This week on Who’s Got the Ball? James and Shane break down the NBA Cup Final between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, analysing what the result means for both franchises and their championship outlook. The lads then tackle one of the biggest NBA questions right now: If the Oklahoma City Thunder don’t win the NBA Championship, who will?

The conversation shifts to the NFL, with a deep dive into Bo Nix’s standout performance against the Green Bay Packers, an assessment of the Kansas City Chiefs’ season, and a look at the NFL pre-season contenders that are on the brink of missing the playoffs.

To wrap up, there’s a Premier League discussion, including Nottingham Forest’s dominant win over Tottenham, reaction to Bruno Fernandes’ interview, and a preview and prediction of Newcastle vs Chelsea.

Plus, don’t miss the latest Gans Seans Picks and the updated Power Rankings across the NBA, NFL, and Premier League.
