State Farm on The Bill Simmons Podcast

Transcript

Now it's time for our, with the assist segment and it's presented by state farm on the court. No one does it alone. The biggest moments often come from teammates working together, which is my favorite kind of basketball. I'm not a nice little ball guy. One part setting up the other at just the right time. This season, the NBA has given us plenty of duos who made that connection look effortless. Normally, you would say Murray and Jokic for this because I think they they brought the best out of each other and won the 23 title together. This year, I think my favorite combo has probably been Castle and Wembley on those, those hard roles that Wenby does when Castle's out of anyone on the Spurs, I think, is the best at putting it right near the basket for him. And he got to the point there in the finals where the Knicks just started shoving Wenby as he was going for the alley oop, and just taking the non shooting foul for it. They'll probably have to change the rules. But, I like the way Castle and Wembley work together, and I think that's that's my pick for favorite up and coming combo.
