The NBA Finals are set, and Jed is taking a well-deserved victory lap after correctly predicting the matchup.
This week on The 50/50 Club, Jed and Mark recap the Conference Finals and break down the unexpected championship showdown between the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks. They discuss the biggest reasons both teams advanced, make their Finals predictions, and identify the players who could decide the series.
The conversation then shifts to Oklahoma City and the biggest offseason question in basketball: Should the Thunder pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo? If Milwaukee is listening, what should OKC be willing to give up, and is Chet Holmgren untouchable? The guys apply a little Marine Corps Logic to one of the NBA's most fascinating roster decisions.
They also dive into Rich Paul's comments regarding LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Scottie Pippen, debating whether Jordan's supporting cast gets overlooked and whether LeBron's legacy is judged differently.
