07/13/2021 - Best of The Doug Gottlieb Show

Doug Gottlieb explains how the American culture of basketball is the cause for Team USA’s failures at a global level. We put too much emphasis on scoring and too little on ‘team.’ 16-year MLB veteran Curtis Granderson stops by to weigh in on the Home Run Derby, All-Star Game and the best way to grow the sport of baseball. Doug points out of the flaws in Naomi Osaka’s logic, as the tennis pro continues her mission to alter press conferences in order to assist her mental health. He’s joined by 13-year NBA veteran Antonio Daniels to discuss Team USA turning into a national embarrassment and how they can turn it around before the Olympics. Doug explains why Shohei Ohtani’s reliability on an interpreter hinders his ability to become the face of baseball, but says the two-way Japanese phenom shouldn’t be criticized for his inability to speak English.
