Episode 39 of In My Defense is all about the Finals.

Canty & Que react to the New York Knicks' dramatic Game 1 comeback victory over the San Antonio Spurs, powered by Jalen Brunson's late-game heroics and Karl-Anthony Towns' dominant two-way performance. The guys discuss whether New York is truly built to win a championship and what adjustments San Antonio must make before Game 2.

Then they shift to the NFL, where June 1st delivered multiple blockbuster moves around the league.

Topics include:

• Myles Garrett traded to the Rams for Jared Verse and draft picks
• Why Cleveland may have quietly won the trade
• AJ Brown's move to New England and what it means for Drake Maye
• Can Mike Vrabel turn the Patriots into contenders immediately?
• Odell Beckham Jr. returns to the New York Giants
• The impact OBJ could have on a young Giants locker room
• Rams Super Bowl contender or overhyped "Dream Team"?
• Why Canty believes the Rams could miss the playoffs entirely

For 99 Problems, the guys rank some of the biggest superstar trades in sports history.

Plus Wins & Losses:

• Chet Holmgren's disappointing Western Conference Finals performance
• Abdul Carter is standing on principle and leadership in New York
• Que celebrates 10 years of marriage

Nothing's personal… but In My Defense.
