Old friend of the show Mo Dakhil joins KOC to preview the NBA Finals in full — how both guys landed on the Oklahoma City Thunder to take care of business in 5 games. BUT the guys play out the scenario, “what is the path to an Indiana Pacers Finals victory?” PLUS during the taping — the guys’ live reaction to the stunning breaking news that the New York Knicks were parting ways with Thibs! Dakhil says New York should reunite with Jeff Van Gundy to go for some real Garden Nostalgia.
Up next, Corey Tulaba and KOC weigh in on which NBA Draft Prospects have a real level of toughness, nastiness and tenacity. After a physical and grueling NBA Playoffs, Kevin and Corey discuss the 1st Round names that aren’t afraid to mix things up and get their hands dirty. Some names discussed: Kon Knueppel, Tre Johnson, Jeremiah Fears, Noa Essengue, Cedric Coward, Carter Bryant and more.
