Summary
Rob and Kelvin debate whether Jalen Brunson choosing not to recruit LeBron James to New York proves that most star players don’t really want to play with The King, and argue whether it’s time for Shohei Ohtani to give up this charade of being a two-way player in the Majors. Plus, NBA champion and FOX Sports Radio NBA analyst Antonio Daniels swings by to discuss which team makes the most sense for LeBron James in free agency, why he believes Luka Doncic’s Los Angeles Lakers squad will struggle without LeBron, how the NBA’s second apron is negatively impacting teams around the league, and much more!
