From there (55:00): Renewed questions about the 65-game rule and awards, will guaranteed contracts survive the next CBA?, Ja Morant concerns, AD second opinions, Sixers orthopedist stock, and a Knicks swoon.

On today's show Andrew and Ben recap the NBA Draft. First: The spectrum of emotions as the Wizards orbit Ace Bailey for 36 hours and then end up with Tre Johnson instead, the Sixers land V.J. Edgecombe as a bridge to the future, why the Mavs were bigger winners than Cooper Flagg on Wednesday, and the Spurs keep it simple at 2 as the bigger picture remains cloudy. From there (55:00): Marveling at the last 96 hours of Pelicans decisions, fact-checking the notion that Sean Marks is up to something, and confusion with the Blazers and Bulls confusion. At the end (1:50:00): Congrats to the GOAT bracket winner, a bit of poetry, and a shout out to “Boomtown” author Sam Anderson for his adventures touring Oklahoma City with his champagne cork this week.

On today’s show Andrew and Ben begin with LeBron looking dominant and scenes from the semifinals of the in-season tournament. Topics include: the scene in Vegas, what the games looked like on TV, schlitz vs. glitz for the final, and LeBron’s destiny on the Lakers. Then: If Tyrese Haliburton had a normal jumper, how different would his career be? Would you rather have him or SGA? At the end: Adrian Griffin inspires a tense postgame discussion, the latest twists in Zion’s frustrating career in New Orleans, a quiet number one pick crisis, and Ben prepares to fly the Flagg.
On today’s show Ben and Andrew begin with a long-awaited look to Orlando, where Paolo Banchero is beginning to look like a star, Jalen Suggs has been shot out of a cannon, and the Magic are looking like the biggest surprise of the season thus far. From there (30:00): The group stage of the in-season tournament, including updated thoughts on point differential ethics, a great slate of games on Tuesday, and demands for a walk of shame for Sharp. At the end (55:00): Notes on Rudy Gobert, Khris Middleton as the avatar of the Bucks, various theories on what might be happening with Mark Cuban in Dallas, and additional data points in the East vs. West conversation.

On today's show Andrew Sharp and Ben Golliver close out 2022 by digging into the Greatest Of All Talk archives to remember the Golden State Warriors' title. This episode originally aired on June 17 and was taped in the hours after the Warriors eliminated the Boston Celtics in six games. Topics include: Peak Stephen Curry, Draymond Green resurrected, Celtics takes revisited, and a somber autopsy for Boston. Note: Andrew and Ben will be back with a new episode to open 2023 next week.
On today's show Andrew Sharp and Ben Golliver record late-night in the aftermath of 50 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 blocks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and an NBA Championship for the Milwaukee Bucks. Topics include: What Game 6 means for Giannis, delirium in Milwaukee (and Tokyo, and D.C.), watching history in real time, and an urgent update on the Playoff Bracket Challenge. Then (18:00): How the Suns came undone, questions about Chris Paul, and Games 4-6 for BOOK. From there (30:00): A Suns fan shows Giannis love, Milwaukee’s path through the playoffs, and a discussion of Giannis and his peculiar standing among his peers. At the end (55:00): So hold up: are we still firing Bud? Plus updates to Chris Paul mythology, Pat Riley is right about the big things, a few (respectful, tasteful) Giannis/Jordan parallels, and a farewell to a great Finals.
Note: The episode concludes with a portion of an October 24, 2017, episode of Sports Illustrated's Open Floor.
On today's show Andrew Sharp and Ben Golliver convene for an emergency episode to discuss everything that Kevin Durant did in Game 5, the body blows and/or cyber bullying sustained by Giannis Inc. and the Bucks, and the possibilities for the series moving forward. From there (35:00): The rest of the NBA also made sure that an emergency episode was imperative. Topics include: Haralabob emerging victorious in Dallas, the Kawhi Leonard injury and a dystopian Clippers scenario next year, LeBron James has some thoughts on the NBA schedule, Scott Brooks and Stan Van Gundy out in D.C. and New Orleans, and Chris Paul uncertainty hits the Suns as they prep for the Western Conference Finals.
