They also break down the perfomance from Dylan Harper as the young guard for the San Antonio Spurs played his best game in the Double OT Thriller and discuss if the OKC Thunder should be concerned by Shai's lackluster Game 1 or if the back to back MVP was simply shaking the rust off after a long break.

Finally, they react to the viral clip of Anthony Edwards shaking hands with the San Antonio Spurs with 8 minutes left in their Game 6 blowout and debate if the Timberwolves superstar was overstepping with this immature action before breaking down the Cleveland Cavaliers Game 7 win over the Detroit Pistons where Donovan Mitchell proved he's a #1 option by carrying James Harden and the Cavs to an improbable Western Conference Finals against the Knicks.

Victor Wembanyama's BOUNCE BACK Electrifies Gil's Arena as the Gil's Arena Crew reacts to Victor Wembanyama returning to carry the San Antonio Spurs following his ejection for throwing a hostile elbow in Game 4 of their NBA Playoff Series against the Minnesota Timberwolves and discuss what statement the Alien & the Spurs made with their big win.

Next, they react to big news for the Philadelphia 76ers as the process came to a screeching halt after the team decided to move on from GM Daryl Morey following their elimination from the NBA Playoffs and debate what's next for the team as they are forced to build around a roster clogged with big contracts for Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey & Paul George. They then break down the state of the Los Angeles Lakers as the team faces a pivotal offseason with LeBron James & Austin Reaves both set to become free agents and debate where the team goes from here as they must either build around their current Big 3 that couldn't get it done in the NBA Playoffs or start over completely to build around Luka Doncic. Finally, they react to the NBA Draft Lottery as the Washington Wizards came away with the #1 overall pick and give their take on the Indiana Pacers losing out on their top 5 pick after winning just 19 games this season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder swept L.A., ending the season for the Lakers. Should the Lakers attempt to re-sign LeBron, or does LeBron want to stay?

Steve and Dre offer their takes on LSU head coach Lane Kiffin's controversial comments in a magazine article about deciding factors in departing Ole Miss. Shemeka Michelle joins, analyzing the New York Post photo of Dianni Russini and her husband kissing while holding their youngsters.

It's a Friday, which means it's time for another Shoot Around — the show where we throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Big Shot Bob himself, Robert Horry, is back in the building for Episode 132, and this one goes all over the place. We kick things off reacting to Skip Bayless returning to First Take for a one-time reunion with Stephen A. Smith. Nobody asked for it, everybody's gonna watch it — including us. But it raises a fair question: are you tuning in because you actually enjoy them, or just because it's been so long that nostalgia has you by the throat? From there we got into what TV reunions we'd actually want to see, which somehow turned into Rob getting volunteered — live, on the spot — to host a new version of NBA Inside Stuff with Ahmad Rashad's old job. He ran with it. Like, really ran with it. The man had co-host candidates locked and loaded (Cheryl Miller, Monica McNutt, and others get a mention), a vision for the show, and apparently more enthusiasm for a job he doesn't have than the one he does. Incredible. Then things got weird. A United Airlines plane clipped a bakery truck on the Jersey Turnpike on approach to Newark — and we had the audio. That set off a whole conversation about terrifying aviation moments, NBA team charter planes, which franchises had the nicest setups (Dallas and Portland apparently had the goods), and the time Rob was sitting next to Butter Bean on a late-night flight when the guy in front of them went completely still and his wife lost her mind thinking he was dead. Spoiler: sleep paralysis. A listener named Richie sent in a question after a wild JP Morgan story broke this week — a guy fabricated a sexual harassment case, it went everywhere before anyone fact-checked it, and the woman got dragged online for days before the truth came out. That opened the door for Rob to share a story he's apparently never told publicly: the time a woman he didn't even know filed a false harassment claim against him with the Lakers, complete with unsolicited fan mail that's... a lot. We won't spoil the details. But it ended with Rob's lawyer sorting it out after discovering the same woman had done it to three other people. We wrapped up with a question from Vic about the Mandalorian movie dropping near May the 4th, Star Wars fatigue, and whether Marvel is stuck in the same trap — giving away so much for free on streaming that nobody wants to pay for the theatrical version anymore. Then, naturally, it was Cinco de Mayo (Taco Tuesday edition), which meant Rob had to explain a very chaotic night in Austell, Georgia, a sombrero, a man in a full Transformer outfit, and getting home at 3 AM.

