5R77- Ethan and Chris do a Friday Sports News Dump, recapping the news that Wayne Ellington has re-signed with the Miami Heat and the vote that wasn't a vote that took place at the Miami City Commission on the Miami MLS Stadium proposal. Chris endured an 11 hour meeting. So you better listen.

NBA: The Banana Boat Crew + Dwight

5R76- Ethan and Chris discuss the latest reporting on Carmelo Anthony potentially joining the Miami Heat, and use it as a launching pad to discuss the rest of the banana boat crew. Why hasn't Dwyane Wade committed to come back? Why do the Lakers look like they're going to be an average Western Conference team with LeBron? How much will the Rockets regret paying Chris Paul? Plus, we examine Dwight Howard's plight as someone regularly in the conversation with those players to a punchline.

Heat Stories: "Forever Man" with Brian Grant

5R75 -- In the latest edition of our "Heat Stories" series, Ethan and Chris speak to Brian Grant, who played in the NBA from 1994 to 2006, including 2000 to 2004 with the Miami Heat. The candid conversation starts with Grant's upbringing in Ohio and his breakout at Xavier University; continues with his drafting to Sacramento and signing in Portland; and covers his recruitment by Pat Riley to join the Heat. It closes with his diagnosis with early-onset Parkinson's Disease, his friendships with Michael J. Fox and the Ali family, Pat Riley dubbing him a "Forever Man" at his Shake It 'til We Make It event, and his work toward a cure for the disease with the Brian Grant Foundation.
