Jason Timpf is joined by The Athletic's Sam Vecenie to break down the NBA's top contenders post All-Star break. The guys discuss why Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are once again the team to beat, whether Jayson Tatum's Boston Celtics or Kawhi Leonard's Los Angeles Clippers should be considered the No. 2 contender, and if Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and the Milwaukee Bucks will "figure it out" before the NBA Playoffs begin.

Jason reacts to the news that LeBron James, after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers, decided to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers and join Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe. Bron ultimately did not choose the favorites on his list, the Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, or Cleveland Cavaliers, and instead opted for the team run by Bob Myers (who had previously appeared on Rich Paul's ’Game Over’ podcast discussing this decision).
