J.R. Smith on Lakers Bubble title, LeBron's leadership, future for Anthony Davis, favorite pair of Kobe's

This is not just a football podcast! On Episode 5, we're truly living up to the name 'All Things Covered'. We hit our normal check-ins with Patrick Peterson and the Arizona Cardinals (10:15) and the rest of the NFL (22:30), but also catch up with newly crowned (for the second time) NBA champion J.R. Smith of the Los Angeles Lakers for a wide-ranging conversation (34:00). Hey, athletes aren't perfect. To open the pod, Pat and BMac admit to some mistakes they made early in their careers. There weren't many mistakes from the Cardinals on Monday Night Football, as P2 details the dominant effort vs. the Cowboys which included plenty of celebrating and a breakout performance from Budda Baker. Next up is a daunting matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Pat shares what makes 2nd-year wide receiver D.K. Metcalf such a difficult cover plus where Russell Wilson ranks among the league's best quarterbacks. The guys also chat about the Dolphins surprising decision to name Tua Tagovailoa their starting QB, plus Le'Veon Bell's fit with the Chiefs. Then, the champ is here! J.R. Smith won a title in the bubble just over a week ago and now joins us to reflect on the Lakers run and his unique role with the team. Did he show up wearing a shirt? Well, you might have to head over to our YouTube channel for that answer. J.R. explains what makes LeBron James such an incredible teammate and how much he puts into his body and his game. All things are covered from Anthony Davis' future with the team, Kyrie Irving's recent comments, leaving Quinn Cook behind and much, much more.
