He's one of the funniest motherfuckers alive. Same with Chuck, really. But the second they start talking about the modern NBA, they reveal all the shit they don't know. They're still thinking it's the same game as 30-40 years ago. It also doesn't help that they clearly don't watch tape, as shown by that "Name That Player" segment, lmao.

So if he realized he's there to pop shit, be funny, tell some fun "back in the day" stories, and bust some balls occasionally? He's perfect at that. But he can't hang with Candace in a breakdown of the intricacies of the modern NBA. Be it age or unwillingness to learn... he's just never gonna come across well in a convo like that.

Candace is, unsurprisingly, brilliant and fantastic at her job. (D-Wade is also really good from what I've seen.)
