It is officially FOOTBALL SEASON, but the NBA Finals just delivered absolute madness in Game 1! 🏀🏈

In this episode, Doc, Diebo, and Matches break down the massive blockbuster trade sending Myles Garrett to the LA Rams. Is Garrett actually FASTER and BETTER than the legendary Aaron Donald, or are people completely disrespecting a multi-time Defensive Player of the Year who routinely ate triple-teams for breakfast? Plus, we shine a light on why everyone is sleeping on Byron Young’s impact next to Garrett.

Over on the hardwood, the New York Knicks just stole Game 1 of the NBA Finals and officially exposed the "Alien" kryptonite. We dive deep into how KAT and the Knicks neutralized Victor Wembanyama, whether the 22-year-old superstar let the bright lights get too big, and why coaching errors doomed San Antonio down the stretch. Doc also goes off on the sudden wave of Amazon-delivery bandwagon Knicks fans taking over Southern California!
