Team USA hockey delivered a historic Olympic moment, defeating Canada in overtime to win its first men’s gold medal in 46 years, while the women’s team added gold of their own. We evaluate whether this was the most exciting Winter Olympics in decades. With March Madness around the corner, we also debate draft culture in college basketball, including Darryn Peterson’s approach to protecting his NBA stock and whether high school players should be eligible for the draft again. In the NBA, we discuss: The Lakers’ blowout loss to Boston on Pat Riley statue night Faith in Los Angeles heading into the playoffs Luka vs JJ Redick as the bigger disappointment Jaylen Brown’s MVP case We close with a look at two rising contenders, the Spurs and Pistons, and debate which franchise reaches a conference finals first and which might be overrated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
