Ian reflects on what made Lenny such a great player and coach, and now due to the statue unveiling this weekend, what makes him a great person. Eno Sarris, The Athletic says there's absolutely a case to be made for Cal Raleigh to overtake Aaron Judge in the MVP race. He also explores reasons to revamp the way WAR is recorded. We take a trip around the league. In The Daily Power Play! Ian thinks the Kraken trade for Fredrick Gaudreau is a sign of more to come. Don't judge this trade for face value quite yet. Ian feels the apathy toward the league that Groz expressed with Chuck and Buck this morning. He doesn't miss the NBA, he misses the Sonics and Adam Silver continues to jack Seattle around. Ian doesn't want to see he or Bruce Harrell take any victory laps when the league returns. ESPN's coverage in the NBA Finals and the Draft was abysmal.
Finally, Crosstalk with Dick Fain!
