This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition for The Office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to me, right? Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud.
But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Volume.
Alright, welcome to Hoops Tonight here at The Volume. Happy Wednesday, everybody. Hope all of you guys are having an incredible week. Well, we just have Game 1 of the NBA Finals in the books. A very, very different feeling series than what we had in the Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and the Thunder. But very highly entertaining. Contested to the very end. We had a tie game going into the fourth quarter. We had a one-point Spurs lead with just a couple of minutes left. And then the Knicks closed the game on a run. Get out of here with game one. Take a 1-0 lead, stealing home court advantage, and most likely going to be the favorite to win the finals from this point forward. We're going to be breaking this game down from the perspective of both teams, digging into some of the different kind of like trends in coverages and matchups and just all the little things that I picked up from game one.
And then at the tail end of the show, we're going to bring Jackson on. We're going to take some questions from the chat. So if any of you guys have any questions about about anything from this series, drop them in the chat, and we will get to them at the tail end of the show. You guys know the drill.

So this game very fascinatingly kind of just came down to a series of runs. It was very back and forth. And, you know, like it comes down to like a very... specific sequence of plays late, but at the same time, it felt like at various points in the game that either team could have taken control or lost control. And it just wildly kind of oscillated back and forth. And it's because both teams can cause problems for each other in a variety of ways. That's what makes for an entertaining series.
