The Ryen Russillo Show

Russillo gives his immediate reaction to LeBron James signing a 2 year deal with the 76ers.

Ryen opens with his thoughts on the first round of the NBA Draft, including his final player rankings (Peterson over AJ). Then, Jay Bilas stops by to discuss why the players at the top of the draft were so interchangeable, the league's renewed emphasis on drafting big men, Cam Boozer landing with the Grizzlies, and how many players in this class have a realistic chance to be the best player from the draft five years from now. Finally, Kyle and Ceruti join for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including a guy who's worried he's hotter than his girlfriend and a cat dilemma after having kids.
