This week we welcome the very comedian Pat Barker to the show. Greg Oden goes down with another season ending injury. Did he just not get enough calcium as a kid? We contemplate Allen Iverson’s return to Philadelphia and Gregg tells a story about A.I. that may or may not be true. Ron Artest admits to drinking Hennessey during halftimes when he played for Chicago. Aaron does a stellar Ray Romano impersonation. Magazines and newspapers are in battle. We discover that Barker doesn’t read books. Ex-ref Tim Donaghy’s books is published. Bryon RUssell challenges Michael Jordan to a game of one-on-one. Aaron tries out phrases to describe putting the basketball in the basket. And we have Players of the Week.
