Dr. Tom "The Scientist" Haberstroh, Pulitzer Prize Winner Amin Elhassan... and producer Anthony Mayes question Wemby's barefoot agenda.
Author Jonathan Abrams joins the show to discuss his new book "When We Were Young And Fearless" that covers the formation and dissolution of the Thunder's first great team with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
We revisit the crucial roster decisions that altered the course of NBA history, from Jeff Green's swap for Kendrick Perkins, Presti's one-hour ultimatum to Harden and Durant’s departure for Golden State.
Plus, the failed Tyson Chandler trade, the Thunder’s biggest what-ifs, lessons for Wemby’s Spurs, and determining which Wire characters best represent the core Thunder pieces.
