Hello, friends. It’s that time of the week when we drop you some new podcast heat and this week we have another great guest as Rob Perez aka @World_Wide_Wob from Cycle Media and co-host of Buckets along with ESPN’s Cassidy Hubbarth joined us for a very fun conversation about his area of expertise in the NBA: Pettiness.

If you somehow don’t know Rob’s game, he’s the man that’s led the charge in terms of documenting NBA players being petty to each other on and off the court, and with so much drama in the NBA over the past week there was never a better time to have Rob break it all down. We discussed the Clippers-Rockets locker room tunnel incident, LeBron James and Russell Westbrook being the league’s reigning Kings of Petty, Giannis Antetokounmpo being next in line to turn to the dark side and why there have been so many fights in the last few weeks.

But first, Rob detailed his concept for an NBA version of Survivor and why Chris Paul would be the ultimate backstabber. Be sure to smash those subscribe buttons wherever you listen to podcasts (Omny, iTunes, Google) and leave a 5-star review if you’re nasty. Hopefully you enjoy this week’s show!
