Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight”

They start with the Lakers & the red hot play of Luka Doncic and debate whether the Lakers high powered offense can overcome their deficiencies on defense in the playoffs (4:00). Colin argues that under JJ Reddick, the Lakers now play in a highly motivated and intentional way and compliment Luka & LeBron (11:30), and Jason believes that LeBron has been uniquely focused in pursuit of a fifth ring (17:00).

They discuss Kevin Durant’s comment that “MJ is bigger than basketball” and compare Michael Jordan’s legacy to LeBron’s (24:00).

They pivot to Giannis and debate whether his hyperathletic style of play will age well, and what his value should be in a trade considering his age and injury history (32:30).

They switch gears to college basketball and discuss where Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. will land in the draft as one of the most well-rounded guard prospects in years (43:00).

Finally, they discuss how NIL has shifted the balance of power in college hoops ever further in favor of the blue blood programs and why we are seeing less double digit seeds pulling off upsets (51:15), and debate whether Gonzaga should move on from Mark Few after being upset by Texas in the tournament (57:30).
