Hour 1: Christmas Day in the NBA

ESPN, Stephen A. Smith, Molly Qerim Rose
About this episode

In this special Christmas episode, Stephen A. Smith, Shams Charania, and Kendrick Perkins debate a slew of NBA topics, including if the Warriors or the Lakers are more likely to miss the playoffs and if the Knicks are the biggest threat to the Celtics in the East. Plus, the crew tells us who they would take over Victor Wembanyama right now. Jeff Saturday and Kimberley A. Martin join the festivities to tell us what they would rather see: a Chiefs threepeat or the Lions or Bills winning their first Super Bowl. And, we debate if Lamar Jackson has been the most impressive QB this season.
