Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”

They start with the Lakers & the red hot play of Luka Doncic and debate whether the Lakers high powered offense can overcome their deficiencies on defense in the playoffs (4:00). Colin argues that under JJ Reddick, the Lakers now play in a highly motivated and intentional way and compliment Luka & LeBron (11:30), and Jason believes that LeBron has been uniquely focused in pursuit of a fifth ring (17:00).

They discuss Kevin Durant’s comment that “MJ is bigger than basketball” and compare Michael Jordan’s legacy to LeBron’s (24:00).

They pivot to Giannis and debate whether his hyperathletic style of play will age well, and what his value should be in a trade considering his age and injury history (32:30).

They switch gears to college basketball and discuss where Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. will land in the draft as one of the most well-rounded guard prospects in years (43:00).

Finally, they discuss how NIL has shifted the balance of power in college hoops ever further in favor of the blue blood programs and why we are seeing less double digit seeds pulling off upsets (51:15), and debate whether Gonzaga should move on from Mark Few after being upset by Texas in the tournament (57:30).

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, Colin’s joined by '3 & Out' host John Middlekauff to react to all the NFL Free Agency moves.

They start with the Dolphins signing Malik Willis and give their takes on if they like the move for Miami (3:30). Next they discuss Mike Evans leaving the Bucs for the San Francisco 49ers (7:00), Tyler Linderbaum leaving Ravens for Las Vegas Raiders (9:00) and Cowboys trading for Rashan Gary (12:15). Finally, they discuss the Chiefs adding Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, how does that impact Patrick Mahomes & Travis Kelce (15:15)?

Then, Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

Colin kicks it off with Bam Adebayo’s historical 83 point game for the Heat, and Colin argues that the fan blowback wouldn’t be nearly as pronounced if he was more of a flashy type of star player, but Danny argues HOW Bam got the record matters and how he got it didn’t sit right because the game stopped becoming basketball to get him extra chances (24:30).

They dive into how LeBron has been typecast as the guy that makes everything work regardless of his teammates… until now that he’s playing with Luka Doncic and they don’t gel (32:15).

Finally, they discuss the Bears 9.5 win total and whether taking the over is easy money (39:00) .
