On this Friday edition of ‘Real Ones,’ Logan and Raja open the pod by discussing LeBron's confrontation with Stephen A. Smith after the Lakers defeated the Knicks in OT on Thursday night (1:07). Was LeBron in the wrong for walking up to Stephen A. in defense of Bronny? The confrontation overshadowed what was a great basketball game. Has the Knicks’ offense been exposed to being Brunson or bust (15:28)? Logan and Raja then play a game in which they explore what they're seeing from specific teams and whether those teams are peaking too early (31:46). How do Steph and Jimmy balance their coexistence on the court, as it has been helping them win?

Logan Murdock, Howard Beck, and Raja Bell start the pod with the unfortunate season-ending injury news for All-Star guard Kyrie Irving (0:21). Irving’s injury adds to the long list of Mavs players that have been sidelined throughout the season, including Anthony Davis (who was traded for Luka Doncic). Just how catastrophic has this season been for the Mavs? On the flip side, the Lakers have been rolling and are 16-4 in their last 20 games. LeBron and Luka seem to fit perfectly together and Howard believes this still isn't the best version of Luka. How terrified should the Western Conference teams be (23:18)?

Anthony Edwards received his 16th technical foul and was ejected during the Timberwolves' matchup against the Lakers Thursday night. Ant will now serve the mandatory one-game suspension for receiving his 16th tech.

Plus, Paul George has decided to halt his podcast to focus on the Sixers, getting healthy, and trying to win a championship. What’s the real reason George put the mic down, and can active player podcasts affect results on the court (38:42)?

Logan Murdock, Raja Bell, and Howard Beck discuss the Knicks falling to the Cavs and the Celtics in embarrassing fashion over the weekend (7:08). Can the Knicks realistically compete with top-notch competition, or should they be content with possibly reaching another 50-win season? The Sixers have been a complete dumpster fire since the start of the season, and Joel Embiid is facing lingering injury problems. Should the Sixers shut him down for the rest of the season and enter the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes (31:06)?
