Summary

Logan Murdock and Raja Bell are back with a Friday edition of Real Ones. The Oklahoma City Thunder, the reigning champions, are off to a historic 24-1 start and don't seem to be letting up. Logan and Raja take a deep dive into the Thunder, how they’re smashing opponents, and whether they’re poised to possibly be the greatest team ever assembled. The Knicks have been hot lately and are on the heels of the Pistons for the lead in the East. Now that they’re healthy and at full strength, how scary are they? Raja then relives a story that Steve Nash told on NBA on Prime about how Raja was suspended for Game 6 of a Suns-Lakers playoff series and watched in a bar full of Lakers fans.
