About this episode

Bomani Jones and Tom Haberstroh discuss the ongoing drama with Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, the Spurs' rise in the NBA, and UNC's hiring of Mike Malone.

Bomani Jones is joined by Tom Haberstroh to break down the chaos surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo, Doc Rivers, and the Milwaukee Bucks. They dig into whether Giannis really wants out, why the Bucks’ situation feels so broken, and what a trade could mean for the rest of the league. Then they shift to the Western Conference, the rise of Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, and whether the NBA is heading back toward an era defined by rivalries instead of parity. They close by breaking down UNC hiring Mike Malone and whether it is the start of a paradigm shift in college basketball. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
