    Tyrese Maxey makes Jon Stewart a Meme

    Tyrese Maxey makes Jon Stewart a Meme

    Just because Lebron James is out of the playoffs doesn't mean Amin and Charlotte can't speculate about what his next career move will be! From Cardi B to Ben Stiller, Knicks fans from all walks of life were deflated after the Sixers took over in OT last night. Charlotte's Celtics are fighting for their life in tonight's game against the Heat. Charlotte and Amin close out today with Bet the Show, where they make picks for tonight's matchup between the Mavericks and Clippers. Charlotte also makes a bold prediction about the upcoming series between the Nuggets and Timberwolves.

    Lebron (and the Lakers) are Eliminated

    Lebron (and the Lakers) are Eliminated

    Breaking news: the Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets thanks to another Jamal Murray go-ahead shot. Amin and Charlotte are loving this underdog story of the Knicks ending the Sixers playoff hopes. Embiid was disappointed in the Philly fans, but with his stats from game 4, Charlotte thinks he should only be disappointed in himself. Kevin Durant isn't to blame for the Suns getting swept by the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards is on a tear and we just witnessed the passing of the guard from KD to Edwards. Who's Doc Rivers going to blame this week? Amin and Charlotte play The Magic Touch, where they predict what Magic Johnson will tweet about in upcoming games.

    Are The Sixers Pulling Our Leg?

    Are The Sixers Pulling Our Leg?

    Charlotte and Amin react to Joel Embiid's 50-point game against the Knicks last night as the 76ers earned their first win in the series. They also offer takes on post-game comments Lebron James and Anthony Davis after they fell to 3-0 in their series against the Denver Nuggets. Then they play Sweep Check, where they rank playoff series on the likelihood that either the Lakers, Suns, and Pelicans will be swept. 

    Charlotte and Amin put on high-tech equipment to play Lie Detector, where they judge if Devin Booker, Joe Mazzulla, or Rudy Gobert were fibbing when speaking to the media this week. They also comment on the Frenchmen in this year's draft class and JJ Redick reportedly interviewing for head coach of the Charlotte Hornets.

    Heat Upset Celtics, Donnie Wahlberg Responds

    Heat Upset Celtics, Donnie Wahlberg Responds

    Amin is back with the hot takes, and he's reminding Charlotte that her Celtics aren't untouchable, as proven in their latest game against the Miami Heat. Joel Embiid is looking like he's given up after their second straight loss. Amin argues that Anthony Davis falling into the Nuggets' bench after Jamal Murray's game-winning shot was one of the worst things that can happen to an NBA player. Charlotte and Amin close out today's episode with Bet the Show.

    Knicks Riding High, Heat Riding Low, Mavs Riding Steady

    Knicks Riding High, Heat Riding Low, Mavs Riding Steady

    With Amin out today, Charlotte has a guest co-host who's really shaking things up: Al Gorithm. Al is helping Charlotte get into everyone's algorithm using cutting-edge technology to pinpoint topics that are guaranteed to drive traffic to Oddball's various social media platforms. Is Anthony Edwards the next Michael Jordan? Do the Heat stand a chance against the Celtics without Jimmy Butler? Can the Mavs keep this pace in their series against the Clippers? And wasn't it crazy when Nikola Jokic's brother fought a Lakers fan? Charlotte also admits that it's been hard to not become a Knicks fan, and shares some footage of New Yorkers after speaking to them before game two of their series against the 76ers. 

    Finally, Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches Craig Robinson joins the show to discuss playing pick-up basketball with his brother-in-law, former president Barack Obama. Listen and subscribe to Craig's new podcast, WAYS TO WIN with John Calipari by going to: link.chtbl.com/waystowin?sid=oddball1

    NBA Awards, Banned Frenchmen, Ant's Idol

    NBA Awards, Banned Frenchmen, Ant's Idol

    Amin and Charlotte drop some hot takes on one of the most important NBA discussions of the year: the NBA awards. Where is Jalen Bruson? Does Victor Wembanyama deserve to win DPOY? Why isn't Joe Mazzula one of the Coach of the Year finalists? Amin also gives everyone the 411 on Kawhi Leonard and why he hasn't been playing for Clippers in their series against the Mavericks. Charlotte thinks if the Knicks win another game the fans might just burn down the city. We found out that you can't count out Dame and wouldn't be surprised if Dame's next song was released. Amin and Charlotte also ask each other if you could do one thing in front of your idol, like Ant playing with Durant, what would it be?
