On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on the cancellation of Friday's USA Basketball exhibition game against Australia stemming from Bradley Beal's positive COVID test. With the Delta variant running rampant around the world, are we sure at this point that the Olympic Games will go off without a hitch? And assuming they do, who should Team USA call up to replace Beal on the roster? Anthony Davis? Zion Williamson? This whole thing is definitely something to keep an eye on. Later, Jason does a quick preview of Game 5 of the NBA Finals. With the series shifting back to Phoenix we can assume the Suns' role players will play well. Will Bucks' role players be able to match the intensity? Finally, The Ringer staff writer and author Mirin Fader swings by to discuss the impending release of her new book 'GIANNIS: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP' and how the timing worked out so well, how the COVID restrictions actually forced her to become a better journalist, why Giannis is the American dream personified, how Giannis' path to the NBA is so much different than other international prospects like Luka Doncic, why loyalty played such a big role in his decision to stay in Milwaukee, the possibility of Giannis becoming the Face of the League, and much more!
