Summary
If you're a basketball sicko... this pod is for you. Today we welcome back one of our favorite guests, ESPN analyst Tim Legler, to talk about what we've learned from this unforgettable season of NBA basketball. Topics include: Why Nikola Jokic and The Denver Nuggets are the clear favorites in The Western Conference, what makes The West the most unpredictable conference Tim has ever seen heading into the playoffs, what makes Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and The Phoenix Suns still so scary in the playoffs, how Kevin Durant is the easiest "plug-and-play" guy in the league, what's happened to Jayson Tatum and The Boston Celtics this year, who in The Eastern Conference are tier one contenders, why Tim has a hard time fully believing in James Harden and The Philadelphia 76ers, Tim admits he was as wrong as he's ever been about the ceiling of Jalen Brunson, realistic expectations for The New York Knicks and The Cleveland Cavaliers, why The Miami Heat have been such a disappointment (and still might be the biggest sleeper in The East), Tim reveals exactly why he's picking Joel Embiid as his MVP this season and so much more. Enjoy the show!
