Ben Golliver and Michael Pina recap the exciting end to the conference finals and preview the upcoming NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. Did LeBron James reclaim his spot as basketball's best player with his Game 5 takeover? Did he really beat the Nuggets with his mind? Will the Lakers have the same advantages against Miami that they had against Denver? Then, Ben and Michael shift gears to analyze how the Heat won the East and what went wrong for the Boston Celtics . Was this the first major loss of Brad Stevens's career? Why did Jayson Tatum struggle so much to impact late-game situations? Where will the Celtics' expectations be set for next year? How did Bam Adebayo so thoroughly eviscerate Boston? Who else can do what Adebayo did in the fourth quarter and is he the ideal match-up for Anthony Davis? Do the underdog Heat have a chance to pull the upset on the Lakers? Will Michael really pick against LeBron James four series in a row?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

For well over 2 years, I believe I have done only one or two Encore Episodes. Creating and delivering two episodes per week, every week, is challenging, But there is a lot to share with you; part of me wishes that I could do more. But it is time for a creative rest--with family. Last Tuesday and today I am sharing well-selected Encore Episodes. This episode was selected because I believe it does a fun job of showing how--and why--selecting sports teams to follow and root for must be a very different process than choosing and committing to more consequential beliefs, e.g., politics and finance. Introduction My step-father, Charles J. “Chuck” Warner, bought two season tickets to the Broncos in 1960, the first season of the old American Football League. The family shares those tickets to this day; I am a dyed-in-the-wool Broncos Fanatic. When it comes to more substantive issues, e.g., political, religious and economic beliefs, I take a far more studied approach. And I adapt and change as new and better data are available, and as my thinking advances. Not so with my Broncos; I am a fan(atic), loud, opinionated, and unchanging in my loyalty. My devotion to the team was an accident of history, and does not need to be earned through performance or results. Now, isn’t how I became a forever Broncos fan exactly the way so many people come by and defend their beliefs in areas that actually matter, like politics, economics and religion? That is the subject of today’s 10-minute episode.  Continuing In the early days, the Denver Broncos were a lousy team, with underfunded ownership, shaky management, and an uninspiring roster of players and coaches. They played in a Triple A baseball stadium, home of the Denver Bears. Other teams, notably the Oakland Raiders, beat them like a drum. And I, along with much of Colorado and surrounding states, embraced them with a fervor that would rival that of the fans of a Super Bowl team.  Our loyalty, devotion and enthusiasm was not something that needed to be earned through excellence on the field. Like family, we loved them because, well, the Broncos were family. Had to start a running back for a game as the QB? No problem, Go Broncos! Went 3-11 one year, with no real prospects for a big improvement the next year? No problem, Go Broncos! Sold only 2.5K season tickets for the first year? No problem, Go Broncos! When Hall of Famer Floyd Little, star running back at Syracuse, was drafted number 6 overall by the Denver Broncos in 1967, he asked, “Denver? Where is Denver?” Then #44 put Denver on the map. When the Broncos traded with the Colts for John Elway, the number 1 overall pick in 1983, the seeds of a championship team were sown. More seeds were sown when Pat Bowlen bought the team in 1984.  In 1977, Denver went to it’s first Super Bowl; this one against the Cowboys. Craig Morton, the Cowboys hand-me-down QB, led the Broncos against the Dallas team piloted by the legendary Roger Staubach. I sat with a group of fellow Broncos fans watching the game at the Harvest House in Boulder, Colorado. In a game that was not as close as the score, the Broncos lost 27-10. No problem, at least we beat the hated Raiders to get to the Bowl. Go Broncos! After graduating from Harvard B-School, I went to Silicon Valley for 30 years before returning to Colorado. I paid for the NFL Sunday Ticket all those years so I could get all of the Broncos games. I would fly to Denver with my sons, Billy and Sean, and my friend Robert, to take in games in person. Now that I am back in Colorado, my youngest, Joshua, and I would take in 3-4 games each season. One time, I got to be at Mile High Stadium with two sons and a grandson. Those many games created some of the best times of my life. This is quite the opposite of how I deal with topics like politics, religion and economics. I am constantly doing deep dives into what I think that I think I think. I completely buy into Socrates when he says,

Adam Mares, Harrison Wind, Brendan Vogt address the protests in Denver over the last several days before turning their attention to Jerami Grant's comments about his contract and potentially declining his player option for next season. What would it mean for the Nuggets if they lost Grant and is he likely to return to Denver? Then, the guys debate the coolest players in the NBA both past and present, and two DNVR members tag team The Steps where there are new prizes up for grabs.

I am constantly doing deep dives into what I think that I think I think. I completely buy into Socrates when he says, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” And I would add that life and thinking need to be constantly reexamined. Like showers, examination needs to be done repeatedly, or things begin to stink.  And... And going to the same, friendly sources over and over again does not come close to examining anything. Let’s try an example here. Say you have lost your smartphone. You have looked carefully in all the usual places, but no joy. Does it make any sense to keep looking and relooking in just those places? If you do, are you being at all rational in expecting to find something that was not there...
