Welcome back to another episode of KOTC!
This week Tyler Loong & Jimmy Miller break down everything from MLP Columbus, including the California Black Bears' performance, the continued struggles of the St. Louis Shock despite one of the most expensive rosters in MLP history, and whether the pickleball world is too quick to overreact to a single event.
The guys discuss the recent Genie Bouchard trade, Alix Truong's move to the Flames, the Palm Beach Royals' roster decisions, and why one-game-to-11 MLP matches can create some wild results. They also dive into the ongoing debate surrounding international PPA points, John McEnroe's comments about pickleball, and whether top pros should be stronger ambassadors for the sport.
Plus: MLP St. Louis preview, Anna Bright and the pressure facing the Shock, championship ceremony controversy, and Tyler's now-infamous Museum of Ice Cream golden spoon story.
