First, it was Covid-10. Now, the nation's crisis has gotten worse, after the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis.

Ethan J. Skolnick and Alphonse Sidney discuss a serious topic:

Should the NBA come back?

Are their players' voices needed in this crisis?

Or should the league just shelve the season, with more important issues at play?

Fans fall hard for certain players. 

Does that influence the way a team handles them?

Ethan J. Skolnick and Alphonse Sidney discuss how the Miami Heat have handled that balance over the years -- focusing now on Tyler Herro, Meyers Leonard and others. 

Miami will have difficult decisions to make to build a contender. Who do they keep? Trade? And how will fans feel about it?

Ethan Skolnick, Alphonse Sidney and Alex Toledo are joined by the youngest Five Reasons Sports contributor, Brady Hawk, to talk about the latest NBA developments and to rank the Miami Heat's young core (Bam, DJJ, Herro, Nunn, KZ) against the rest of the NBA? 

Better than New Orleans (Zion)? Dallas (Lukas)? Boston (Brown and Tatum)?

Memphis? Atlanta? Phoenix?

There continue to be reports about an NBA return in Orlando, and now there's more discussion about seeding the teams 1-16, without conferences.

That means the Miami Heat would play the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.

On paper, that sounds like an OK matchup, but digging deeper, Chris Paul and company would present problems.

Ethan Skolnick and Alex Toledo break it down.

Greg Sylvander joins Ethan Skolnick, Alphonse Sidney and Alex Toledo to discuss the entire 10-part series The Last Dance, about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.

How legitimate was it? How biased?

What did we all learn about the NBA then and now?

And how would life for the Miami Heat have been different without MJ around?
