Summary
On today's episode, Jason discusses why he refuses to believe that the San Antonio Spurs are dead after falling behind 0-2 in the NBA Finals, why the narrative that Victor Wembanyama would somehow become less great if he loses to the New York Knicks, where these Knicks rank amongst the greatest NBA champions since the Steph Curry-Kevin Durant Golden State Warriors, and how the discourse surrounding Jalen Brunson in this series continues to miss the mark.
