Danny Parkins from First Things First fills in for Colin Cowherd getting you ready for the start of the NBA Playoffs! He starts by arguing for the Thunder to get the respect they have earned by continuing their dominant run since winning last season’s championship and entering the postseason with the league’s best record once again. He also shares his list of NBA Awards for this year and believes there is a clear-cut winner for this season’s MVP. Plus, NBA writer Kevin O’Connor joins the show to breakdown why he’s voting for Victor Wembanyama to win the MVP and why the Knicks are facing a nearly impossible challenge in the playoffs.
