Steve was there. Jonathan has the stats. Mark has the East Coast take. Together they cover basketball, baseball, football, and hockey across three completely different eras of fandom. Real memories, real arguments, real numbers — from Muhammad Ali to Barry Bonds to Wayne Gretzky to the Raiders' 40 years of heartbreak. No hot takes. No corporate sponsors. Just three generations telling it straight. New episodes every Saturday. Now on YouTube.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-06T18:20:18.491195+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/generations-talking-bout-my-sports-6576448"},"episode":{"title":"S4 E28 - Is the Regular Season Dead? & LeBron goes to Philly!?!","slug":"s4-e28-is-the-regular-season-dead-lebron-goes-to-philly","published_at":"2026-07-25T19:00:01+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/generations-talking-bout-my-sports-6576448/s4-e28-is-the-regular-season-dead-lebron-goes-to-philly","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/generations-talking-bout-my-sports-6576448","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mysportsgeneration/episodes/S4-E28---Is-the-Regular-Season-Dead---LeBron-goes-to-Philly-e3mhr4c","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e57de50c/podcast/play/123316812/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-25%2F428611618-44100-2-4f35ed52a0078.mp3","summary":"Generations Talkin' My Sports | S4 E28 | \"Is the Regular Season Dead? LeBron to the Sixers & The Playoff Expansion Problem\" Premiering today on Spotify | Full video on YouTube next Saturday LeBron James signs with the Philadelphia 76ers at age 42, and the guys can't help themselves — they go deep on what it means for the Celtics, the league, and the greatest question in modern sports: does the regular season even matter anymore? 🏀 LeBron to Philly — The Celtics Got Punched Twice The Sixers already got Jaylen Brown. Now they get LeBron. Mark breaks down why this is a double gut-punch to Boston — they gave away a top-15 player to their rival and watched the greatest player alive follow him there.

LeBron's 300-plus playoff games vs. Bill Russell's 163. Mickey Mantle played in 65 World Series games. Max Muncy has played in 14 more playoff games than Mickey Mantle.
