Who is the GOAT of basketball? One of the evergreen sports debates that will rage on into eternity. However, with the tragic death of the Black Mamba himself, Kobe Bryant's legacy seems to be overshadowing LeBron James'. Jason, joined by basketball analytics YouTuber Skap Attack, discusses whether Kobe Bryant was a better basketball player than LeBron. What is valued more: MVPs, championships, or team success? Are there any blemishes on their careers? In other news, the NFL draft is almost a month away, and Steve Kim and Jason talk about rising and falling draft stock. Shedeur Sanders' stock seems to be in a free fall. Many question whether he has what it takes to be a locker-room leader in the NFL. A recent interview with executive producer/NFL analyst Greg Cosell explains that there are some other QBs in this draft class who are worth taking a closer look. Does the NFL have a diversity problem? Jarrett Allen thinks it does. He alleges that there aren't enough black coordinators and therefore not enough black coaches. Matthew Stafford trade rumors? Will the NFL try to replace tackle football with flag football in the future? A lot of questions and a lot of answers. A jam-packed sports show you don't want to miss.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Tuesday February 3rd. The guys also give out best bets. Key Trades and Reactions 1. Lakers-Mavericks Blockbuster Trade (5:10 - 13:22) Trade Details: Lakers send Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick to the Mavericks. Lakers receive Luka Dončić, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris. Immediate Reactions: Rivers was shocked, comparing it to waking up in a new reality. Luka's potential as a top-30 player all-time makes the trade stunning. Why would Dallas trade Luka? Concerns over his health and conditioning. His commitment to the game was questioned by the Mavericks' front office. Lakers' Perspective: Luka learns from LeBron's longevity and conditioning regimen. Lakers' future is now built around Luka as the post-LeBron centerpiece. Mavericks' Outlook: Can Anthony Davis stay healthy? The odds shifted after the trade: Lakers went from 40-1 to 20-1 to win the championship. Mavericks dropped from 20-1 to 40-1. 2. Jimmy Butler to the Warriors (16:18 - 20:52) Trade Details: Golden State acquires Jimmy Butler from Miami in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Warriors also add a shooter from another team. Analysis: Jimmy Butler extends with Golden State for two years, $121M. The window for the Warriors is closing, but this move might extend it. Rivers isn't fully convinced: Warriors needed a Kevin Durant-level addition, not just Butler. Draymond Green is holding the team back. This trade makes them a playoff team but not a title contender. 3. Cavaliers Acquire De'Andre Hunter (22:24 - 23:42) Trade Details: Cleveland Cavaliers acquire De'Andre Hunter from the Hawks. Why This Matters: Hunter fits perfectly as a 3-and-D player. Cavs now have a strong starting five: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Hunter, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. Comparison made to the Denver Nuggets' balanced championship lineup. 4. Bucks Swap Middleton for Kuzma (23:42 - 24:21) Trade Details: Bucks trade Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma. Analysis: Rivers isn't a fan of Kuzma. Bucks might have just made the move to cut salary and stay under the luxury tax. With Giannis now injured, the Bucks' short-term outlook is uncertain. Tuesday's Betting Insights & Game Analysis 1. Raptors vs. 76ers (-7) (25:41 - 31:18) Key Points: Joel Embiid is questionable but likely to play. Sixers' defense has been atrocious (30th in the NBA last month). Betting Pick: Rivers likes the Sixers (-7), believing they'll turn things around. 2. Knicks vs. Pacers (-1) (32:14 - 33:59) Key Points: Knicks want revenge for last year's playoff loss to Indiana. Betting Pick: Slight lean toward the Knicks due to their bounce-back potential. 3. Pistons (-3.5) vs. Bulls (35:18 - 39:24) Key Points: Bulls are surprisingly better without Zach LaVine. Pistons are one of the most improved teams with Cade Cunningham leading. Betting Pick: Manji likes the Pistons (-3.5). 4. Grizzlies vs. Suns (-2) (40:50 - 43:50) Key Points: Memphis leads the NBA in pace. Phoenix's defense is struggling. Betting Pick: Manji likes the over (238.5). Best Bets Mackenzie Rivers' Best Bet: 76ers (-7) vs. Raptors. Believes Sixers are undervalued and will improve. Munaf Manji's Best Bet: Grizzlies-Suns OVER (238.5). Memphis pushes tempo, and Phoenix can score. Final Thoughts The NBA trade deadline significantly changed team dynamics. Lakers now have their next franchise player in Luka. Warriors' title hopes remain slim despite acquiring Jimmy Butler. Bucks' future depends on Giannis' health. 76ers are undervalued, and overs are trending in February. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
