Summary

We’re one day away from the start of the NBA season. As one season ends, another begins, with the New York Liberty winning the WNBA championship—no, not Angel Reese or Caitlin Clark, but the Liberty! The NBA tips off with the Knicks vs. Celtics, and Mazzulla is up to his usual mental gymnastics, though Amin and Charlotte think Boston has a shot. We’ll finally see Karl-Anthony Towns, but questions remain about his commitment to the Knicks. Another big storyline is whether Bronny James will play on NBA Day—Amin and Charlotte think it’s possible, but how long he’ll stay on the court is uncertain. This season, we’re debuting a new segment called Hot Streak, where Amin and Charlotte make DraftKings picks and aim to build a winning streak. Learn more about your ad choices.
