top two, three fast breaking team in the NCAA, what y'all talking about? Hey man, they got to worry about us. Okay. Okay. Hey Joe, I like the energy Joe. That's good energy, boy. That's good energy. Yeah. Purdue, the number two Boilermakers, took down the Hurricane 79-69, leave it to the seniors to bring home for Purdue. Man, they cheated. Had a game-high 24 points. Trey Carverhead had 19 as the number two seed Boilermakers. Back to the Sweet 16 for the third straight season. Purdue's Sweet 16 opponent, the Longhorns. Hey, he done had them nine assists. I remember we betted that the Boats were going to have them nine assists. He had eight. I mean, he was supposed to get ten. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they were too much for the U, man. Yeah. They were too much. The U fought, man. They fought hard. They had a great season. Purdue, see teams like that, they just too disciplined. Okay, Ocho, you know what I'm saying? They ain't never going to do nothing that's going to beat themselves, bro. Right. 57 from the field, 53 from the field, 57 from the three. You ain't beating nobody on those teams. 95% from the free throw line. Hey, listen. You ain't winning that game, brother. You let somebody shoot them percentages on you. It's a wrap. Nope. I mean, they would have shot better than that if Braden Smith hadn't shot three for 12 because you got Kaufman Wren. He's 8 of 16. Clough was 3 of 4. Do you got 4 of 5, 6 of 7? I mean, you got one guy was 0 of 2, Omar Mayer. but if Braden Smith don't shoot 3 or 12, hell, they might shoot 60, 65% from the Yeah, I know And he was 0 or 4 from the 3 so he killed him It's just a bad time to have a bad defensive game in the NCAA tournament because you can't get this back, bro It's a wrap. You let a team shoot like this You let them be comfortable. You let them run they sets and get what they want Get to they spots You can't beat no team like that, bro. Bam. The game that we flexed out of, the Alabama Crimson Tide beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders by the score of 90 to 65. Alabama's on the Sweet 16 for the fourth consecutive time. Alabama went 19 of 42 from deep, the third most makes in any tournament game since 1987 when the three-point line was introduced. Latrell Wright's sale led the team with 24 points while three other players scored a double figure. LeBaron Fillion Jr. had nine points. and we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer... Football. ...is a story we've shared for over 30 years, since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer is the most important. Listen to The Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Daniel Jeremiah. And I'm Greg Rosenthal. And this is 40s and Free Agents. The games may be over, but the NFL never stops. This is my favorite part of the calendar. Yeah, mine too, Greg. Free agency, the combine, the NFL draft, pro days, trades. This is where teams reshape their future. This is where Daniel Jeremiah makes his money. On 40s and free agents, we break down every move that actually matters. From my draft evaluations, mock drafts, and team fits. To my top 101 free agents and how real rosters are built, cap space, contracts, and all the tough decisions included. You got quarterbacks on the move. We got teams rebuilding. It's hope season. Absolutely, it's hope season. And we'll tell you what's real, what's noise, and what it means for your favorite team. Smart analysis, real conversations every week. I don't know about the smart, but definitely analysis. Listen to 40s and Free Agents on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up? I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game, has never been done before. Two active players giving a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave and then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this the night before games, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. They'll be like, mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball?

Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos season two, baby. This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? Is to value time, to be cognizant of time and how important time is. because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. the second most assists by Alabama player in a tournament since 1984. Alabama's sweet 16 opponent, the number one seed, Michigan Wolverine. Oh, they're going to be 80. Well, Michigan got some trees down there too, boy. They do. Golly. It's finna start getting thick now. It's finna start getting thick now. We finna get some real, real good games now. Alabama been tough. Texas Tech, Uncle Ocho, they lost they center, who was a leading scorer and leading rebounder. He tore his ACL kind of late in the season. So it was going to be hard for them to, you know, stay afloat and continue to keep advancing. They do got a great guard in little Christian Anderson. He can play. He didn't have such a great game tonight, but for the most part, he's been holding it down throughout the season. But they just ran into a gritty Alabama team, bro, who is out of player. I don't think he they leading scorer, but I think he's one. I think he averaged 20 a game. It's a little guard. You know, he got into a little trouble. Oh, yeah, yeah. The one that got arrested, had that scunion on him. Had like two and a half pounds of scunion on him. Had that scum. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scunion. Ooh, wee. Yeah, he didn't have a discrepancy. