Episode notes
Steph Curry Injury Impact
- Steph Curry will miss at least the next three Warriors games.
- Despite this, Golden State's strong defense and culture might secure a win in a home game without him.
Two-Year Pre-NBA Requirement

- This provides better seasoning, coaching, and preparation compared to the G League.
LeBron's Championship Focus
- LeBron James prioritizes championship rings over money in his remaining career years.
- Taking a pay cut to improve the Lakers' roster around Luka Doncic and himself could lead to more titles.
