Because it’s quiet around the NBA, but not too quiet to discuss several important topics.

Well Kawhi finally opened his mouth, er … sorta.

At the very least his camp released a letter, which is totally fine, if you like that sorta thing.

Here at Fastbreak Breakfast we are pretty big fans of The Claw, while still maintaining a healthy distance. After all, over the years we have suggested he is a cyborg, artificial intelligence gone awry, and a super soldier. Just in case any of our outlandish theories contain any accuracy, we hope to continue to remain unnoticed.

So on a brand new episode, we give Leonard’s missive the respectful treatment it deserves, and then meander into an intense trivia showdown for the Game of Scones Throwdown. Cause after all, it IS the offseason.

Among the additional topics covered through either competitive trivia or banter:

  • In the last 10 years, which players had the worst shooting seasons?
  • Should the NCAA be commended for lurching forward with player agents for some top recruits, or is the whole thing an embarrassing misstep?
  • What elite statistical fraternity do DeMar DeRozan and Giannis Antetokounmpo have the chance of joining next season?
  • Tony Parker officially joining the Hornets means now there is one less player who has played over 1000 games while spending their entire career with just one franchise. Who are the others?
  • Would a spelling bee using only NBA player names be worth watching?
