Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs.
We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments.
If we didn't talk ever again, I was crying. You just understood.
That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Mark keep coming to you. He's like, you know, I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball.
So listen to Point Game on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
If a baby is giggling in the backseat, they're probably happy. If a baby is crying in the backseat, they're probably hungry.
But if a baby is sleeping in the backseat, Will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the backseat are much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the backseat when you leave. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
What would you eat if you had to start over?
Real simple, poor man's, poor woman's food. Black beans, chicken, rice, plantains.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Here we go. Hour two, NBA finals tonight. Frank Isola in five minutes. Great to be here. Been a rambunctious week. Miles Garrett to the LA Rams. Aaron Donald, is he coming out of retirement? It is wild. World Cup next week. We are all fired up. So we always do this. Whenever there's an NBA final, conference championship, World Series, a massive series that everybody's talking about, we get out the yellow pad, we write down our 10 best players in order, and it gives us sort of a sense of who should be favored in this series.
I have said there's a lot of reasons to like New York. I'm going to take the Spurs in six. I think they've got the best player, home court advantage. I do think a lot of the Knicks' streak is based on a cruddy Eastern Conference, but they're playing out of their mind. They have a great roster composition. And so here we go. Here's my top 10 players in the NBA Finals. Number one, okay, it's Wemby. He's got 35 more rebounds and 28 more blocked shots than any other player in the post season. Spurs are 39 and six since February one, when he just plays 15 minutes. He changes the calculus on the floor. like nobody else. I don't think his offensive game is quite refined yet or consistent, but he also helps other players.
This team leads the league in corner threes. That's because of Wemby. He's number one. Number two, Jalen Brunson. Listen, the NBA's best plus 226 with him on the court this postseason.
