The NBA MVP race is heating up… but this episode goes WAY beyond that.

We break down the 2025/26 NBA awards race, debate Nikola Jokic vs Shai Gilgeous-Alexander vs Luka Doncic, and dive into playoff matchups, rookie classes, and the future of teams like OKC, Spurs, and Houston.

But as always… we go completely off the rails.

From LeBron debates, to Giannis trade talk, to wild tangents, mispronunciations, and unfiltered takes — this is Old Head Hoops at its absolute best.

Giannis trade chatter 👀
