Rich recaps Ja Morant’s jaw-dropping night where the Memphis Grizzlies guard threw down 52 points on the San Antonio Spurs, and says how his meteoric rise compares to the descending comet of the player drafted before him, Zion Williamson.  Denver Nuggets Head Coach Michael Malone tells Rich when Denver is expecting the return of injured stars Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., what makes reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic so special, what he learned from spending his formative years going to work with his dad (a former coach for Syracuse and the Bad Boy Pistons), why he hopes NBA coaches NEVER go back to wearing suits during games, and what bringing a title to Denver would mean to him and the city.  Rich and the guys reflect back on the anniversary of then-Celtics head coach Rick Pitino’s infamous “Larry Bird ain’t walkin’ through that door” rant.
