Sam Amick from The Athletic joins for a live podcast complete with audience Q&A at the end! Sam and Howard discuss the MVP race and why Sam believes it's between Paul George, Gianna Antetokounmpo, and James Harden (and not Nikola Jokic), the Milwaukee Bucks run, the Lakers crisis vs the Celtics crisis, the great Anthony Davis question, the Sacramento Kings' turnaround, and the hype surrounding Ben Simmons.
