## Resource

Ken and Anthony play audio of Bill Simmons declaring on his own podcast that the LeBron sweepstakes are over and Cleveland has won, while also suggesting Golden State got used as leverage. The hosts riff on how national media guys secretly dread covering games in Cleveland, joking that reporters have reduced the city to one steakhouse the same way they did Indianapolis. They pivot to Gary Payton's take on Sirius XM, where he argues LeBron should instead chase a title with the Sixers or Warriors, citing his daughter's volleyball career in LA. The segment closes with the hosts admitting fatigue over the nonstop rumor cycle as the decision looms.