Steve Kim and Jay Skapinac join to discuss NBA action. The Minnesota Timberwolves welcomed back Anthony Edwards, leading to a Game 1 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in their NBA Conference Semifinal series. Spurs star center Victor Wembanyana struggled offensively, scoring 11 points and converting five of 17 shots, missing all eight three-point shots. Is the Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert going to be an issue for Wemby in this series? Jalen Brunson led the New York Knicks to a Game 1 victory in their series against Philadelphia. Brunson scored 35 points in 31 minutes. Tonight LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers begin their series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Is Rich Paul throwing LeBron under the bus claiming that NBA players are directing potential clients elsewhere because of their disdain for the King? Can Kevin Durant and the Rockets coexist, and is it possible that Aaron Rodgers is headed to the desert? Steve and Jason ponder why Skip Bayless is making a guest appearance on "First Take" with Stephen A. Smith and whether Dianna Russini is on the verge of publicly addressing “her truth”? Jason wraps it up solo with his take on Marcellus Wiley facing sexual allegations. Today's Sponsors: GhostBed GhostBed isn't just a mattress; it's a piece of health equipment.

Hollywood and Omar Kelly open Hour 4 with light conversation around Cinco de Mayo plans, as both share how they're spending the day with their kids. The conversation then shifts to sports media, where the return of Skip Bayless to First Take sparks a debate about how networks constantly recycle personalities for ratings and how the Bayless-Stephen A. Smith era still stands as the peak of the show. That leads into broader entertainment talk, including the surge of sports documentaries, renewed interest in OJ Simpson projects, and even frustration with rising travel costs as flight prices continue to climb and Spirit Airlines goes out of business. The focus then turns back to football, where Omar Kelly addresses the Dolphins passing on Reuben Bain for Kadyn Proctor in the draft, explaining that the new front office is prioritizing size, physicality, and long-term evaluation over public opinion, while also noting both players will be linked for years and that Miami's trade-back strategy added valuable assets. The hour wraps with a sports media angle out of Toronto, where a new Maple Leafs GM faces intense scrutiny in his introductory press conference, leading to a discussion about the challenges reporters face when asking tough questions in high-pressure environments
Seth and Sean discuss the Astros' 8-3 loss to the Dodgers, Joe Espada getting chippy when asked about Ryan Weiss, the Texans outlining their commitment to Harris County, Ime Udoka calling the reports "laughable" about the Rockets' locker room issues, go through the day's Headlines, lay out why it seems like CJ Stroud's been more focused this offseason, what jumped out at them from Stone and Udoka's seasons end press conference, which Astros have enough trade value to potentially kickstart a legit rebuild, react to Mad Dog and Jaylen Brown being petty and get petty themselves in the PettyCast, discuss the Stefon Diggs trial starting yesterday with an interesting plot point, lay out the several things that Espada said to Chandler Rome that ticked them off in the duration of like 35 seconds, dive into some of what Rafael Stone and Ime Udoka had to say about the Rockets in their season wrap-up press conference, Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd being flabbergasted that the Texans haven't given CJ Stroud his extension yet, how hot Astros Manager Joe Espada's seat is after the Red Sox let Alex Cora go, and see what the question of the day is with Reggie and Lopez.

This date in history, reliving some of the best sports calls following John Sterling's passing, Quick Hitters: the Bulls lack of success this century & Mr. Unlimited could be joining CBS, Ohio State's returning production, which teams regret conference realignment the most, why we liked the Bengals & Browns offseason moves and Skip Bayless is coming back to 'First Take'.
In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and James finish their discussion on Bo Nix posting a video of himself running at the Broncos practice facility. Is Nix's video misleading as many think this video is from months ago or even a year ago? Who is Nix trying to convince with this video? We pivot to the Nuggets and discuss ESPN's Shams Charania's recent reporting on the Nuggets keeping David Adelman but being open to making moves with the roster outside of Nikola Jokic. Are the Nuggets making a mistake by bringing back Adelman for a second year and potentially wasting more of Jokic's prime? Today's "Three Count" features the Nuggets' ownership not maximizing their window after not being willing to spend on front office executives and coaches, Joel Embiid exercising some demons by beating Boston in game 7 to move on to the second round, and Skip Bayless joining Stephen A. Smith on First Take this Friday. We dive into the reports on Aaron Gordon being looked at as a trade candidate for teams like the Lakers, Suns, and more.
Seth and Sean see if Skip Bayless not being impressed by Will Anderson, Draymond wondering if he could have been an offensive powerhouse if not for Steve Kerr, or James Gladstone bragging that the Jags got the guys they wanted in the draft can dethrone reigning champ Oregon QB Coach Koa Ka'ai.
