Jalen Brunson vs Damian Lillard, Is the Warriors' Dynasty Over and Did Duke Cheat?
My guy Justin Jackson joins today and be ready because you are going to be seeing a lot more of him going forward. We have seen some ridiculous individual performances recently with guys like Doncic and Embiid both dropping 70 points. Will any of these guys ever crack 100 points because it’s starting to feel like it might be possible. Also, the starters for the NBA All-Star game just dropped, but is Jalen Brunson more deserving of a starting role over Damian Lillard? Finally, we never thought we’d have to say it but the Warriors’ dynasty looks like it might have come to end.

Who won the Pascal Siakam Trade, are the Knicks Contenders with Anunoby and Who’s the Future Face of the NBA?
We are back to talk recent trade news and what’s going on around the league. It actually happened…Pascal Siakam got moved to the Pacers. You already know that team was dangerous with the way Haliburton was hooping but to add another star like Siakam takes them to the next level. The Raptors have been making moves also trading Anunoby to the Knicks which looks like it has immediately paid off. Do the Knicks now have all the pieces they need to go on a run? Finally, if and when LeBron moves on from the NBA, who do you think will be the future face of the league?

Naz Reid | Anthony Edwards is a BEAST, Zion Williamson Came out of Nowhere and the Timberwolves are Building Something Special
Today I am joined by Timberwolves' big man Naz Reid. He might be listed as a big but I’m convinced that this guy is a guard by the way he handles the ball. This man has gotten better every year he has been in the league and has helped take this Timberwolves team to the next level. What was it like going undrafted and having to constantly grind for minutes and opportunities? How has his teammate Anthony Edwards not only evolved into one of the best players in the league but become a leader on the Timberwolves. We also talk about his hard fought matchups before he was even in the league against guys like Marvin Bagley and how Zion Williamson came out of nowhere in High School. Naz, is definitely a special player but let’s find out who bust his ass when he first got to the league.
