In this episode, we break down Patrick Mahomes’ legacy after a shocking season that ends without a playoff appearance. Does missing the postseason change how we view Mahomes all-time, or is his résumé already untouchable?

We also dive into Jalen Hurts and his recent struggles. Is this just a rough stretch, or are there deeper concerns with how fans and analysts should evaluate him moving forward?

On the NBA side, we tackle one of the biggest questions in basketball: Should LeBron James retire after this season? We discuss his legacy, longevity, and what the end of the LeBron era could really look like.

Plus, things got very interesting when Kevin Durant responded to one of our Instagram Reels — and we give our full reaction and response to KD’s comments 👀🔥.

This episode is packed with NFL debates, NBA legacy talk, hot takes, and real conversations you won’t get anywhere else.

In this episode of The Basement Boyz, we dive deep into one of the hottest debates in the NFL: Who is REALLY to blame for the Philadelphia Eagles’ recent struggles? Is it Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni, the offense, the defense, or something bigger inside the organization? We break down every angle.

We also make our official Super Bowl matchup predictions and explain why certain AFC and NFC teams are separating themselves from the pack.

Switching to the NBA, we look at what Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s legacy would become if OKC breaks the Golden State Warriors’ historic 73-9 record. Would SGA instantly become an all-time great? How does this change the point guard hierarchy?

To close the show, we debate the best landing spot for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he ever decided to leave Milwaukee. Which team gives him the best chance to win long-term?

If you love NFL and NBA debates, hot takes, and real sports talk, you’re in the right place.

They debate how good Austin Reaves actually is, go head-to-head on Cade Cunningham vs Anthony Edwards, and ask where prime Kevin Durant would rank in today's NBA. Then the big one: A Chiefs miss the playoffs? They break down Mahomes, the offense, and the AFC picture. Plus hot takes on Drew Brees being overrated and whether the Bills need a new head coach to save Josh Allen's prime.

On the NBA side — could SGA, Steph, or 40-year-old LeBron drag the league's worst teams to the playoffs?
