4PM: Is Giannis the Peak of Wisconsin Athletes?
Matt Hamilton & Molly Brown hold it down on Phish Friday for their final show before Jim Rutledge returns from spring break. They start by marveling at the greatness of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who became the first player in NBA history to post a 35, 17, 20 stat line last night! But, Molly wants to know if Wisconsin sports fans are too light in their expectations with Giannis winning just one championship and how this compares to how we feel about the careers of Packers QBs Aaron Rodgers & Brett Favre... They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Who is the most successful athlete in WI sports history: Giannis, Rodgers or Favre? They peruse the small litany of fan submissions for other all-time great WI athletes and players/coaches who started their careers in Wisconsin before achieving greatness elsewhere. Jason Wilde joins the show to discuss today's topic of the most successful athlete in Wisconsin sports history (Giannis, Rodgers or Favre) and where Brewers legends like Robin Yount fall in that conversation. They also discuss the fast-approaching draft in Green Bay and the importance of this year's first-round pick for Gutey, and Jason explains why there might not be a position other than QB that the Packers couldn't realistically pursue in Round 1. Matt & Molly wrap Hour 1 with some more "other" options for today's poll question and a new pet name for producer Primetime Wollersheim...
