Bill Simmons sits down with his old friend Doc Rivers, now retired from coaching and joining NBC as a broadcaster, for a deep dive on NBA chemistry, the Giannis-to-Miami experiment, LeBron's late-career happiness in Philadelphia, the Luka trade, MJ memories, and the rookie class.

The back half features a sprawling mailbag (cup-chair teams, Kawhi's suspiciously timed knee swelling, the Justin Herbert-of-GMs award) and Ringer 107 picks where Simmons zigged with the Chargers and House laid big numbers with three favorites.
