Episode Date: May 3, 2024

Shea Serrano and Jason Concepcion are back! And this time they’re combing through all the NBA news from the past week and handing out six pop culture-themed trophies to six basketball-related activities. Every week, superlatives will reign down on basketball culture like Steph Curry threes when Jason and Shea dish out hoops honors like they’re Stockton to Malone running a pick & roll. Was that too many analogies for one sentence? Hell yes, but get used to it! In this NBA pop culture show from Wondery, the guys will honor the most magical and messy moments from the NBA and beyond by handing out hardware like “The Step Brothers Catalina Wine Mixer” Trophy for the matchup they’re most excited about. Or “The Liam Neeson ‘I Have a Very Particular Set of Skills’ Trophy given to an aging player who proves they still got it. And on and on. Till the break of dawn.

You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. Have you ever wondered if Chet Holmgren might be a descendant of Abraham Lincoln or if a UFC fighter could beat an alien in a fight? You might have not, and that's okay. I probably have thought about the UFC one to be honest, but Shea Serrano and Jason Concepcion from the Six Trophies podcast have. If you love basketball, and more importantly, if you love fun, you got to listen to Six Trophies where Jason and Shea serve up the biggest moments from all around the NBA with their brand of unbridled joy, banter, and pop culture side quests. Each week, they hand out

six pop culture themed trophies for six basketball related activities. Stuff like the Denzel Washington and Training Day trophy given out to the player or team having the best week around the NBA. Or the Lauryn Hill you might win some but you just lost one trophy for the team or player that just can't get it together. Plus a bunch more trophies for all the good, bad or just plain head scratching moments from all around the NBA. This playoff season you want to make 6 trophies your go-to companion podcast.

I'll run through mine here. I'm going to tell you who I think most improved Tyrese Maxey, six man,ik Monk, no, six man Nas Reid, Clutch Player of the Year, SGA, Coach of the Year, Mark Dagnall, MVP Jokic.

I like SGA for MVP, Rookie of the Year, Wimpy. Although it feels like these playoff games are going to start to tilt. I know it's not supposed to matter, but I feel like people are gonna be like, well, hold on a second. Hold on a second. It's impossible to not pay attention to it, yeah. He had the big block in the fourth quarter, like, well, hold on, maybe Chet, maybe Chet.

It'd be dumb. It would be so dumb if that were the case. You wanna do the little trophies? Let's do them. Let's do the little trophies. These ones change each week, and our situation is specific, they're for the smaller storylines that we wanna mention,

but don't need to get all the way into my first little trophy, the Elton John, someone saved my life tonight trophy. Someone saved my life tonight. Sugar bear. Sugar bear. To Mark Dagnall, for challenging a jump ball, late game situation, the refs call it jump ball, you have Chet, who's nine feet tall, doing the jump. And he challenges it, hold on a second, hold on, they end up

losing possession. If they if they lose that game, if the Thunder lose a game, that play that call gets, he gets shredded for that. But SGA saved his life tonight. SGA just comes through. Jay, thank you so much. Thank you so much because now I'm only gonna have to answer like four of those questions whereas before we would have spent three days talking only about that call. My first little trophy is the Dwight Schrute from the office complaints about Jim trophy. Okay so Dwight Schrute from the office complains about Jim Trophy. Okay, so Dwight, in your own words, someone replaced all my pens and pencils with crayons.

I suspect Jim Halpert. Everyone has called me Dwayne all day. I think Jim Halpert paid them to. This morning I found a bloody glove in my desk drawer and Jim Halpert tried to convince me I committed murder. I think he may be the real murderer. To the Sixers who plan to file a grievance about the refereeing in the first two games of the series.

This is on... That's what Daryl does. I think that not only should there be a grievance, I think they need to push it further. I think there needs to be a serious congressional investigation into the refereeing over the first two games of this series. And I think, and we go from there.

If it's jail time, it's jail time. If the Knicks need to be banished to another country, then that's what needs to happen. We need to get to the bottom of what's happened in the refereeing, as it pertains to the refereeing in this first two games of this series, because it's a serious crime, I think, allegedly what's going on here. And I hope they get to the bottom of it.

We haven't really spent any time talking about bucks, Pacers, other than to say the lights are bright and the Pacers look like the lights are bright. Dame, shout out Dame. Shout out Dame. 35 in the first half. Side note, when Halliburton did the Dame time during the play-in,

and what did Dame say at the time? Hey, I've been there, we've all been there, you get excited, but just understand where you are in the moment. Man, that's the slow motion clap back from Dame waiting all this time. He was waiting, you knew. Waiting all this time in the cut to just take his revenge now in the playoffs and be like, guess what? This is, I'm like a fish in water.

This is where I live. Welcome, welcome to the big leagues, my friend. Welcome to my world. Welcome to the deep pools of water where I live. Incredible performance, shots to the bucks, no Yanis, and Dame Chris Middleton and those guys just did the thing. Bobby Portis, all with his crazy eyes, all of them. Bobby Portis was playing. I was so happy to see Chris Middleton back in the number two role,

which I think is where he fits the best. You got to win that game if you're the Pacers. Mavericks have to beat the Clippers without Kawhi. The Pacers have to beat the Bucks without Giannis. You didn't do it. Tyrese had like seven shots or something. Like great. Like so inactive. I was, it was, I know he's coming back from injury still and it's hampered him. He looked good down the stretch, but that was a really surprising performance.

I was shocked. That wraps it up for now. But if you want to hear more, you can listen to six trophies ad free right now by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Apple podcasts.
