In this episode, we are joined by our favorite Knicks fan friend, John MacLachlan. We do a round of over/unders for the top four in the East, discuss which Knicks and Celtics we would most like to hang out with in real life, and engage in an epic clash of 80s vs. today (Bernard King vs. Jimmy Butler). Also hear about when Nico was offered a shot in a bar, as well as hear his life advice about how to seat people for Thanksgiving.

On this episode of the pod, we poll our listeners for some mailbag questions. We discuss whether Lebron was the best of his era at every position, offer NBA doppelgangers for a series of WNBA stars, and debate which decade would win in an All Star match-up for the ages. For 90s and now, we compare the original Bad Boy, Dennis Rodman, with today's straw who stirs the drink, Draymond Green. We close with a new segment: Nico's life advice.

In this first episode, we learn what Nico thinks of his Dad's day job (hint: not impressed), and then launch into some post free agency Eastern Conference Power Rankings. There are some surprises -- Giannis and the Heat are not where you would think, and one of us is a lot higher on the Sixers than the other. We close with some summer league takes and argue that Doris Burke is criminally underrated.
