Summary

In this episode, Stephen A. Smith, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, and Jay Williams give their takes on Ja Morant's spectacular return to the NBA last night and give their expectations for him going forward. The guys react to Steph Curry's dagger against the Celtics and debate if he should be in the GOAT conversation, however the debate goes sideways when Mad Dog tells the crew where Shaq stands on his all-time list. Marcus Spears joins the show to debate which NFC QB he'd rather have for a stretch run. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
