On this episode of Soapbox Sports, Brian and Lucky bring the heat across the NBA and NFL with real takes and bold debates.

The show opens with a breakdown of the Lakers’ loss to Boston and what it says about their true ceiling. Is this version of the Lakers built for a deep run, or are they capped out? The guys also react to LeBron reaching another scoring milestone and debate whether Jaylen Brown has officially entered the MVP conversation — is it his award to lose?

The conversation shifts to Karl-Anthony Towns after his public back-and-forth with Shaq. Does KAT get too much hate? And if he’s fully engaged, how dangerous can the Knicks become?

Houston’s late-game collapse sparks a serious question: can the Rockets still be trusted as contenders? Meanwhile, the Pistons are heating up — can they actually go all the way? And is Cade Cunningham positioning himself as the next face of the NBA?

Plus, the guys salute USA Hockey with historic gold medal wins for both the women’s and men’s teams.

On the NFL side, they dive into free agency, breaking down the biggest available names at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end — including Malik Willis, Daniel Jones, Kenneth Walker, Mike Evans, Kyle Pitts, and more — and where they fit best.

To close, it’s Over/Under season. The crew debates which teams will clear 10.5 wins, including the Ravens, Bills, Lions, Packers, Chiefs, Rams, Eagles, and Seahawks.

Bold opinions. No fence-sitting. Step on the soapbox.
