Ed and Jeff on Bill Simmons Thursday

[verb_to_trust]

Jeff said Kemp was second best player in the NBA at one point. That was never true, but nice to see Kemp love.

Yeah, definitely. The Sonics were fun to watch, but to say he was second best is a stretch. I'm sure we could find at least five other players during that era not named Jordan, who were better.

But that was certainly generous of Jeff.

Yea...clearly wrong and Bill did a good job of not slamming him. Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Detlef Schrempf - loved that trio.

Pretty good interview so far, but I just got to the 70-minute mark and I hate hate hate it when Bill uses that old "let's talk about rock bands cause they're aren't many anymore" bullshit

[RAG319]

Oh, but Jeff with the amazing response "I think there's more great music now than there's ever been."

Maybe Jeff was thinking of the 96 Finals? Kemp was certainly top 2 in that series. His career superstar trajectory after that season seemed pretty set in stone, until it wasn't.

[Noaheb]

good interview but did Ed chain-smoke like a carton of cigarettes during this?
So glad he still has a voice

[RAG319]

Holy crap...the best part of this interview is when Bill drops off and Ed and Jeff just chat about scoring in Baseball v. Basketball. They still chat like they're new bandmates.

[RAG319]

Also, seems more likely to me Ed's smoking a joint and is relighting it from time to time.

When Ed said the best they sounded was yesterday because he was listening to their rehearsal tapes for the tour, that hurt a little bit. Hopefully the Europe tour is good to go, but I struggle to see how with what's going on.

cocaine is a helluva drug. twinkies are a helluva drug.

one of my favorite parts of the interview is when Ed asks "John" for a beer.

wut.

Kemp was the second best player on his own team.

wut.

I guess there’s a guy named John quarantining with Ed and his family.

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[dad]

I’m assuming it was a remote session with Ed in his own studio, with an engineer named John.

I thought the same thing. Maybe Ed has John Burton fetch him beers in the off season.

yeah, this is my guess.

That’s his man servant. You don’t have a man servant?
