On today's episode, Michael and Chris talk about the surprising New Orleans Pelicans, a team that's quietly been very good over the past month despite not having Zion Williamson. Can they actually make some noise in the play-in/playoffs? They then open up the mailbag and answer a question about the Spurs, a team that might have a brighter future than people think. They also answer a question about the Kings, a team that might have a worse future than people think. They also answer an interesting question about the league's current streak of internationally-born MVP winners, and wonder who will break it. They close out the episode by celebrating Shaquille O'Neal's 50th birthday with a look at his greatest games ever.
