Summary

On a brand new Shortcast (Mortcast but short ... get it?) Jeff talks about how the NBA has lost it's shine because they've transitioned from aspiration to relatability. How the league thrives on daydreaming about things you will never be able to do as an average person ... which is why Victor Wembanyama might be the key to making the NBA remember what it once was.
