Episode notes
Postseason Will Decide Who's Best In The World
- The NBA best-player debate is fluid and will be decided more by postseason hardware than regular-season narratives.
- Nick Wright argues Nikola Jokic currently leads, but a Finals run by Shai, Luka, or Wembanyama would likely shift public consensus.

- Wembanyama's defensive dominance is unprecedented but his offensive output hasn't yet matched other top scorers.
- Wright ranks Wembanyama below Shea, Jokic, Luka and several established scorers offensively despite elite defense.
