This episode of Far End of the Bench begins with a special tribute for the Black Mamba Kobe Bryant as his birthday and national day to be recognized, 8/24, was this past Monday. Niko uses the Center of Attention segment at the beginning of the pod to do so.

For this week's episode Jimmy and Niko decided to shake things up and instead of regimenting the show this week the guys discuss whatever is on their mind in the world of sports. Niko explains his feelings toward the Nuggets recent string of performances and if their win in game 5 is going to be a turning point for the series. When it comes to the Avalanche the guys debate who will be the most important piece to turn around their series with the Stars. After the local teams are out of the way the guys go over the rest of the NBA and NHL Playoffs, as well as some UFC and fight talk sprinkled in.

The normal segments of the show begin at the 50 minute mark so be sure to get your Bets put in and see who the guys picked for the Play of the week and Player of the week polls coming up on our Instagram stories.
