In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Bob, and Chris Johnson sit down with six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan for a real conversation about longevity, consistency, and sticking to what works. Deebo shares why the mid-range still matters, how he studies the game to stay effective, and the discipline behind 17 seasons at the top—no alcohol, no shortcuts, just work.

 

They also break down Game 2 of the Finals: how OKC made the right adjustments, from SGA attacking differently to Caruso’s defensive presence and the impact of playing two bigs. On the Pacers side, the guys talk what’s missing—why Siakam and Turner have to show up, and how Haliburton can lead without forcing.

 

From old-school one-on-one battles to today’s overreliance on analytics, the episode covers how the game’s changing—and who’s built to last.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
