Listen now
Description
The FAN Morning Show’s final hour hosted by Brent Gunning and Daniela Franceschi kicks off with basketball talk as the pair discuss Game 4 tonight in the NBA Finals, before looking ahead to the summer for Canada Basketball; the excitement and chances for them at the 2024 Paris Olympics Games. They continue the conversation with the man leading the program, Jordi Fernández. He talks about taking on the Brooklyn Nets’ job and why remaining Canada’s head coach was important to him, as well as getting acclimated to the country and the welcome he has felt since taking the gig. The hosts get his take on expectations for the summer ahead starting with their training camp in two weeks; what he expects the roster to look like and how nice it is to have some of the options he does. At the back end of this hour, Brent and Daniele are joined by friend of the show, SN 590’s own Sam McKee (31:42). The trio dive into their Canadian pride, the feeling of seeing their country’s teams compete at top levels and their excitement for the upcoming Olympics and Copa América. To wrap up this week, the guys chat about U.S Open, their belief in Rory McIlroy to win another major and a surprisingly disappointing first round for Scottie Scheffler.
