When we taped our live episode during NBA All-Star Weekend, we received an incredible number of listener questions — more than we could fit into the show. So this week, we’re circling back to make sure the rest of them get answered.

Isaiah Thomas reflects on the kind of legacy that truly matters to him, shares stories about his relationship with the late great Nipsey Hussle, and talks about what it felt like playing for the Celtics while growing up a fan of the Lakers.

He also weighs in on the growing trend of NBA G League players returning to college basketball, along with several thoughtful — and fun — questions straight from the audience.

Have a question you want IT to answer? Head over to YouTube and drop it in the comments on the video version of the pod. You might just hear it on a future episode of Point Game.

Tensions are rising in the home stretch of the season, with all kinds of commotion popping up across the league. After Lu Dort clearly tripped Jokić this week, a full-on scuffle materialized in seconds. IT weighs in on the incident and how Lu Dort is emblematic of a certain kind of defensive player who makes questionable decisions in the heat of battle. In another heated moment, a fight nearly broke out after Tyler Herro taunted KD about his alleged burner accounts. And on the opposite coast, we saw Anthony Edwards get into it with his own coach last week after draining a dagger three. IT condemns using burner accounts, weighs in on the art of trash talk, and spells out what constitutes fair play when doing what it takes to win. 

IT and CJ also take a moment to appreciate NBC's revival of its 90s-era NBA coverage, share some excitement for the start of March Madness, and give out this week's No Days Off award to Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels, who's quietly one of the most impactful power forwards in the league today.

On this week’s episode we’re jumping into some college hoops talk as controversy has bubbled up around Darryn Peterson. Why is he going off in games and then benching himself when there’s still time on the clock? Will this kind of load management become more common in college sports as players gain more power? We also can’t help but compare Darryn and other top prospect AJ Dybantsa to past NBA greats like Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant. 

In other news, Adam Silver addressed blatant tanking during a league-wide conference call last week. C.J. and I.T. discuss the inevitability of tanking, but also explore potential solutions, including changing how the lottery system works. 

We also wanted to show some love to Steph Curry’s shoe game, weigh in on Pat Riley’s take that coaches should go back to wearing suits, and give love to Amen Thompson for doing his thing down in Houston.
