What Even Is "Fit" Anymore? Ken and Anthony Defend LeBron-to-Cleveland
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Mon Jul 06 2026
Description: Ken and Anthony argue that NBA media's obsession with LeBron's "fit" in Cleveland is hollow, pointing out the league has had eight different champions in eight years playing wildly different styles of basketball, so no one really knows what a "good fit" even means anymore. They contend coastal media members are biased against cold-weather, Midwest cities like Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago, and would be raving about the same roster if LeBron were from a sunnier market. Anthony brings up Danny Cunningham's earlier point that Jarrett Allen could be traded to better space the floor around a Mitchell-Harden-LeBron-Mobley core, since two non-shooting bigs create structural problems in the modern game. Both hosts admit they're rooting for LeBron's return and increasingly optimistic given his recent sightings back in Akron.
