This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Gary Washburn, NBA columnist for The Boston Globe. Did this year's NBA Finals redefine the futures of two former Kentucky Wildcats? Washburn makes the case that Karl-Anthony Towns has altered his career narrative for the better by helping the New York Knicks win their first NBA title since 1973 — and that it happened because he no longer was being asked to carry the team. Conversely, San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox’s disappointing Finals performance, specifically in Games 4 and 5, may hint that he no longer has a secure role with the team going forward, Washburn says. Washburn also previews Louisville guard Mikel Brown Jr.'s presumed selection in the top 10 of the 2026 NBA Draft, while pointing out he still could end up just about anywhere because so many teams are potentially trading picks. Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.

Beetle says that the Celtics pitch is strong for Giannis and Jayson Tatum should be involved.(26:05) Beetle says the Celtics would be cheaping out if they move Brown for anything other than Giannis.
