On this episode of Imagine Sports with Jack Cote, we break down everything happening in the NBA Conference Finals, including why Victor Wembanyama already looks destined to become one of the greatest players the league has ever seen. We also get into the Oklahoma City Thunder’s rise and debate whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s foul-drawing and flopping style of play is making OKC one of the most frustrating teams in basketball to watch despite how dominant they are.
We then shift into one of our favorite debates yet: which era of basketball could create the greatest starting five of all time. From the physicality of the 80s and 90s to the skill and spacing of today’s game, we build hypothetical lineups and argue which generation would actually come out on top. I also give my personal Top 10 Best NBA players ever list, which sparks plenty of disagreement.
To close out the episode, we go through the Patriots’ schedule and expectations for the upcoming season, while my dad accurately predicts the Knicks taking a 2-0 lead over the Cavaliers before the series shifted back to Cleveland.
