Summary

Logan and Raja open by discussing the unique relationship between NBA players and golf and why they gravitate to the individual sport (2:00). Next, they talk about how dominant the Denver Nuggets have been during the Finals and what they’ve done to mostly shut down the Miami Heat’s offense through four games (10:00). Along the way, Raja explains why it’s essential for an NBA role player to be able to play their part and how that can not only extend their career but also enhance it (25:00). Finally, the guys close with their Real Ones of the Week (1:00:00). The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.
