The top NBA MVP candidates might be ineligible due to the 65-game rule

There's a good chance that like the top two guys or the top three guys aren't eligible. Yeah, we're on games missed watch. For like what Shai, Wemby and Jokic, right?

All three named players (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić) were the 2025-26 MVP finalists, with Shai winning his second straight MVP. The 65-game rule ended up affecting Luka Dončić and Cade Cunningham (who received exceptions but did not make the finalist cut), not the top three.

Maxx Crosby to the Ravens is a great move that makes their defense scary

Congrats to the Ravens. Congrats to Jesse Minter. This is a good, a great move. Their defense is gonna be scary. I love the transition from Maxx Crosby was always meant to be playing in a badass uniform. Raiders to Ravens, it's like, okay.

The Crosby-to-Ravens trade was real when this episode aired, and the defensive fit was sound. However, the trade was rescinded days later due to a failed physical.

The Ravens are abandoning their draft-and-develop philosophy because they've drafted poorly lately

The Ravens feel like the team for however long, I mean, pretty much their entire history, it's like what they do is they draft really well. They don't have to do these type of moves. And then they do this move... maybe the Ravens haven't drafted as well recently. So now they do have to join everyone else and be these guys.

The Ravens have a three-to-four-year window with Lamar Jackson to go all in and win a Super Bowl

Are the Ravens basically saying Lamar Jackson, he's 29, he's got, we got like a three, four year window where we're gonna have to go all in here? You're kind of forking the road. Are you trying to keep your draft capital to keep reloading around Lamar Jackson? You're like, 'Hey, let's go win this right now.'

The Ravens' success in this window depends on winning a Super Bowl before Lamar Jackson hits his 30s.

Victor Wembanyama needs to gain 60 pounds at Golden Corral to succeed next season

Mitchell Robinson on that free throw. It was just, just manhandling [Wembanyama]. Wemby's gonna come back next year. Hey Wemby, don't, don't go to a monastery. Maybe this obviously just go hang out at like a Golden Corral. Yeah. Put on like 60 pounds, because Mitchell Robinson just ate him up.

Wembanyama's weight and frame are recurring topics. This is a comedic recommendation.

New York City should put a 200-foot Jalen Brunson jersey on the Statue of Liberty

I think, you know, there's all the, all the statue talk is going on right now. We're jumping to the statue. Do we want the Jalen Brunson statue? Do we want the entire starting five statue? Who do we want on the statue? My idea was New York should just make a giant Jalen Brunson jersey. Like I'm talking 200 feet. And put it on the Statue of Liberty. Hang it from her. And then replace the torch with the basketball.

Subjective opinion on how to honor Brunson.

Jalen Brunson is objectively a better New York Knick than Patrick Ewing because he won a title

[Rick Brunson saying Patrick Ewing is the best Nick] is not true. It's just objectively not true right now. 'cause Jalen Brunson won a title.
