In honor of the NBA Finals and festival season here in Nashville, Nate and I stretched our creative brainpower to the absolute MAX. We dreamed up a world where basketball’s greatest players decided to make a career pivot to 2025 bro country. We asked ourselves: Would they keep their names? Or would they need to Bryan-ize themselves (a la Zach Bryan, Luke Bryan, and 100s of others)?
Mostly: Are Nate and Julia ok?
Without further ado, here we go.
