Summary
Rob and Kelvin discuss why so many hoops fans have issues with notorious fail merchants like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Brunson, and explain why the pitiful Western Conference Finals Game 1 television ratings are such a bad omen for the NBA. Plus, former AND1 baller and WNBA assistant coach Tim ‘Headache’ Gittens swings by to share his thoughts on the fallout from Caitlin Clark’s hard foul on Angel Reese, whether the WNBA is built to really capitalize on the Clark phenomenon, which stars deserve more attention, and much more!

| 0:32.4 | Obviously, no surprise. |
| 0:35.7 | One of those, again, we've had this conversation in football and where you know the best player, but for whatever reasons, you know, best, it's not the best player. It's who had the best season or the best moment or was more valuable to their team. And so SGA was taking home the award. Kind of knew that. And, you know, my theory is just, I think people get fatigued i've been saying it i just right or wrong i think it's i just think that's dumb |
| 0:59.5 | i'm not i'm not argue like i get your premise like if somebody's the MVP that's not what the |
| 1:04.1 | league that's not what the award is barry bond's won seven MVP's i just like like he was the best |
| 1:10.7 | player like it would be dumb for a writer to sit there watch a guy here Barry Bonds won seven MVPs. I just like, like he was the best player. |

| 1:26.8 | I know. |
| 1:27.2 | That mindset, it makes no sense. I get what you're saying. I do wonder, because I've asked you this before, if baseball only had one MVP, I wonder if it will be different, meaning not the league, your A.L, your NL. Meaning, would Barry Bonds have won seven, just straight up MVP? I think so. His numbers were so great. |
| 1:44.9 | I just don't know how you would have not voted for him. |
| 1:47.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:47.9 | That would be my only thing I'd be curious about. Because it didn't win every year. I mean, he played for 15 years. So, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm wondering, you know what I mean? Like, well, he's got enough. He's got four. Say it was four at that point. |
