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.

He also examines how new head coach Mike Brown transformed the Knicks after replacing Tom Thibodeau, why championship rankings are a pointless exercise, and why dismissing New York's title because of today's NBA parity completely misses the point.Ric breaks down the Knicks' championship journey, the evolution of Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby, the impact of modern salary-cap restrictions on dynasties, and why every championship deserves respect regardless of the path taken.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Introduction and where to find Ric Bucher 01:32 – Knicks win first title in 53 years and immediate Brunson legacy debates 02:23 – Why Game 5 changed the perception of Jalen Brunson 03:00 – The problem with ranking active players historically 04:12 – Bias, objectivity and evaluating NBA greatness 05:14 – What makes Brunson special despite limited physical advantages 06:20 – The mental traits that separate Brunson from his peers 07:08 – Why championship heartbreak can fuel future success 07:56 – Knicks compared to the 2008 Celtics championship core 08:38 – Why continuity alone rarely wins championships 09:35 – Examples from Celtics, Warriors and Cavaliers title runs 09:57 – Mike Brown's impact on transforming the Knicks 10:55 – Why Jordan Clarkson and Jose Alvarado mattered 11:40 – Steve Kerr's philosophy versus Tom Thibodeau's approach 12:00 – Jonathan Kuminga's development and role-player expectations 13:10 – How Brown changed the Knicks' culture and rotation 14:05 – Why championship rankings are meaningless 14:50 – Comparing the Knicks' run to the 1995 Rockets 15:40 – Breaking down New York's Eastern Conference path 16:55 – Why the Knicks were built to challenge San Antonio 17:45 – The "every title deserves an asterisk" argument 18:10 – Why calling the Knicks championship a participation trophy is absurd 19:10 – NBA parity and the value of championships 20:00 – How salary-cap rules have made dynasties harder than ever 20:55 – Why winning multiple titles today is increasingly difficult 21:20 – The internal evolution that made the Knicks champions 22:00 – Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby and sacrifice for the greater good 22:45 – The power of "we over me" in building a champion 23:20 – Final thoughts: Every championship deserves respect 24:00 – OutroHASHTAGS#NBA #NewYorkKnicks #JalenBrunson #NBAFinals #Knicks #MikeBrown #OGAnunoby #KarlAnthonyTowns #NBAPlayoffs #Basketball #OnTheBall #RicBucherSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Ken reflects on a thought that's been nagging at him: winning the 2016 championship may have set an impossible standard that now makes it harder to appreciate every Cleveland team that comes after it. The current Cavs squad is genuinely good, but fans can't help measuring them against a team that pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in sports history, and the comparison is unfair by design since that Warriors dynasty could never be replicated under today's NBA rules. The same phenomenon bleeds into how fans view the Guardians, who keep making the playoffs but can't seem to generate real excitement despite being legitimate contenders. Ken wonders if Cleveland fans can only fully move on once LeBron retires and closes that chapter for good.
