From Halloween madness to hard-hitting hoops debates — this episode has it all.

Michael, Alejandro, and Sid kick things off by sharing their Halloween adventures, from Fort Lauderdale gridlock to NYC subway mayhem and low-effort Clark Kent costumes 😂. Then the guys shift gears into the NBA world to break down the second year of the Emirates NBA Cup — group matchups, early takeaways, and whether the tournament is actually growing on fans.

The crew debates the perfect evaluation point in a season — do you know a real contender after 15 games, 20, or not until the 30-game mark? And to wrap it all up, they jump into a spicy basketball philosophy question: in today’s NBA, are superstars overrated compared to deep, well-balanced teams?

Tap in for real hoop talk, jokes, and big-picture ideas about where the league is heading.
