On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by recapping the Los Angeles Lakers’ wild – and ugly – play-in win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. LeBron James and Anthony Davis were good-not-great but backup point guard Dennis Schroder was the difference in this one. That’s part of what makes this Lakers team so dangerous; You never know which of the ‘other guys’ will pop on a night-to-night basis. Later, Super Producer Rob G (Robert Guerra) joins the show to discuss the reports that the Atlanta Hawks would consider trading superstar point guard Trae Young this offseason. Atlanta may have beaten the Miami Heat in their play-in game but it’s fair to say they’ve underwhelmed the past two seasons. How much of that is on Trae? How much of that is on the Hawks front office? Sticking in the NBA, the guys go at it for a few minutes debating which stars are most deserving of an All-NBA nod. Should Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid both make First Team given that they're both centers? Will the Dallas Mavericks missing the play-in keep Luka Doncic off the three teams altogether? Finally, J-Mac closes the show with his Best Bets for the Wednesday night NBA Play-In games featuring the New Orleans Pelicans, Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors

First (3:00), Colin reacts to the Lakers comeback OT play-in win over the T’Wolves, despite some sloppy play, and if they are equipped to make a playoff run.

Then, LeBron author Jeff Benedict joins Colin to discuss the behind the scenes mechanics of ‘The Decision’, the Knicks over-the-top failed pitch, why Pat Riley’s pitch struck the right note, how LeBron bounced back from the low point of a Finals loss to the Mavs, his first meeting with Michael Jordan, why he's incorrectly blamed for the birth of the Super Team, when he knew he was the best player in the world, Jay-Z’s influence, and why he decided to publicly push back against former President Trump.
