It's Friday, which means Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are back to clear the table on everything that didn't make it into Tuesday's show. Episode 138 of the Shoot Around goes hard on KD's revisionist history, the top NBA salaries heading into next season, and a rapid-fire rumor mill that covers LeBron, Ja Morant, the Knicks' title defense, and what San Antonio needs to stay dangerous. First up: Kevin Durant went on a Barstool podcast this week and tried to explain why he left OKC for Golden State back in 2016 — claiming the Warriors were basically underdogs when he showed up. The guys are not buying it. At all. Rob runs through the receipts: 73-9, the 67-win season before that, the title, the back-to-back three-point records. Big Shot Bob's verdict? KD just be talking. Then it's a quick trivia spin on the top 10 NBA salaries going into next year. Steph Curry sits at number one at $62.5 million — at 38 years old. The guys try to fill in the rest of the list: Jokic, Tatum, AD, Giannis, Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, KAT, and Jimmy Butler round it out. Luka, for the record, is not on it. From there it's rumor mill time. Is Ja Morant actually movable, or does that $42 million contract scare everyone off? How long before LeBron makes a call — and does he go back to the Lakers, consider Cleveland, or is there an outside shot he links up with Giannis in Miami? The Knicks just won a title but James Dolan's already drawing a line at the second apron, which means Clarkson, Robinson, and Shamet are probably all walking. And San Antonio: what exactly do the Spurs spend their $44 million in cap space on to get back to where they were in the Finals? Harp floats Dwight Howard as a San Antonio option. Rob closes his laptop. The show pretty much ends itself from there. New episodes of the Shoot Around drop every Friday.

Brodes hosted on WIP Wednesday Night talking all things Sixers as they fire Daryl Morey. Why Is It NOT Exciting though?
Ken and Lima kick off with a genuinely fascinating hypothetical: what does Ryan Day do when his son, who just committed to Northwestern, potentially lines up against Ohio State as a starting quarterback, forcing Ryan Day to gameplan against his own kid? The real meat of the segment though is Ken's argument that this Cavs-Pistons series has not risen to the level of a true rivalry, and that the bigger story is how Cavs fans are more worried about Cleveland beating themselves than they are about anything Detroit can do. Ken makes a compelling case that tonight is as close to a legacy-defining moment as Donovan Mitchell has ever faced, pointing out that with Embiid done, Harden diminished, and OKC full of untouchable young stars, Mitchell is the one national media will zero in on if the Cavs flame out. The bottom line is simple: if the Cavs win tonight, Ken believes the series is over, and if they lose, the questions about blowing this whole thing up will only get louder.

Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are joined by Ian Begley for a spirited breakdown of the Knicks injury picture, from OG Anunoby's uncertain availability to Josh Hart, Mitchell Robinson, and Joel Embiid's status. What starts as a playoff update quickly turns into a lively debate over sourcing, injury reporting, and how much optimism Knicks fans should really trust. Begley explains why he would be surprised to see OG play immediately but not shocked if he returns soon, while Evan pushes back with his own theory about gamesmanship and postseason strategy. The conversation also covers Mike Brown's playoff adjustments, the feel around the Knicks locker room, Brooklyn's NBA Draft Lottery hopes, Vince Carter representing the Nets, and a nearby fire that briefly made MetLife Stadium look like it was burning.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dive into the biggest questions surrounding Knicks versus Sixers, starting with OG Anunoby's hamstring uncertainty and whether the Knicks are wisely keeping Philadelphia guessing. With Joel Embiid's status also in doubt, the conversation turns to playoff gamesmanship, injury risk, and the possibility of Knicks fans taking over Philadelphia. The guys also react to Jasson Domínguez's scary injury after a tremendous catch at Yankee Stadium, what it means for Spencer Jones getting called up, and whether Brian Cashman deserves credit for how the Yankees are handling young talent. Plus, they debate Yankee Stadium safety, Knicks fan travel plans, and painful New York sports memories tied to beloved and infamous figures.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the uncertainty surrounding OG Anunoby's hamstring and whether the Knicks should risk bringing him back against the Sixers. With Joel Embiid's own status in question, the conversation turns to playoff injury gamesmanship, lineup strategy, and how much of Madison Square Garden's optimism should actually be believed. The guys also react to the possibility of Knicks fans taking over Philadelphia before shifting to the Yankees, where Jasson Domínguez's scary injury after a brilliant catch creates a difficult new twist. Spencer Jones now gets his shot, but the question becomes whether Domínguez could lose his opportunity through no fault of his own.
First Take begins with another Knicks win! The Positive: New York's finest are two games away from another Conference Finals. Negative: OG may be hurt. Could the Knicks still advance without him? (0:00) Then, the Spurs showed their championship potential in a thumping of the Wolves! Who has the edge now in this battle of young stars? (25:20) Next, another Jaylen Brown livestream!

The Knicks' Game 2 win still has New York buzzing, but the conversation shifts from the scoreboard to the ripple effects around it. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to the growing concern over OG Anunoby's status, the debate around whether the Knicks are giving enough injury information, and why his history makes fans nervous even after an encouraging win. Evan and Tiki also revisit the reaction to Tiki's fiery Joel Embiid comment, including how Philadelphia radio responded after Embiid missed Game 2. Plus, they check their own predictions from the night before, spotlight how close Evan came to calling the final score, and briefly touch on the Yankees' loss as the night's playoff drama gives way to a busy New York sports morning.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber kick things off with a ridiculous new song inspired by Tiki's feud with Philadelphia and his blunt criticism of Joel Embiid. What started as a playoff comment turns into a full blown Philly meltdown, with Evan proudly unveiling a diss track that captures the chaos between New York and Philadelphia sports fans. The conversation then shifts to the Yankees, where a day game lineup sparks immediate concern. With Paul Blackburn making the start, Aaron Judge at DH, key bats resting or banged up, and Jason Dominguez needing to keep earning trust in the outfield, Evan and Tiki debate how much one May game should matter when every win could loom large later.
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber close the conversation by digging into the uncomfortable truth of sports fandom after a caller asks whether hoping for bad injury news crosses the line. The debate centers on OG Anunoby's status, Knicks title hopes, and whether fans are honest about wanting the easiest possible road to a championship. The guys also break down why Joel Embiid's absence can both help and hurt Philadelphia, how the Sixers might best manage his minutes, and why the Knicks may have to overcome a major injury scare if they want to chase a title. From fan morality to playoff matchups and New York's growing anxiety, it is a sharp look at the tension surrounding postseason basketball.

Bomani and Vinny Goodwill unpack an NBA postseason that makes no sense in the best way. Bomani Jones is joined by ESPN's Vinnie Goodwill to talk through why this Knicks team has no excuse not to make the NBA Finals, the delicate balance between Jalen Brunson's usage and unlocking Karl-Anthony Towns, and whether Boston's ceiling is lower than people want to admit with this version of Jason Tatum coming off the Achilles injury. From there, they dive into Victor Wembanyama's terrifying playoff debut, why the Spurs already look ahead of schedule, and how Oklahoma City vs. San Antonio feels like a looming Western Conference war. They also hit LeBron, KD, and the aging superstar class who can still hit the “high notes” for one night even if they can't live there anymore. Later, Bomani and Vinnie break down Adam Silver's new anti‑tanking lottery rules, what it means for franchises like Detroit and Orlando, and why conditioning young stars to lose might be the most underrated failure of “The Process” era in Philly. Plus, what the league should actually be embarrassed by, and why Steve Ballmer's Kawhi situation is way more complicated than internet outrage allows. Learn more about your ad choices.
