Isaiah Thomas On Why Knicks vs. Spurs Is The Perfect NBA Finals

About this episode

Isaiah Thomas and C.J. Toledano discuss the NBA Finals matchup between the Spurs and Knicks, recap Game 7 of the playoffs, and engage in fun segments.

I.T. called the Spurs going all the way back in February, and he wasn't lying! And now, after a truly legendary playoffs, we're finally here: the NBA Finals! Before we look ahead, C.J. and I.T. take a second to break down the dramatic Spurs/OKC Game 7 from this past weekend, including some tough love for Chet Holmgren, some much-deserved praise for SGA both on and off the court, and nothing but love for the incredible role players on both squads for stepping up throughout the series. Next, C.J. and I.T. look ahead to the Finals. A 1999 rematch, an NBA Cup rematch, and the biggest stage possible to launch Wemby into superstardom. Will the Spurs begin their dynasty? Or will Brunson break the curse and become the greatest Knick of all time? Like every episode, we end with some quick games: I.T. redrafts the 2011 draft class with 15 years of hindsight and ranks the top 5 all-time signature shoe lines. And to round things out, this week's No Days Off award goes to none other than Julian Champagnie, who put on an insane 3-point clinic in Game 7.  Have a question for I.T.?
