EARLY #36: Growing Older

The hosts get philosophical with talk of aging, parenting, and the self-developmental epiphanies Mek has had in recent weeks. Then they discuss the weirdness of this year’s NBA Finals (and the entire season, really), give their predictions, and debate Giannis Antetokounmpo’s status as a two-time MVP.

Highlights:

contemplating familiarity and getting older as Mek’s dad celebrates a birthday

parents as role models in a child’s eyes (in both good and bad ways)

how Mek’s thinking has changed over the last couple of weeks

why this game called life has two main players in it for every person

the fine line between planning ahead and over-thinking

where a lot of people’s unhappiness comes from

the difference between having a focus vs. fixed mindset

sports betting on the NBA Finals being a thing that happens

why this basketball season feels like it has an asterisk attached

why Bruke finds Giannis Antetokounmpo’s record in game 2 (and MVP status) unimpressive

running down the list of MVPs in the NBA and if Giannis makes the cut

the media championing and milking this as CP3’s time
