The nerds are joined by Joel Moran of the Pick a Side podcast to discuss whether Luka Doncic has surpassed Nikola Jokic as the best player in the NBA after carrying the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals. They also dive into a number of keys to the Finals, including whether Jayson Tatum can carry the Boston Celtics to an NBA title and why Kristaps Porzingis and Kyrie Irving may be the two most important players in the series. Finally, they discuss which team is best set up to be kings of the West next year and what the biggest takeaway from these playoffs has been.
