Kyrie Craves the Spotlight, a Sports Gambling Horror Story + NBA Playoff Best Bets

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by explaining why Kyrie Irving saying that he 'revolutionized' the game and deserved to be on the NBA75 is blasphemous. Not only is he not one of the top 75 players in NBA history, but it almost feels like he's trying to take attention away from the NBA Playoffs. Typical Kyrie, if you ask me. Later, J-Mac shares his thoughts on the reports that Phil Mickelson lost over $40 million over a four year span while gambling on sports. What on Earth was this man gambling on?!? Either way, now that sports wagering is becoming more widespread, you should probably expect more stories like this to pop up moving forward.  Finally, Jason closes the show with an extended weekend edition of the Best Bet featuring a slew of NBA playoff games. Can the Philadelphia 76ers cover the Game 3 spread without Joel Embiid? Will the Boston Celtics suffocating defense travel to Milwaukee? Can Steph Curry get back on track now that the series is shifting back to the Bay Area? We've got the answers to all of those questions - and so much more!
