Today on No Warmup, Nick and Mikey dive into the NBA playoffs, and the wild series between the Indiana Pacers and the New York Knicks. They get into the historic comebacks that have been happening and ponder the question of whether or not momentum has a bigger impact in basketball than it does in other sports.They touch on the possibility of having a small market NBA Finals if The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers both win their conference finals, and if that is good or bad for the league. They also touch on whether or not Tyrese Haliburton's father should be allowed back into the arenas now after serving his ban. With SGA being named NBA MVP, the league has now had a non-American MVP for the last 7 years, and Nick and Mikey discuss what this means for the league.
On the football front, the fellas discuss the NFL's decision to keep the Tush Push Alive, and the implications of the play remaining in the sport. They also dive into the fact that UNC football, headed by Bill Belichick, has already sold out their season tickets for this year, and then get into the idea of whether or not alternative football leagues like the XFL or UFL will ever be successful in the United States. All of this and more on this episode of No Warmup.
