In this episode of Off the Screen, Jordon, Alejandro, and Michael welcome back the "guest star" Sid to catch up on his master’s degree grind and the brutal reality of spring break vs. the corporate world. The crew dives deep into a heated comparison of academic "trauma," pitting the IB program against AP and Cambridge systems.

The basketball talk heats up as they monitor a historic (and perhaps legendary) performance from Bam Adebayo as he chases scoring records in real-time. Plus, the team analyzes Kevin Durant’s return to form, the looming WNBA CBA crisis, and why Boston might be the next big WNBA market. Stick around for a final debate on the New York Chopped Cheese.
