Point Game with Isaiah Thomas and C.J. Toledano

For our season finale, we wanted to turn to you, our amazing listeners, for some insightful questions for IT. Who are some of the best coaches IT has worked with and what did he learn from them? How did he figure out how to score at the rim on bigger defenders? How did his mentality change over time as he moved up the ranks? Who are the most intense trash-talkers on the court? IT digs into all of these questions and more, exploring the core childhood memories that made him who he is today. It's been an amazing season, and we want to thank our fans again for tuning in! We can't wait to dig back into all things basketball in the fall.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The NBA Finals concluded in historic fashion with the New York Knicks winning their first championship since 1973. The guys have to give credit where credit's due to these Knicks, but the unprecedented amount of blown double-digit leads by the Spurs was insane to witness. I.T. breaks down why this may have happened, and what the Spurs can do to get better next season. I.T. and C.J. also take a minute to look ahead – Summer League will be an amazing opportunity for I.T. to work out with and watch some rising talent. And the guys can't help but speculate on a few key star players' next moves in free agency: where will Giannis, Ja, and LeBron end up? I.T. has a couple of hot takes for good measure.  Have a question for I.T.?

Jamal Crawford joins Point Game this week to share stories from his decades-long friendship with Isaiah Thomas — from early battles and shared respect to the moments that built a lifelong bond. Few players have seen as much basketball as Jamal, and he brings that perspective to a conversation that blends hoops history with real-life growth. Now former pros coaching their own kids, Jamal, CJ, and IT get candid about the realities of youth sports. They talk about navigating competitive environments, balancing encouragement with accountability, and how parents can support without overstepping. It’s honest insight from guys who’ve lived it at every level. With the All-Star break providing a natural pause, the crew also takes stock of the NBA season so far. They break down first-half surprises — including how the Celtics have managed to stay dominant even without Jayson Tatum — and look ahead to what’s coming after the break. And yes, there are bold predictions… including a case for the Spurs making a serious run.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Point Game, Isaiah Thomas & C.J. Toledano tap into the latest updates on the Ja Morant, Anthony Davis, and Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors and how their injuries factor into the equation. IT takes a moment to talk about the true difficulties of getting traded, especially mid-season. Then we take a trip down memory lane in the wake of Derrick Rose's jersey retirement in Chicago this past weekend: from battling in the early 2010's during his unbelievable prime to becoming friends during their season together on the Cavs. We also discuss KD's habit of talking back to aggressive fans, how Luka took care of his loyal fans in Dallas – and almost went into the Mavs locker room at half time – and close out with a quick chat about Jordan brand retiring the Zion signature shoe. Enjoying the show?
