Quand une équipe mène en Finales NBA, on a souvent tendance à croire que le plus dur est fait. Pourtant, l'histoire de la ligue regorge de séries qui ont complètement basculé. Impossible de ne pas penser aux Miami Heat de 2006. Menés 0-2 face aux Dallas Mavericks, ils avaient trouvé leur sauveur en Dwyane Wade, auteur d'une des performances les plus iconiques de l'histoire des Finales avec quatre victoires consécutives pour offrir le premier titre à Miami. Et évidemment, il y a le monument absolu : les Cleveland Cavaliers de 2016. Menés 3-1 contre les Golden State Warriors à 73 victoires, LeBron James avait réalisé l'impossible pour offrir à Cleveland le premier titre de son histoire. Alors que les Spurs viennent de revenir à 2-1 face aux Knicks, Basket Time replonge dans ces remontées qui ont transformé des stars en légendes. Quelle est la plus grande remontada de l'histoire des Finales NBA ? Et les Spurs peuvent-ils écrire leur propre histoire ?

With the Knicks on the verge of sweeping the Spurs in the NBA Finals, Ken and Anthony debate whether watching New York win a championship with Karl-Anthony Towns should make the Cavs more aggressive in pursuing a blockbuster trade this offseason. Ken makes the case that the Cavs cannot realistically compete for a title with Donovan Mitchell as their best player, and that leaning on Evan Mobley as the franchise cornerstone is a gamble with no guarantee of a payoff. The guys also wrestle with the uncomfortable reality that the same people who said Carl-Anthony Towns could never win are now watching him potentially take home Finals MVP, which makes it harder to be definitive about any player's ceiling.
Ken doubles down hard on his stance against the Browns pursuing Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft, arguing Cleveland has been the NFL's canary in the coal mine too many times already and doesn't need to be the guinea pig for a quarterback with a gambling history. The guys also pivot to the NBA Finals, where former Cavs coach Mike Brown has the New York Knicks one win away from a championship. Ken says Brown deserves way more credit than he gets, having spent years being dismissed as someone who just rode LeBron and the Warriors' coattails.

The hosts of 92.3 The Fan continue their postmortem of the 2025-26 Cavaliers, and look ahead to an intriguing offseason in which major roster decisions will have to be made. One important talking point is whether Donovan Mitchell is worthy of the type of mega-extension he will command. Can Mitchell and Evan Mobley succeed alongside each other? And if Giannis Antetokounmpo is available via trade, would you surrender Mobley to get him? All that and more!

Callers are making a compelling case that Evan Mobley has been quietly stunted his entire career in Cleveland, never getting the chance to be the man because the team has been too good and too Donovan-centric from day one. Ken and Lima dig into whether the Cavs have been confusing Mobley for years by asking him to be something he is not, and whether he would explode into a superstar the second he lands somewhere that actually builds around him. Meanwhile, a potential MLB lockout is forcing Ken to do something he never thought he would do, which is root for the billionaire owners, because a salary floor might be exactly what keeps the Guardians young core together.
NBA analyst Nate Duncan drops a brutal take on Donovan Mitchell, saying his potential $277 million extension could instantly become one of the worst contracts in the league and that he simply was not good enough in the playoffs. Ken and Lima wrestle with the uncomfortable reality that watching Jalen Brunson will a team to an NBA Finals victory is making a lot of Cavs fans ask whether they have been betting on the wrong guy all along. The question is no longer just about trading Evan Mobley, it is about whether Cleveland needs to rethink everything before writing that massive check.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze the fallout from the Browns trading Myles Garrett, debating whether Jared Verse provides the leadership the former star lacked.
