Listen "Sixers/Lakers, Stop Doubting Lebron, Trade Rumors, Super Bowl | The Betting Academy: Hoops Edition"
Episode Synopsis
Gina Paradiso and Kendrick Perkins preview tonight’s “Big Three” games; Lakers/Sixers (+3.5) as they discuss how some people (ahem-Jason Hillman) will never learn not to poke King James and to stop betting against him. Heat(+6)/Nuggets as Perk explains Duncan Robinson’s true value to Miami. Mavericks (+2)/ Jazz and why Luka needs to make more “winning plays” more than just putting up triple-double type stats. Gina thinks bettors are sleeping on the Jazz but Perk still wants to see them beat top tier teams (02:00). Then they discuss some trade rumors including Bradley Beal and the need for him to formally request a trade (28:45), JJ Reddick would be a great fit in Boston and how Derrick Rose would be a game changing piece for the LA Clippers. Gina and Perk look at some long shot odds to “Put a Dollah” on it including a dark horse for 6th Man of the Year (39:30) and Perk says Deshaun Watson to the 49ers makes sense, stay the hell away from the NY Jets (46:15)! Perk and Gina disagree on the Super Bowl as Perk is all in on the Chiefs and Gina refuses to bet against Brady (48:30). Finally, Perk remembers the great Kobe Bryant, 1-year after his tragic passing (54:15). The Betting Academy: Hoops Edition is a collaboration between The Gaming Society and the Extra Points Podcast Network.
