In this episode of the 2k Bros Podcast, Jimbo and Simon Carver break down the full story behind Joe’s dominant Orlando Magic championship run and Phillip’s high-powered but short-lived Golden State Warriors campaign. They dig into the regular-season numbers, lineup construction, and efficiency splits that fueled an 11–3 record for both squads, then contrast why one team turned that success into a 9–1 playoff steamroll and a Finals sweep while the other bowed out in the first round.

Using in-game data, box scores, and bracket results, the bros go full ESPN-style: dissecting Joe’s defensive identity, elite shooting (55.3% FG, 45.3% from three), and depth pieces like L. Waters III and M. Williams, alongside Phillip’s explosive 70.9 PPG Warriors powered by Kevin Durant, Scottie Barnes, and Sixth Man of the Year Obi Toppin. They close by walking through the Bulls and Suns series, key Finals performances from Jayson Tatum and the Magic core, and what this all says about the difference between regular-season volume scoring and playoff execution in their custom 2K universe.
