About this episode

On this episode of The Colin Cowherd Podcast, Colin explains why Giannis is the perfect antidote to the LeBron-dominated NBA era, and why the Bucks are actually helping the TV ratings (1:00). Then, FS1's First Things First co-host Nick Wright and Colin discuss if Giannis has cemented his status as the NBA's best player (8:00), how the expectations for the Suns got out of hand (12:00), why analytics have become embarrassingly inaccurate during the playoffs (15:00), the surprising advantage that small-market teams have (26:00), why the Bucks remind them of the New England Patriots (29:00), how the 2013 NBA Draft looks totally bizarre now (33:00), and the mental gift that Giannis shares with PGA Tour pros (42:00). They also lay out their predictions for Game 6.
