KG on the Lakers’ Panic Level, Jokic vs Shai and Why the West Just Changed | TICKET & THE TRUTH

Kevin Garnett & Paul Pierce are back together for one of the realest basketball conversations of the season. Ticket and Truth break down the Lakers’ injury panic, Jokic vs Shai in the MVP race, Denver and OKC on a collision course in the West, the playoff picture in both conferences, Michigan’s championship run, and the chaos taking over college basketball in the NIL and transfer portal era. KG and Paul get into what Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves going down means for LeBron’s last real shot at a title run, why Jokic can still be the best player in the league even if Shai wins MVP, and which teams are actually built for playoff pressure. They also debate Mike Malone heading to The University of North Carolina, the transfer portal, international recruiting, and “Fresh Air” segment on stars who may need a new situation.
