Greatest Ever NBA Finals Shots, Caitlin Clark Controversy & Hanging Out with Joey Mulinaro
“Rebound Bosh, back out to Allen, his 3-pointer, BANG!” On the latest edition of Throwbacks, we celebrate the anniversary of Ray Allen’s legendary 3 against San Antonio by discussing the greatest shots in NBA Finals history. Matt also shares his thoughts on the WNBA needing to do more to protect Caitlin Clark and Jerry tells us what it was like on Power when your character was... we’ll just say, “removed” from the show.”
Then, the hilarious Joey Mulinaro checks in talking about his love for the Indiana Pacers and what it takes to craft a truly great impression. Joey also breaks out his “Mel Kiper” to analyze the draft potential of a young Matt Leinart and suggests that the impression Jerry should be working on is that of Jose Altuve.
Finally, in today’s mailbag, Matt tells us about the worst loss of his career (not including the Rose Bowl vs. Texas), and Jerry tells us about the actors that served as his mentors.

Matt’s Good Good Golf Adventure, Biggest Agitators in Sports & Playing “Guess That College”
On the latest edition of Throwbacks, Matt recaps his day at Good Good Golf’s Lonestar Shootout as Good Good personalities Jackson Hargis and Blake Mullen join the show. Jackson and Blake discuss their origin stories with the organization, share their perspective of Matt hitting someone in the crowd, and display their sports knowledge in a game of “guess that college!”
Then, we debate one of the great youth sports questions of our time: is it lame or smart for a 3rd grade little league coach to manipulate the 5-run rule in his team’s favor? Matt also reflects on some of the great agitators in sports that he’s played both with and against, and we wonder which sport you have to be in the best shape to play?

NBA Finals preview, a Night with the Savannah Bananas & Max Greenfield Talks Tom Thibodeau
Turns out getting the Knicks to the conference finals for the first time in 25 years just wasn’t quite good enough for Tom Thibodeau! On the latest edition of Throwbacks, Jerry brings former New Girl star and fellow Knicks diehard Max Greenfield back on to talk through their feelings on the team’s surprise move to fire Tom Thibodeau. Then, Matt relives his amazing night throwing out the first pitch for the Savannah Bananas and releases some nervous energy over his upcoming participation in Good Good Golf’s Lonestar Shootout.
The guys also get you ready for the start of the NBA Finals and encourage fans not to be turned off by the matchup simply because these teams play in small markets. Matt and Jerry also pay homage to the NBA on TNT and, in honor of “Inside the NBA,” list some of their all-time favorite sports TV shows.
Finally, Jerry wonders if he's ever been on a show or movie as bad as what the Colorado Rockies are to baseball this season and in our mailbag, we answer a question about having a meltdown on the field for all to see.

Knicks In Trouble, Retiring the Word “Overrated” & Emmanuelle Chriqui on the Show!
Jerry’s pain is Haliburton’s gain. On the latest episode of Throwbacks, Jerry wonders if he cares about the Knicks TOO much in the wake of their falling into a 3-1 hole against the Indiana Pacers. Has his obsession with the team actually become detrimental to his life?? Or is this just what being a fan is all about? The guys give Tyrese Haliburton his flowers and suggest that it’s time we stop slapping the “overrated” label on great players.
Then, we’re joined by former Entourage star, Emmanuelle Chriqui! Emmanuelle reflects on how she landed the role of Sloane, the storyline from the show that caused her to be genuinely mad at “E” and what she thinks her character would be up to today. Plus, Emmanuelle talks about what it was like working with Adam Sandler and how the landscape of being an actor in Hollywood has completely changed.
