Of course no list episode is complete without also taking a look at the top worse shoes.

All Star rosters are out and while we may (or may not) have many qualms with the starters, I think the reserves have some question marks. We will dissect that in this episode and maybe Roger’s Celtics... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ball-and-beats/message

The term Superstar is thrown around too loosely, Roger & Mendo breakdown what a Superstar really is! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ball-and-beats/message

Careful what you wish for with trades...is it really worth it? Nets have firepower but what's their ceiling with limited rebounding and suspect defense? Philly is winning but Simmons is shooting even less than before. Do they continue with the experiment or should they try to maximize Simmons’ trade value now? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ball-and-beats/message

Free Agency Madness! Lakers reload and weaken Clippers at the same time. Looks like Philly found a taker for Horford, but does he stay in OKC? Boston/Charlotte collide again and Houston appears to be running it back with Harden and Russ. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ball-and-beats/message

Now that the Lakers are the champs again, all the narratives are out…. How can you be considered one of the Greatest Big Men if you don't want to be labeled a big man? The case can be made for AD being a great, but if not as a center, the field gets crowded. Who is he bumping out of the top spots?  The fans and the media are at it again, the forever rate race to dethrone and crown a king. Is it all worth it? Isn't being a top 5 alone a huge accomplishment? How much of this ongoing debate is being fueled by LBJ? join us for our takes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ball-and-beats/message

Can the Nuggets finally get some respect? They deserve it! The Clippers couldn't get any production from what is supposed to be the deepest team. Our matchup thoughts for the conference finals + our predictions.  Western Conference: Will AD be tasked by Milsap, who is having sort of a resurgence. Can the Nuggets afford to wait until games 3 and 4 to adjust? Eastern Conference: Who do the Celtics put on Butler? Kemba should be able to eat up the midrange.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ball-and-beats/message
