Max and Rich debate whether this Knicks championship team ranks among the all-time greats (7:51). They spar over where Jalen Brunson stands versus Kyrie Irving and SGA, sparked by The Ringer's new player rankings (24:21). The conversation moves through the Thunder-Spurs Western Conference finals and Wembanyama's fatigue (31:09). They also discuss the public's rush to tear down rising stars and where LeBron James might land next given the title's ripple effects. Then, the World Cup buildup in the U.S. has Rich wanting to go to a match while they’re in New York (45:17), and they set parade plans for Max.

Max and Rich are back together in L.A. to preview Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
