Summary

We’re so excited to welcome Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams back to the show, this time as an NBA Champion! Jalen shares the context of the wrist injury he played through in the playoffs, and explains why he kept it a secret and how he needed to change his shot. He then takes us back through each series of the Thunder’s Finals run against the Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Indiana Pacers. He also shares his favorite moments from the Thunder’s parade and celebrations, as well as his thoughts on the trades and signings of the NBA offseason. The convo closes out with Jalen once again giving some movie takes. Let’s go!
