Cousin Sal, Shek, and Martin are back for a half-hearted deep dive into why The Finals is a ubiquitous term except for the NHL’s “Stanley Cup Finals”. What makes them so special? The Lightning might be a bad name, but the Avalanche is worse according to Shek. The Sal Special continues as Cousin Sal and co are still hot on -9.5 for either the Celtics or the Warriors. Are pro baseball players becoming slobs?

Sausage patties vs links, it almost comes to blows.

Then Extra Points catches up with 7-time NBA champion Robert “Big Shot Rob” Horry. Tatum’s driving style is causing turnovers, so Horry won’t compare him to Kobe. Why moving the 3pt line back wouldn’t matter in today’s NBA. Comparing Shaq vs. Hakeem in today’s game. A quick game of “Start, Bench, Cut” as Horry decides between former big men and teammates Tim Duncan, Shaq, and Hakeem the Dream. Finally, how would Horry deal with Draymond Green?
