Episode KG & Tony Allen Break Down LaMelo’s Leg Grab, Wemby’s Playoff Debut & Ja’s Future
Kevin Garnett is joined in studio by the Grindfather, Tony Allen, for one of the most wide-open basketball conversations of the playoff season. KG and TA break down Victor Wembanyama’s first playoff series against Portland, the Giannis sweepstakes heating up in Milwaukee, the Knicks’ first-round pressure, Scottie Barnes’ two-way dominance with Toronto, and the Timberwolves’ new ownership energy under Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore. They also get into whether Wemby can win MVP and DPOY at 22, how the playoff bracket is shaping up, and KG’s raw message to Ja Morant: call Zion, call Giannis, get off your pride and find the love of the game again.
