About this episode

On today's episode, ESPN NBA reporter and podcast host Brian Windhorst joins Jason for a lengthy NBA discussion. During the interview, Windhorst discusses how the NFL has taken over the early part of the NBA season, how the Golden State Warriors have come roaring back this season after a couple of down years, if the Minnesota Timberwolves' repeated front office missteps will be enough to push Karl-Anthony Towns out the door, why Giannis Antetokounmpo signing that max extension last offseason doesn't necessarily mean he'll stay with the Bucks for the duration of the deal, why it's so refreshing to see the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards playing so well early in the season, Zion Williamson's long and strange offseason, if the Los Angeles Lakers wish they had a do-over on the Russell Westbrook trade, and much more! Later, Jason closes the show with a very special Atlanta Falcons vs New England Patriots Thursday Night Football edition of the Best Bet.
