It’s NBA Finals Friday, and Covino & Rich kick off with the dumbest, funniest debate of the playoffs. Elmo posted that he hopes “both teams have fun” in Knicks-Spurs, the internet roasted him into the ground, and the guys turn it into a full referendum on whether you HAVE to pick a side in anything. Rich finally admits where he stands (lifelong New Yorker, San Antonio in-laws), Covino drags him as “Richmo,” and the Gary Vaynerchuk rule about never rooting against someone’s happiness goes on trial. Then it gets expensive. Jalen Brunson’s now-viral answer to what show he’d pay $7,500 to see (the price of one Knicks ticket), why a Game 3 seat at the Garden is pushing $12,000, and the bigger question of why people keep buying what they can’t afford. Plus a full He-Man nostalgia spiral for the Gen-X dads, Brainwave Friday with a contestant who steals the show, and Karl-Anthony Towns shutting down Wembanyama as our Pro of the Week.
