About this episode
The Athletic’s Joe Vardon tells guest host Kirk Morrison why Joel Embiid was his MVP choice over the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, why the 76ers should have sat Embiid in Game 2 vs the Celtics and why the Lakers should load manage LeBron in the Lakers’ Game 2 vs the Golden State Warriors, and how Mike Brown was able to lead the Sacramento Kings back to the playoffs this season after a 16-year drought.
