Should We Be Worried About Wemby? Jokic’s All-Time Case, Thunder Juggernaut & Warriors Reality Check
Victor Wembanyama keeps getting banged up… should we actually be worried?
In this episode, John and Lorne dive into Wemby’s long-term health, how the Spurs should handle him, and whether we’re headed toward an all-time “what if” career.
From there, they hit everything from the Thunder’s terrifying rise, the Warriors’ endless drama, Suns Island optimism, the revived Raptors and Pistons, to whether Nikola Jokic is already a top-10 player of all time.
They even finish by drafting their ultimate 5-on-5 fantasy teams and letting AI decide whose squad would win a seven-game series. 🙃
