Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov discuss how we should be viewing this NBA season in light of all of the postponements and players sitting out. They debate whether the league would re-evaluate things if the Lakers - and LeBron, specifically - were dealing with COVID issues. They play a clip of Earl Watson telling a remarkable story about Devin Booker and Kobe Bryant and reveal that they are releasing a Kobe tribute podcast on the anniversary of his death (January 26th). The guys also get into what they're looking forward to this week. Noah wants to see what the Raptors' potential might be, if Zion Williamson will dunk on Rudy Gobert, the Sixers vs Celtics, and LeBron vs Giannis. Adam provides insight as to why Iowa star Luka Garza isn't higher on draft boards and is looking forward to his matchup with Indiana big man Trayce Jackson-Davis on Thursday.
