About this episode

The episode ranks the top 10 offenses in NBA history while discussing notable exclusions and player contributions.

The nerds rank the Top 10 offenses in NBA history, but only after discussing the toughest cuts for the better part of an hour. They debate whether Dirk Nowitzki's Mavericks and Larry Bird's Celtics belong on the list, disagree over if LeBron James led his best offense in Miami or Cleveland and discuss whether Steve Nash, Steph Curry, Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson led the greatest offense ever.
