Seth and Tray take it back to the 2000s to spotlight the ultimate “glue guys” the players who may not have been superstars, but were essential to keeping their teams together and competing at the highest level.
They debate what really defines a glue guy, and where the line is between role player and primary option. The conversation highlights defensive-minded standouts like Tayshaun Prince, Bruce Bowen, Tony Allen, Shane Battier, and Doug Christie, players whose impact went far beyond the box score.
Seth also shares a great behind-the-scenes story about the Curry family’s initial concerns when Steve Kerr took over the Golden State Warriors, and why they worried he might try to turn Steph into a Derek Fisher-type player.
The guys reveal their Top 5 glue guys of the decade, and cap things off with one of the best “Born in the Wrong Era” picks yet.