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah, so they got him out of that. He couldn't play. He probably done. Yeah. Damn. He might be playing with a team with strikes on. Boy. I don't know what the Bleacher Report. Bleacher Report, top 15 purest scores in NBA history. Steph Curry was one Kevin Durant was two Michael Jordan was three Joel Embiid is four LeBron, Shea, Girvin Doncic, Jokic Kobe, Giannis Kyrie, O'Neal Mitchell Mellowen This might be the worst list somebody's ever ever put together I'm going to say hey Joe I didn't play in the NBA Joe I'm not a huge NBA watcher. Of course, I know the game. I understand the game a little bit. The list is garbage because he done routed off about seven, six, seven, eight names and Kobe's name wasn't mentioned in that goddamn top five. Just take that list, ball it up, and throw it away. Steph Curry, rightfully so. He's number one. Who going to argue that? You can't argue that. Outside of that, Kobe got to be somewhere. Got to be in the top five, Joe. I know I'm not tripping. No, no, no. You ain't tripping OJ. I don't know who be doing these analytics or whatever it is they do, who be making these predictions. But you can't have Melo. If you ain't got Melo in there, that man wasn't nothing but a pure score. You know what I'm saying? Yes, sir. He probably, he top, he got to lead top 10. I think he top 10 in the NBA history in scoring. So, man, come on, bro. What are they coming up? What are they coming up? What are they coming up with this? Where you get this from? You know what I think they do I know I think they do Joe especially on Twitter When they create these I think they create them for engagement To get people talking to get people going Because I think you get paid for your impressions Or something like that I think if I'm not mistaken You know is that what it is I don't know yeah I think so I think so because sometimes people you know You know you get your check from Twitter Oh okay For your engagement and your impressions or something like that I'm not sure how it works I think I need to sign up for that I got a show to make me look. I thought you would have had it as much as you be with her. Nah, nah, I got to sign up for it. I don't like filling all that stuff out, Joe. It's too much work. Yeah, too much work, too much work. I mean, you know, it could be nice little pocket change, you know, little gas money, little McDonald's money. So you on all social platforms Oh yeah Instagrams I got Twitter and I got How you gotta listen, you ain't got James Harden on it. Yeah. Oh, I wanna say that. You ain't, did you say D-Wade, Joe? You said D-Wade? Nah, look, it's doing what it was supposed to do, which is get us, get people talking about it. You ain't got Jordan, you ain't got James Harden. James Harden averaged 36, averaged 34. James Harden's about to hit 30,000 points. Pure scores? Yeah. James Harden's got to be there. There was a time, there was like a five-year period. People were actually questioning, is James Harden a better scorer than Michael Jordan? Is James Harden a better scorer than Kobe? and you ain't even got the man on the list? Yeah. Come on now. Hey, Unc, you heard what I told Joe Unc? I get it. I get it. I get it. But for James Harden not to be up there, man, stop. You heard what I told Unc, Joe? I mean, what I told Joe Unc? I say they create these lists like this. And there's another one. We're probably not going to talk about it. There's a football list. I'm not sure if you saw it today that talked about the best safeties they ever played this game. Did you see that one? What do they got up there? They got Ed Reed first. They got Ronnie Lott second. Okay. Troy third? Troy was number eight. Huh? Troy was number eight. Hey, Troy was number eight. They got Steve Atwater, and they got your boy Steve in there. Okay. I'm talking about real high. But I've looked at the list. I'm like, come on now. Brian Dawkins was up there too. I'm like, come on. What are we doing? And I think they create these lists for engagement because they get paid for the impressions on how many people. It's working because that's a bull job. Oh, yeah, it's working big time. Hold on. You ain't got Jerry West. You ain't got Elgin Baylor. You ain't got Wilt Chamberlain. So you ain't got – I'm just trying to figure out. So what was the criteria that you used to determine scores? They just wanted to put it out, man. They want us to talk about it. Ain't no way in hell. Because ain't no way in hell. You got a list with scores and James Harden ain't a top five score. Right. Absolutely right. Come on, man. Come on, man. You average in the mid-30s, you got to be way up there. Because ain't a whole lot of, look, especially in the modern basketball, like, you know, way back then when they had like 8, 12 teams, that's one thing. But once you got, anytime you average at least 35 since the merger, and I think the merger is 76, 77. Come on now. Yeah. Yeah. It's ridiculous. Oh, Lord have mercy. Oh my goodness. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying, hey, I'm saying Melo top 10 score in NBA. Yeah, Melo wasn't knocked by the bucket. Is it? Tracy McGrady was a score. Oh, they ain't have him on there? Hell no. They had 62 points in the game. Oh, Lord have mercy. Joe, what's the most you scored in the game, Joe? I think like 44, Ocho. I wasn't putting up no 50, 60. I was just consistent. You know, I had a year-wide average about 25, 26. I was just consistent. You know what I mean? I was gonna give you what I was gonna give you. Yes, sir. Hey, I hope you find that consistency when you see me. You say you what, man? I hope you had that consistency when I see you. Man, why that man always want me to act out of character? I'm trying to be cool with the man. You know what I'm saying? Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. I don't want to be cool with him. I want to play ball, Joe. Okay, we got the fade pinning. You know what I'm saying? Oh, it's not pinning. It went through. It went through. It went through? Oh, it's going down, Joe. Hey, all you talking about is pinning. Oh, no. Hey, that transaction, it's going through. As far as scoring, we ain't going to put Allen Iverson on. Oh, man. That's a good one. That's a good one. Man, come on. I'm getting mad. It's like my grandma used to say, the more I talk, the better I got. That man, everything. Because it's a bulljive. Mellow. No mellow. No hard. No A. That man got a career average about 28. Yeah, come on, man. Hey, doesn't it get difficult, too, when you talk about some of the better scorers of all time when there's so many of them? How do you know who to put in your top 10? Luka averaging 28 points a game. Right now, Luka would have the third high-scoring average in NBA history behind Jordan and Will. And you got him down at eight. The mere fact that you don't got Harden, you don't have Iverson, you don't even have them on the list, along with Trayvon McGrady. Yeah. Cause Iverson was, hey, boy listen, them early 2000s, them late 90s, yeah, he ain't running the league. What is it? Man, come on now. let me see the purest scores Jordan, Colby, Harden, Iverson, they just buckets. What about D-Wade? No? Yeah, D-Wade was a bucket. Hold up. He averaged. He led the league in scoring one year. He led the league in scoring one year. But you look at KD, Jordan, Harden. you're talking about guys in the consistent high 20s, 30s. You knew what they were doing. I mean, Jordan came in as a rookie dropping 28. You ain't going to see that ish no more. You don't think so? Not no rookie coming to drop 28 a game. Jordan have his 28 as a rookie. Hey, Joe, they got to have that green light to be able to shoot at wheel, huh? I think at some point, I don't know if it's going to be this year, but I think at some point we're going to get somebody who gonna come along as a rookie. And I'm talking about he gonna be out there handing them out. You hear me? He gonna be handing them out. Think about it. Kevin Durant average a little bit 20. Jordan, LeBron average 20. Melo average 20. I think 21. Yeah, come on. This man average 28 a game. As a rookie. Hey. I think he lost the scoring title one year. He might have lost the scoring title. He might have lost it to Bird Dog. Bernard King, I think. at 30-something points. Your mindset got to be different, bro. Yeah, man. Man, everybody know Jordan was a walking bucket. The man averaged 37, averaged 35, 32, 33. The man won seven straight scoring titles. Sit it down for a year and a half and come back and get three more. Mm. Ridiculous. oh my boy you see Mike won again you seen that he did yeah he won another race out of the last six he's his fourth one one four yeah all the other team on the same since everybody got a charter now he said man y'all should have sued him earlier he's going to take somebody with deep pockets that wasn't afraid man you're not going to push look I don't really know how Mike operate but he ain't gonna let y'all walk. You not been to walk over. Man, to be able to contest NASCAR though, okay, Ocho, that's big time. Not only that, after you won, you been kicking they butt? Oh yeah. Man. Yeah, we ain't gonna never get MJ back in basketball the way he got them cars running around that track. Oh yeah. And he really don't show up to NC either. He don't. The last thing I've seen might go more to NC or Carolina games than he go to the NBA games. The last thing I saw Mike show up for the 75th anniversary. Yeah. You seen him at the end, Joe? No. I think he do be having stuff, but I think it'd be so private, invite only. He ain't, he ain't. Like he ain't, he ain't. Yes, yes. Cause he normally put on, he normally put on something at the old start game. I've been told. Man, we used to do, and he used to do that every year. That was the best part at Ocho. Everybody was trying to get him out. Yeah, man, I think he laid. You went to that one we had in LA back in 20, what year was that, 2019, 2018, 2019? 20. He was in Bel Air. You had to park, you catch a bus. I don't know. And then show up in there. I don't know if I was at him, nah. I don't think I was. You went on. That thing was like that. That thing was like that. Yeah, Joe, that thing was nice, Joe. And he was in the back. He up in the cut. He ain't visible. Here's his thing, but he way back off. You got to go up and around and down to find it. But, nah, man, there was a guy, and I don't know if you guys remember, there was a guy named Andrew Tony. Yeah, I do. Played with the Philadelphia 76ers. They called him the Boston Strangler. A straight bucket. Get to it. That's what they called him because he gave the Celtics hell. So that's what they dubbed him the Boston Strangler. World beat free. He changed his name to World. His name was Lloyd. He changed his name to World because he could do it anywhere. He said, I can make it anywhere in the world. Man, I just think I said, man. Man, ain't nobody. Hey, I don't think anybody that, because I saw a little bit of this and I looked, and so, you know, I go to the comments. I don't think there was like one positive comment. I don't think there was like one comment that said, man, y'all got, boy, y'all hit this without a part. They did it on personal engagement because if they did it the right way, it wouldn't be nothing to talk about. but look, I understand. I think the thing sometimes, don't you, you kind of want to get engagements and more outlandish or ridiculous. Something else, the more that you get, yes. Damn. You can't make it so egregious. Just, just for the sake of argument, just put, if you put, make sure you got Colby higher and you got James hard, you got Iverson, you got a couple of guys on there. Now you might want to play with the rankings. Yeah. But at least you got to put them on. Oh, Lord have mercy. Whoever doing it probably ain't never even played the sport, bro. Well, I mean, look at that. They just threw some names out there. Lord have mercy. I was mad. What else we got? All right. I'm John Green.

Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos season two, baby. This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? Is to value time, to be cognizant of time and how important time is. because once the time is up, it's up, and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that push us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull up a chair.
