Rich tips off the hour recapping the Lakers big overtime win over the Knicks and explains why LeBron and company would have their hands full in a play-in game against a VERY motivated Golden State Warriors team.

ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins tells Rich why the Play-In Tournament is the best thing to happen to the NBA’s regular season in a long time, his pick to win the NBA MVP Award, why we shouldn’t sleep on the Atlanta Hawks come playoff time, and if his brash style as a broadcaster has bruised any of his old NBA friendships he made as a player, and why his Celtics should have beaten Kobe’s Lakers in the 2010 NBA Finals.

Rich wraps up the hour reacting to Urban Meyer’s first public comments on Tim, and defends the Jaguars coach’s decision to give his former Heisman Trophy-winning QB another shot at the NFL.
