3AS5: SGA & Foreign MVPs vs. Homegrown Heirs to the Throne

In this explosive Memorial Day episode of 3rd & Short, Nic Nice and DJ Plum go full throttle on the NBA Playoffs. The duo unpacks the Eastern Conference battle between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers, diving into game three’s comeback and the battle of puncher’s chances. They then shift west to discuss the OKC Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves, where Ant-Man’s Game 3 takeover sparks a fiery debate: is Anthony Edwards ready to be HIM?

From predictions and overreactions to the NBA’s larger identity questions—like whether an international player can truly be the face of the league—this episode blends bold takes with cultural insight. The guys also tap into Tyrese Haliburton’s dad getting reinstated, Acuña Jr.’s fiery MLB return, and Ryan Clark’s “Superman Syndrome” on social media. It’s spicy, smart, and unapologetically 3rd & Short.
