Episode notes

Draymond Green and Baron Davis break down the flagrant foul that Dray received in the Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets game and emphasize how Steph Curry deserves more free throws. Draymond shares how Steph is locked in because he wants to play meaningful basketball in the NBA playoffs. Draymond talks about the chance of winning his second Defensive Player of the Year, which has motivated him to make key defensive plays, like the steal on Luka Doncic during the Los Angeles Lakers game. Plus, they talk about the importance of team contributions from players like Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody. Baron Davis discusses the intensity of current playoff positioning and why matchups matter more. Off the court, they show major love to Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard as a first-ballot Hall of Famers. They reflect on Carmelo’s Knicks era, explaining why Carmelo deserves to have his Denver Nuggets jersey retired. They give Dwight Howard his flowers, talk about his dominance, and how surprising he was left off the NBA’s Top 75 list. Baron responds to Steve Francis to close it out, while he and Draymond weigh in on JJ Redick’s take about the Most Improved Player award. This one’s loaded—tap in.
