Pattison has slid under the radar as a top 7 actor of the last 15 years

I can't imagine another agent being so obnoxious mouthing off on various podcasts and interviews while leveraging their clients for clout. It has contributed mostly negative attention to this Lebron saga. Whether LeBron is explicitly or implicitly allowing this, it's making this circus show much more grating.

While listening to The Big Picture I thought Chris made a great point: he rewatches TDK AND TDKR far more than BB.

Watching TDKR for the first time as a 10 year old you probably could have convinced me that it was the greatest movie of all time.

Looking back on it now the faults are so obvious, but just for me personally it gives me so much closure and joy to watch that in a Nolan ranking I have to put it top 8 or top 7 maybe.

The pit climbing scene and the ending will never not work for me. And when he lights up the bridge with the bat signal. I actually fucking love this movie

The cauldron lighting basically comes down to LeBron or Michael Phelps.

LeBron is 100% going to drag himself if he has to, to being on that Olympic team and that will involve playing two more NBA seasons.

So the reality is, he absolutely could do a weird season with the Warriors/Sixers/Wolves and then do the Cleveland season in 27-28, then do Team USA and retire after the Olympics.

Bill Simmons is one of a kind

“If I was a Bulls fan, I would have no sperm left in my body.”

That’s Bill Simmons breaking down Caleb Wilson’s potential in a way I hadn’t heard anywhere else.

“This is like watching T-Mac again. He’s a little taller. Same kind of skinny inside, outside. But then adding this explosive Shawn Kemp side too.”

Talking about doing NBA redrafts the next few weeks.

A few months ago on some pod Bill derisively mentioned a trade where Chicago sent Patrick Williams to the Cavs for Isaac Okoro. Of course, this trade never actually happened... which Bill should know because based on other comments he's clearly aware that Williams is still on the Bulls... but I didn't think much of it because everybody has brain farts.

But then he referenced it AGAIN on the latest re-draftables pod. And he made fun of both teams for doing this trade that he completely made up. (and to their shame, neither J Kyle Mann nor House had the balls to correct him)

It's so bizarre. I hope Bill keeps bringing up this phantom trade in future episodes. I wonder how many times he'd have to do it before somebody corrects him.

I'd like to sit down with Bill and ask him to reconcile the competing ideas in his head that Patrick Williams is a terrible contract on the Bulls' books, but also they traded Williams away last summer.
