Rushmore players, we decide to do something that's never been done in sports media... talk about LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan, Tim talks about his personal experience playing against Jordan, the guys move on to talk about The New York Knicks vs. The Miami Heat and how it's tough to get a good handle on this series given how many pieces have been missing thus far, they talk about the awesome play of Mitchell Robinson and how Coach Spo has implemented his zone defense so effectively, reacting to Joel Embiid winning MVP and why it was his time to win it, Tim and JJ debate who is up next to win MVP between Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, Devin Booker and more, the guys move on to The Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns series, Legler talks about why Kevin Durant has to be the best player on the floor in order to win Game 3, what Chris Paul's injury means for Devin Booker and the rest of the team, how Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and The Nuggets have defended the Suns and cemented themselves as the Finals favorites (at least for now), a brief discussion about match-up hunting and why The Boston Celtics rely on it a little too much during the ends of games and so much more.
