We kick off today's episode with a tribute to Dan McQuade, who tragically died last week after a battle with cancer. Then North Carolina native Jacob Rosenberg gives us some context for the Hornets' recent success, debuts some theories about LaMelo Ball's Post-Pastiche play, and explains why he thinks the Hornets are an unambiguous success this year. We also discuss Steph Curry's mother's interest in Judaism.
