In this episode, I break down 2 major NBA discussion points. First, I revisit the Cade Cunningham MVP conversation and explain why I believe he’s firmly in the top-3 MVP tier right now. From the load he’s carried to Detroit’s rise this season, Cade’s case has become increasingly difficult to ignore.

Then, I dive into the Lakers vs Clippers LA derby. While the Lakers secured the win behind the overwhelming firepower of Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, and LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard delivered an unbelievable performance.

I also highlight the impact of elite defensive role players like Kris Dunn, Brook Lopez, and Marcus Smart, and why players in those roles can swing games on both ends of the floor as they did in today's bout in LA.

The 4 All-Star replacement selections are officially in — Kawhi Leonard, Alperen Sengun, Brandon Ingram, and De’Aaron Fox.

In this episode, I break down each selection, what it says about how All-Star value is being valued with guys like Harden, Randle and Dillon Brooks all still missing the selection.

More importantly, I dive into the bigger conversation around the players who were left out. And why the All-Star replacement process continues to spark debate about grading a player's literal regular season achievements.

A full breakdown of the decisions, the logic behind them, and the snub arguments that follow.

This episode breaks down one of the most eventful weeks of the NBA season.

I grade some of the biggest moves from the trade deadline, including the AD trade, Jaren Jackson's move to Utah, James Harden’s fit with Cleveland, and the Kristaps Porziņģis trade to Golden State. I dive into what each move means for team ceilings, playoff viability, and long-term direction.

I also unpack the latest developments in the Giannis situation and why him staying in Milwaukee is a polarising outcome.

I also go through an All-Star Weekend preview — looking at the reserves, narratives, and the successful World vs USA format we get to see.
