On today’s episode, Jason discusses a wild Opening Night in the NBA, including LeBron James’ debut with the Philadelphia 76ers on the New York Knicks’ ring night. Later, J-Mac drops a full preview of the upcoming NBA season, including: why he would not bet on the Sixers to win the NBA championship, whether the San Antonio Spurs can make the three guard lineup of De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle can fit around Victor Wembanyama, why several years of deep playoff runs could come back to bite the Oklahoma City Thunder, whether the new-look Minnesota Timberwolves can make noise in the West, why the Luka Doncic-led Los Angeles Lakers could be even better without LeBron, which teams he’s picking to win the NBA Finals, and much more!
