The show begins with today’s hottest NBA topic, tanking (4:58). However, Max and Rich's thoughts on the matter and how big of an issue it is may surprise you. There’s a recent quote from Pat Riley going around (36:24) that has the guys thinking about where the league is heading, some of its development issues, and competition in general. Finally, today’s Five-Minute Max (43:47) made Rich take some notes on science vs. religion, disproving a hypothesis, and the two recent Super Bowl QBs.
