About Last Night: Why Were Americans Rooting for Belgium Last Night?

Ken and Anthony rip Americans who publicly rooted for Belgium over Team USA, tying the backlash to political comments and arguing sports shouldn't get caught up in polarization, with John chiming in about his own path from conservative talk radio into sports for that exact reason. The conversation pivots to Brad Stevens defending the Celtics' decision to trade Jaylen Brown to the Sixers, with Ken taking a victory lap for correctly predicting it as a win for Boston given the punishing new NBA cap rules around paying two max players. John, a Philly native, and Ken spar over whether the Sixers' front office can be trusted to make the deal work. The segment closes with Ken questioning whether the new CBA effectively fleeced the Cavs on their Donovan Mitchell trade and whether a Mitchell trade return would even be worth pursuing now.
