Lance Stephenson Shock + Kyrie Irving Returns Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

Steve Alexander (@docktora) and Raphielle Johnson (@raphiellej) recap a busy 11-game Wednesday night in the NBA in Thursday's Roundball Stew. Lance Stephenson asked Kyrie Irving to hold his beer in one of the most surprising performances of the season as Born Ready tried to upstage Kyrie Irving in his season debut for the Nets. But Irving and the Nets got the last laugh. Steph Curry and Luka Doncic squared off before Dirk Nowitzki's jersey was retired in Dallas and both superstars suffered injuries, leaving Curry doubtful for Thursday night.
