Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal
Q: What are your thoughts on modern basketball milestones and how do they compare to past eras?
Shaq notes that records are meant to be broken, offers perspective on the free-throw dynamics of the era, and expresses admiration for players who push the boundaries while acknowledging strategic aspects of the game.
Basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal
Q: What brings you to Edmonton and what does this partnership with The Brick involve?
Shaq explains that he is in town for a brand partnership with The Brick, highlighting the creation of the Shaqopedic line and the collaboration between his brand and the Canadian retailer, while also touching on his broader entertainment and public appearances.
THE OTHER SIDE: Jesse Montano from Guerilla Sports on the Avalanche
Q: What impact has Nazem Kadri had on the team after the trade?
Kadri has brought a gritty, versatile presence that fits the lineup well, lifting the team's overall competitiveness and giving the locker room renewed confidence as they pursue a deep playoff run.
THE OTHER SIDE: Jesse Montano from Guerilla Sports on the Avalanche
Q: What have been some of the keys to the Avalanche's sustained success this season?
The depth down the middle, improved distribution of minutes by coach Jared Bednar, and the addition of players like Brock Nelson and Nazem Kadri have created a more balanced, deeper lineup that reduces reliance on the top line while keeping pressure off Nathan MacKinnon.
Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi
Q: What stood out to you about Canada's first few World Baseball Classic games?
Canada showed a clean, self-imposed discipline in the opener against Colombia, but hadn't yet solidified their late-game execution, as evidenced by the shaky sixth inning vs Panama. The team has depth and competitive potential, but needs to minimize late slips and maximize offense to keep pace with the tournament's powerhouses.
