The Hoffman Show

Craig welcomes on ESPN’s Clinton Yates to discuss the bombshell news that broke earlier this week: the Los Angeles Lakers have been sold at a record $10 billion valuation to Dodgers owner Mark Walter. Craig and Clinton dive into what this historic sale means for the Lakers, the NBA at large, and how this could reshape the sports ownership landscape moving forward.

For today’s edition of “Not My Beat,” Craig welcomes on Andrew Chernoff of Wish-TV Indianapolis to break down the Pacers’ dominant Game 6 win over the Thunder in the NBA Finals. They discuss how Indiana got to this point in the series, what stood out in Game 6, and how the Pacers quickly shifted their focus to Game 7 instead of celebrating.

Craig welcomes on Josh Robbins of The Athletic to discuss his latest article on the state of the Washington Wizards rebuild and where the franchise is headed. With the 2025 NBA Draft approaching, they dive into what the Wizards might do with their trio of picks (6th, 18th, and 40th), the top names being linked to Washington, and whether any draft-night movement or trades could be on the horizon.

Craig opens the show reacting to the Pacers’ stunning blowout win over the Thunder in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, forcing a decisive Game 7 — the best two words in sports. Indiana led by 30 entering the fourth quarter, leaving no doubt as they bounced back in dominant fashion. Craig breaks down how the Pacers flipped the series back in their favor, what went wrong for the Thunder, and what to expect heading into the winner-take-all Game 7.
