Summary

The Nightcap episode covers March Madness Sweet 16 previews, including Arizona vs Arkansas and Purdue vs Texas matchups, along with a critical analysis of Bleacher Report's controversial top 15 purest NBA scorers list that omits James Harden, Allen Iverson, and Kobe Bryant.

Insights
  • Controversial sports rankings designed for engagement often omit historically significant players, suggesting metrics prioritize virality over accuracy
  • Arizona's defensive rebounding dominance (27-rebound margin vs Utah State) and guard play are key factors in their Sweet 16 run
  • Purdue's disciplined offensive execution (57% FG, 53% 3P, 95% FT) demonstrates that elite shooting percentages are nearly unbeatable in tournament play
  • Social media engagement-driven content creation incentivizes deliberately flawed takes to generate discussion and impressions
  • Modern NBA scoring comparisons must account for era differences, rule changes, and defensive intensity when evaluating all-time greats

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- 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. Didn't 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 gonna defeat you. Yeah. Yeah, we tough. Yeah. Okay.

All right. Remember when we get back on here. I mean, listen, I ain't wish you no bad juju.

He gonna 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? Nah, nah, Joe. You know that man be rooting against him? You already know what's going on. Then he come on here and act like he down. Boy, I know what's going on. I'm with you, Joe. I'm with you, Joe. 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. Nah, I ain't like that. I ain't like that. You know, Joe, I wish y'all boys well, though, Joe. All right, all right. I want to see them boys go far as possible. Yeah, 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 style. Yeah, I thought, yeah. Yeah. In Arizona, man, they got some dogs. They got size. They do. They had good guard play today. Uh-huh. Yeah. We got something for that, though. Y'all got to keep them off the glass. Yeah, they got to keep us off the glass. They got to keep us out of transition. 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. Joe, I like the energy, Joe. That's good energy, boy. That's good energy. 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 Carver-Redhead 19 is the number two seed Boilermakers. Back to the Sweet 16 for the third straight season. Purdue's Sweet 16 opponent, the Longhorns. Hey, Unc, he done had them nine assists. I remember we betted that the Bulls were going to have them nine assists. He had eight. I mean, he's supposed to get ten. Yeah. They were too much for the U, man. Yeah. 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. 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 of 12, hell, they might shoot 60, 65% from him. Yeah, yeah, I know. And he was 0 of 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. Damn. 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 Philyon Jr. had nine points. Let's go!

