Description

On their final episode in downtown Phoenix of their junior year, Aidan and Shay take a moment to reflect on a major milestone—being named inaugural inductees into the Blaze Radio Hall of Fame—and express their gratitude to everyone who’s supported the show along the way. They then turn to the court, breaking down Joel Embiid’s dominant performance on the road against the Boston Celtics, a reminder of just how unstoppable he can be when healthy. From there, the conversation shifts to the NBA’s proposed lottery changes, a system neither host fully understands or agrees with, placing added attention on commissioner Adam Silver. The duo also reacts to Tyran Stokes’ commitment to the Kansas Jayhawks, offering an honest take on the decision and what it could mean moving forward. To close out both the episode and their junior year, Aidan and Shay take a trip down memory lane, revisiting their favorite moments and milestones as they look ahead to the summer.

Episode 48: Cleveland Collapses, the Ascension of College Diamond Sports, and the Yankees & Dodgers Leading the MLB Charge

On this episode, Shay and Aidan break down the New York Knicks reaching the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, while examining the shocking shortcomings of the Cleveland Cavaliers despite being one of the league’s analytical darlings throughout the season. The two agree that major changes could be on the horizon in Cleveland after another disappointing finish. They then shift to the rapid rise of college diamond sports, focusing on how Arizona State Sun Devils baseball and softball are positioned as well as they have been in years, with momentum building across both programs and the sport as a whole. To close the show, Shay and Aidan dive into Major League Baseball, discussing why a New York Yankees vs. Los Angeles Dodgers World Series rematch feels increasingly possible as both franchises continue to separate themselves from the rest of the league.
