SGA Is a Legit MVP Candidate and Joel Embiid Greatness Fatigue

Austin and Pausha start the show by talking through Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s growing case to win MVP (8:30), as well as the Joel Embiid greatness fatigue that’s seemingly developing in NBA discourse. Next, they discuss the massive scoring nights from Jalen Brunson and Keegan Murray and Austin describes what it’s like to be the guy guarding players who go off like that (14:00). The guys wrap things up by examining Lauri Markkanen showing back up in trade rumors, the toll the Pistons’ losing streak is taking on the players, and how much longer Stephen Curry can maintain his current level of greatness.
