For our season finale, we wanted to turn to you, our amazing listeners, for some insightful questions for IT. Who are some of the best coaches IT has worked with and what did he learn from them? How did he figure out how to score at the rim on bigger defenders? How did his mentality change over time as he moved up the ranks? Who are the most intense trash-talkers on the court? IT digs into all of these questions and more, exploring the core childhood memories that made him who he is today. It's been an amazing season, and we want to thank our fans again for tuning in! We can't wait to dig back into all things basketball in the fall.

The NBA Finals concluded in historic fashion with the New York Knicks winning their first championship since 1973. The guys have to give credit where credit's due to these Knicks, but the unprecedented amount of blown double-digit leads by the Spurs was insane to witness. I.T. breaks down why this may have happened, and what the Spurs can do to get better next season. I.T. and C.J. also take a minute to look ahead – Summer League will be an amazing opportunity for I.T. to work out with and watch some rising talent. And the guys can't help but speculate on a few key star players' next moves in free agency: where will Giannis, Ja, and LeBron end up? I.T. has a couple of hot takes for good measure.

Isaiah Thomas On How the Knicks Won the 2026 NBA Championship

Recorded before Game 3, I.T. and C.J. catch up on what they've been seeing from both the Spurs and the Knicks so far in this series. Brunson and KAT are playing in an incredibly organic way that just so happens to throw Wemby's game off completely. On top of that, the Spurs' role players aren't quite hitting their stride yet and it's making all the difference. If the Knicks can pull this off, it will be a Finals run for the history books. And speaking of hoop history, C.J. puts I.T. to a new test this time around – he has to blind rank 10 epic Finals moments with zero time to prep. Can you guess which moment went #1? You know we have to talk sneakers too, so I.T. and C.J. round up all the best shoe selections they've been seeing on the court. As always, we round things out with our No Days Off segment, where we shout out the unsung heroes in these exciting games.

I.T. called the Spurs going all the way back in February, and he wasn't lying! And now, after a truly legendary playoffs, we're finally here: the NBA Finals! Before we look ahead, C.J. and I.T. take a second to break down the dramatic Spurs/OKC Game 7 from this past weekend, including some tough love for Chet Holmgren, some much-deserved praise for SGA both on and off the court, and nothing but love for the incredible role players on both squads for stepping up throughout the series. Next, C.J. and I.T. look ahead to the Finals. A 1999 rematch, an NBA Cup rematch, and the biggest stage possible to launch Wemby into superstardom. Will the Spurs begin their dynasty? Or will Brunson break the curse and become the greatest Knick of all time? Like every episode, we end with some quick games: I.T. redrafts the 2011 draft class with 15 years of hindsight and ranks the top 5 all-time signature shoe lines. And to round things out, this week's No Days Off award goes to none other than Julian Champagnie, who put on an insane 3-point clinic in Game 7.

Isaiah Thomas On Why Knicks vs. Spurs Is The Perfect NBA Finals

On this week's episode, I.T. and C.J. catch up on the past week of playoff hoops: the Knicks continued their historic march to the Finals with a clean sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers on the backs of an incredibly balanced and poised roster. The Cavs got their hearts ripped out in Game 1 and just never really seemed to recover. And in the West, the Spurs v. OKC series has been just as incredible as anticipated. Role players like Jared McCain and Isaiah Hartenstein are stepping up big in close games, alongside monster performances from Wemby and SGA, and the coaching adjustments on both sides have been immaculate. What do the Cavs do next? Is this Knicks team for real? Who's going to come out on top in the West? We dig into all of these burning questions, plus we crack open I.T.'s closet door for another edition of Shoe and Tell, and we give flowers to Deuce McBride and Landry Shamet for holding down the New York bench throughout this Knicks run.

On this week's episode, I.T. opens up about his new role with the Celtics as a pro and college scout and what it felt like experiencing the NBA Draft Combine on the other side of the table. Then we dig into how round two shook out: Wemby’s Spurs absolutely dominated an undermanned T-Wolves squad and the Cavs overpowered the #1 seed Pistons against the odds with great team basketball. And now it’s time to preview our conference finals: Spurs v. Thunder and Cavs v. Knicks. In the West we have two teams with insane chemistry and team defense, in the East we have two somewhat inconsistent teams with a ton of potential. In our games segment, we quiz I.T. on playoff trivia, make him choose the three pairs of kicks he would want on a desert island, and award this week's No Days Off to Cavs' stand-outs Evan Mobley and Sam Merrill.

The Knicks and OKC are both cruising through the second round, but the other series are starting to get interesting! A vintage Harden game saved the Cavs from collapse, and Wemby's ejection in Game 4 cleared the path for a Timberwolves win to tie the series. I.T. and C.J. react to the referee drama, the high-intensity plays, and everything in between. We also dig into the painful Pacers gamble that left Indy without a first-round pick this year, predict where Darius Acuff Jr. and AJ Dybantsa will end up next season, and round things out by giving our No Days Off award to Spurs rookie Dylan Harper.

Round 1 of the playoffs is in the books and there's a lot to recap! The Pistons very nearly lost their season to the 8-seed Orlando Magic. The shorthanded Timberwolves managed to defeat the Nuggets. And somehow, some way, the Celtics ended their amazing season in the first round at the hands of the Sixers. I.T. also weighs in on the rumors that Steve Kerr may be retiring this year and the well-deserved Sixth Man and Most Improved Player Awards. Then we get back into sneakerhead territory as C.J makes I.T. select the best Nike Basketball shoe of all time in a new head-to-head segment.

We're in the thick of the 2026 playoffs so this week we wanted to take a little trip down memory lane. In his three years on the Celtics, I.T. went to the playoffs every season, battling some of the greatest teams of the iconic late 2010's era: the John Wall / Bradley Beal Wizards, the Dwyane Wade / Jimmy Butler Bulls, and of course the prime LeBron / Kyrie Cavs. I.T. breaks down the highs and lows of each run, including a fun fact you probably never knew involving 13 hours of dental surgery. We end things by looking back at some of I.T.'s favorite playoff memories from childhood – the Shaq & Kobe Lakers, prime Allen Iverson, and more.
