This week the guys check in on the NBA playoff race as the standings continue to tighten across both conferences, with seeding still up in the air and the play-in picture wide open.
They also discuss Mac McClung becoming the G-League’s all-time leading scorer, and what that level of production really means when it comes to earning a consistent NBA role.
In music, the focus turns to Jay-Z’s rare GQ interview, where he reflects on 30 years of Reasonable Doubt and shares his thoughts on the current state of hip-hop. The guys react to his comments on Kendrick Lamar and Drake, including his take that battling may not need to be part of the culture anymore.
