Episode notes

Bomani Jones is joined by The Kid Mero of 7 PM in Brooklyn to discuss the New York Knicks vs Boston Celtics playoff series. Bo and Mero start off the show joking about their bodies failing them once they reached the age of 40 (0:50) and how they can't recover from injuries like they used to (2:13). Bo praises Mero for wearing a Knicks Dominican Republic version of a Karl-Anthony Towns jersey (6:30) and Mero says why KAT and Mitchell Robinson could turn into a version of Tim Duncan & David Robinson (10:26). Bo shares his doubts about the Knicks winning this series (18:14) and Mero explains why the Celtics are the corniest NBA team (23:40). They move onto the other NBA topics where they compare Anthony Edwards to an IMAX movie (33:24), why the bad commercials weren't Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's fault (37:59) and that Nikola Jokic's brothers look like henchmen from a movie (46:26). They round out the show imagining Cooper Flagg's life on Duke's campus (52:01) and the ongoing Diddy trial. (59:28)
