Old Man Yells At Cloud + Knicks vs Spurs + Derek Dunks + Derek Bets His Son's 529 Plan + A Trip Back To 1999 + Celebrating 10 Years of DLS

The NBA Finals have begun, but before they started, Derek and Devesh had an intense discussion about how they think they might go. The Spurs and Knicks also met in the 1999 NBA Finals so we took a look at what things were like when the Spurs captured their first NBA title. Then Derek introduces Devesh to 82-0, a game that Devesh likely has not stopped playing in the days since. It's a fun-filled episode that definitely doesn't include anyone lightly comparing Victor Wembanyama's perimeter game to Steph Curry's and that getting blown way out of proportion. That definitely didn't happen, I promise. 82-0 can be found at 82-0.com. Be sure to subscribe to the show and follow it on the various social media platforms.
