Mike & Jake: The Almost Experts - Episode 18

LeBron’s Legacy, Super Teams & the 82-0 Challenge (ft. Coach Alex Wiggs) | Ep. 18

In episode 18 of Mike & Jake: The Almost Experts Podcast, Mike and Jake welcome Three Rivers College head girls basketball coach Alex Wiggs and discuss LeBron James, including his reported move to the 76ers and how super teams, longevity, and flopping affect his legacy compared to Michael Jordan. They debate whether LeBron was properly hyped, talk about modern NBA athleticism, and compare impact on the game from Jordan and Steph Curry. The conversation shifts to basketball philosophy on mid-range shots versus threes and layups, then to hobbies like hunting, fishing, and Call of Duty as ways to unwind from coaching. They also touch on MLB topics like the Cubs’ trade deadline, briefly argue about the Savannah Bananas and Harlem Globetrotters, and finish by playing the “82 and 0 Challenge,” with teams featuring players like Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Chris Webber.
