About this episode

J Dawg shares his experience during the Knicks championship celebration and discusses various sports topics including the NBA and UFC.

The Knicks ended a 53-year drought, and J Dawg was in the middle of Manhattan for the whole thing. This week we get the full story of championship night in New York, debate whether Wemby's meltdown was a bad look or exactly what the NBA needs, and dig into Fox's $22 billion play for Roku.
