From the Olympians’ collapse in 1951 to a referee’s bets in 2007 to the FBI arrests of 2025, gambling has shadowed pro basketball from its earliest days. Sometimes it’s proven. Sometimes it is rumor. Either way, every scandal shaped the NBA we know today.

We're back! The Luka Doncic trade demanded the return of Over & Back, and here we are.

Jason and Rich reunite for the first time since November 2023 to discuss the blockbuster to end all blockbusters with Luka shipped off to Los Angeles.

In this episode, we explore prior trades in NBA history to compare with this one, discuss the various reasons why this trade differs from nearly all major trades in NBA history, identify which players historically measure up to Luka through his age 25 season, and give some appreciation to Anthony Davis, who is an excellent player, even though he isn't Luka Doncic.
