Austin and Pausha talk through LeBron’s recent comments about being the “face of the league” and discuss the responsibilities and consequences involved (16:21). Then, they reflect on what it was like to be in the building for Steph’s insane performance in Orlando against the Magic (29:14), before hitting on both the Warriors’ apparent revitalized season with Jimmy and the Lakers’ with Luka.

Later, they discuss which matchup they’d like to see in the Finals (32:42), and how disappointing the Suns have been this season (38:18), before Austin shares his recent pet peeve with a conversation about the media’s pressure on the league and its players (52:56)!
