5/31/20261 hr 41 min
Ryen opens with the Spurs heading to the NBA Finals, how Wemby got there this early in his career, Chet’s disastrous series, and why OKC is probably still fine long term. Then, Austin Rivers stops by with more on Game 7, why the NBA Cup matchup isn’t relevant to the Finals, and whether Jalen Brunson is the player he trusts most in the NBA right now. Finally, Ceruti joins for a quick recap of the Champions League final before Kyle hops in for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including getting a puppy from your mom and receiving a wedding invitation from someone you're not really friends with.
