Professor Mike Lewis and co-host begin this episode with a discussion of the NBA's most chaotic postseason in recent memory. This features a conversation on the Atlanta Hawks' future, Philadelphia's failed "Process," and what a small market Finals could mean for the league.

Mike and Doug then observe a number of recent stories that highlight the infiltration of politics in sports - Ronaldo, Rapinoe, and the NCAA's recent Supreme Court loss.
