About this episode

KG and Paul discuss SGA's achievement, MVP candidates, and playoff strategies in the NBA.

SGA just joined Michael Jordan in an exclusive club: four straight seasons averaging 30 points per game. Nobody else in NBA history has done it. KG and Paul break down why his throwback mid-range game mixed with today’s three-point era makes him virtually unstoppable, and debate whether he’s locked in for back-to-back MVP. The conversation heats up when the guys clash over All-NBA First Team selections. Paul goes to bat for Jaylen Brown, who’s carrying a Celtics team that lost four of its top six players and is STILL a top-two seed. KG pushes back with Luka’s 33-8-8 line and the Mavs’ rise. Plus: Tatum’s Achilles return and what it means for Boston’s playoff run, the Lakers’ best path to avoid Denver in the first round, why the Hawks and Jalen Johnson are the sleeper nobody wants to face, and who KG & Paul would take with the #1 pick in this year’s draft.
