Summary

On this Friday edition of ‘Real Ones,’ Logan and Raja open the pod by discussing LeBron's confrontation with Stephen A. Smith after the Lakers defeated the Knicks in OT on Thursday night (1:07). Was LeBron in the wrong for walking up to Stephen A. in defense of Bronny? The confrontation overshadowed what was a great basketball game. Has the Knicks’ offense been exposed to being Brunson or bust (15:28)? Logan and Raja then play a game in which they explore what they're seeing from specific teams and whether those teams are peaking too early (31:46). How do Steph and Jimmy balance their coexistence on the court, as it has been helping them win? The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.