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the underexplored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. March Madness is here, and if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, Flagrant and Funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, UConn is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to UConn and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thick in just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset UConn. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments, the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to Flagrant and Funny with Carrie Champion and Jamel Hill on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old, I watched every game, and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, 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 Alarcón 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. 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. 12 assists, the second most assist by an Alabama player in a tournament since 1984. Alabama's sweet 16 opponent, the number one seed, Michigan Wolverines. Oh, it's going to be 80. Hey, Michigan got some trees down there too, boy. They do. Golly. It's going to start getting thick now. It's going to start getting thick now. We're going to get some real, real good games now. Alabama been tough. Texas Tech, Ocho, they lost their center, who was their 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 down throughout the season but they just ran into a gritty a gritty uh alabama team bro who who is uh out of player i don't think he they leading score but i think he's one i think he averaged 20 a game who did uh it's a little guard you know he got into a little trouble oh yeah yeah what they got the one that got arrested yeah yeah yeah had that scunion on on him, had like two and a half pounds of scuny. Yeah, that ooey, had that scunk. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Scuny, ooey. Yeah, he ain't have that, he ain't have a dispensary like Mocho. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, so he, 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, Colby, Giannis, Kyrie, O'Neal, Mitchell 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 but the list is garbage he didn't write it off about 7, 6, 7, 8 names and Kobe name wasn't mentioned in that top 5 so just take that list ball it up and throw it away I'm just... Now, Steph Curry, Steph Curry, rightfully so. Rightfully so. He's number one. Who gonna argue that? You can't argue that. Now, 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, 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 saying He top 10 I think he top 10 in the nba history in scoring so hey man come on bro what are they coming up what are they coming up what are they coming up with this oh where you get these where you get this from you know what i think they know i think they do i know i think they do joe especially on twitter when they create these they create these for engagement 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 all from from twitter yeah oh okay no for you for you for your engagement and your impressions or something like that i'm not sure how it worked i think i need to sign up for that because i got show maybe you ain't i i thought you would have had it as much as you been with it nah nah i got i got i got to sign up for it i don't like feeling all that all that stuff out joe it's too much work yeah too much work too 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're 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 won't 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. Because they know you ain't got Jordan, you ain't got James Harden. James Harden averaged 36, averaged 34. James Harden is about to hit 30,000 points. Puri 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? if James Harden a better scorer than Kobe and you ain't even got the man on the list yeah I get it I get it but for James Harden not to be up there man stop you heard what I told Joe I mean what I told Joe 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 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. I'm talking about real high. I've looked at the list and I'm like, come on now. Brian Dawkins was up there too I'm like come on what 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 it's working big time hold on you ain't got Jerry West you ain't got Elgin Baylor you ain't got Will 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. 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. You know, way back then when they had like 8, 12 teams. Yeah. That's one thing. But once you got – anytime you average at least 35 since the merger, and I think the merger 76-77 come on now yeah it's ridiculous oh lord have mercy oh my goodness that's what I'm saying I'm saying hey I'm saying Mello a top 10 scorer in NBA yeah Mello wasn't by the bucket Tracy McGrady was a scorer oh they ain't have him on now hell nah They had 62 points in the game. 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. I had a year-wide average by 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. You see me. There's no score. 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, hey, hey, can you talk about this pending? Oh, no. Hey, that transaction, it ain't, it's going through. As far as scoring, we ain't gonna put Allen Ivers on. Oh, man. Oh, that's, hey, that's a good one. That's a good one. Man, come on, I'm getting bad. It's like my grandma used to say, the more I talk, the more I talk, the better I got. That man average. Because it's a bulljive. Mellow. No mellow. No hard. No A-high. 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 Tracy McGrady. Yeah, yeah. Because Iverson was, hey, boy, listen. Them early 2000s, them late 90s. Yeah. I mean, I'm running the league. What? I bet. 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 led the league in scoring one year. He led the league in scoring one year. But you look at KD, Jordan Harden you 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 gonna see that ish no more you don't think so not no rookie coming to drop 28 again Jordan has 28 as a rookie you don't think hey Joe they gotta have that green light to be able to shoot that wheel I think at some point, 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's going to come along as a rookie. And I'm talking about he's going to be out there handing them out. You hear me? He's going to be handing them out. Think about it. Kevin Durant averaged a little bit 20. Jordan, LeBron averaged 20. Mello averaged 20. I think 21. Yeah, come on. This man averaged 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. Oh, ridiculous. Oh, Mike, 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. He won four, yeah. Hey, all the other team owners say since they got that line, everybody got a charter now. He said, man, y'all should have sued him early. He's going to take somebody with deep pockets that wasn't afraid. Man, you not finna push, look. I don't really know how Mike operate, but he ain't gonna let y'all walk. You not finna 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, Mike go more to NC 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 in San Diego? I think he do be having stuff, but I think it'd be so private, invite only. He ain't in. Yes, yes. Because he normally put on something at the Ocho game. Man, he should do that every year. That was the best part at Ocho. Everybody was trying to get him out. Yeah, that thing 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 if I was at him, no, I don't think I was. You went up. That thing was like that. That thing was like that. Like that. Yeah, Joe, that thing was nice, Joe. And he was in the back, he up in the cut. He ain't visible, he's his thing, but he way back off, you know, ooh, you gotta go up and around and down the body. But, nah, man. There was a guy, and I don't know if you guys remember, there was a guy named Andrew Toney. Yeah, I do. Played with the Philadelphia 76ers. They call him the Boston Strangler. A straight bucket. Get to him. That's what they call him because he gave the Celtics hell. So that's what they dubbed him the Boston Strangler. World be free. Yeah. He changed his name to World. His name was Lloyd. He changed his name to World because he could do it anywhere. Right. 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. And I think the thing sometimes, don't you, you kind of want to get engagements. And the more outlandish or ridiculous something is, the more engagements that you want to get. Damn, you can't make it so egregious.

Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. March Madness is here, and if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, We've got you covered on the podcast, Flagrant and Funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, UConn is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas.

So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset UConn. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments, the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you. Listen to Flagrant and Funny with Carrie Champion and Jamel Hill on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
