Amin and Charlotte drop some hot takes on one of the most important NBA discussions of the year: the NBA awards. Where is Jalen Bruson? Does Victor Wembanyama deserve to win DPOY? Why isn't Joe Mazzula one of the Coach of the Year finalists? Amin also gives everyone the 411 on Kawhi Leonard and why he hasn't been playing for Clippers in their series against the Mavericks. Charlotte thinks if the Knicks win another game the fans might just burn down the city. We found out that you can't count out Dame and wouldn't be surprised if Dame's next song was released. Amin and Charlotte also ask each other if you could do one thing in front of your idol, like Ant playing with Durant, what would it be?

ODDBALL - NBA Awards, Banned Frenchmen, Ant's Idol

A viral video of a weeping Caleb Williams, the top prodigy in this week’s draft, “scares the sh*t out of a lot of NFL teams.” So correspondent Dave Fleming breaks out the tissues — and a stack of research — to discover what the science of crying disproves about the pseudo-science of scouting; why a Super Bowl locker room was like a scene out of “The Notebook”; and how even the Darth Vader of football (allegedly) choked up. Plus: Domonique Foxworth names names — and changes our basic understanding of the most masculine of sports.

(17:22) Even more drama in the Knicks and Sixers game. The Knicks score 6 points in 14 seconds. Were there fouls? Were there timeouts? None were called! (24:20) Aaron Boone’s ejection was caught on live video with audio. Shocking stuff for fans. MLB has a problem. (37:23) Review: Ripley. (38:24) What’s going on at college campuses is pretty stark.

CINEPHILE - Coming to America + Jeff Garlin

The FA Cup semi-final matches were incredibly entertaining, but did Manchester United really deserve to advance to another final at Wembley? 

We had another weekend of controversy in English football, as Manchester United survived a close call in the FA Cup semis thanks to a questionable offsides decision by the referee. Christian and Alexis discuss whether or not Coventry City got screwed by the officials and ask what can be done to fix the constant mistakes. The guys also respond to Nottingham Forest's unhinged Tweet about VAR mistakes, react to Real Madrid's Clasico victory, and recap the weekend in MLS.
