Summary
Rob and Kelvin lament the fact that these NBA Finals still don’t have any real buzz as the Oklahoma City Thunder find themselves on the brink of a championship, tell us if it’s fair to compare Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams to Scottie Pippen, and tell us if it’s imperative for sports figures and organizations like the Los Angeles Dodgers to speak up on social and political issues.
