Shaquille O'Neal Says Giannis Will be the Best Player in the League | Sunday Punch Podcast
Apparently, Giannis has to average 30, win hell in a cell, DPOY, and deliver a baby to get MVP Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is back in the MVP race after a strong week! Antetokounmpo made it all possible by draining a 3-pointer with 18 seconds left in regulation to force OT vs the Brooklyn Nets. A shot that moved him past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as Milwaukee’s all-time leading scorer. Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James are each averaging a league-best 30.1 points per game, with Embiid at 30.0 points per game. Jokic, who won MVP last season, is ninth in the league in scoring at 26.5 points per game but also is second in rebounds and leads all big men with eight assists per game. Antetokounmpo won MVP in 2019 and 2020. Embiid has yet to win the award. Sunday Punch is a Chicago podcast that talks about sports, pop culture, and politics. Looking for guests!

Reaction to Aaron Rodgers and Packers shocking loss to 49ers | The Sunday Punch Podcast
Adam gives his instant reaction to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers losing in an upset to Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL Playoff Divisional Round. The 49ers were led by a fantastic performance from DeMeco Ryans' defense, which held Aaron Rodgers and Co. in check throughout the game. Do-it-all offensive weapon Deebo Samuel had a monster game (13 touches for 83 yards, plus a 45-yard kick return), and made the key play at the end, converting a third-and-7 run for a first down to set up Robbie Gould's game-winning field goal.

Can the New England Patriots WIN the SUPER BOWL??
Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are back on top of the AFC! Football fans had spent years waiting for Tom Brady to age out of top form and for the Pats’ dynasty to fall apart, but they kept winning Super Bowls: after the 2014 season, and the 2016 season, and the 2018 season. They dominated the league long after everyone reluctantly acknowledged that all of their key figures were legendary. But when Brady left the Patriots for the Buccaneers in March 2020, fans breathed a long-awaited sigh of relief. For a year or so, New England seemed to be flailing. In 2020, the New England Patriots signed Cam Newton and finished under .500 for the first time since 2000. They clearly needed a long-term Brady replacement at quarterback, but their draft pick wasn’t high enough to take any of the first four QBs off the board in 2021. But now the Pats are back! New England is 9-4, riding a seven-game winning streak. On Monday, the Patriots played their main AFC East competition, the Bills, and bullied them. Incredible winds rendered passing and kicking nearly impossible in that game. You’d think Buffalo would be best prepared for Buffalo weather, but the Pats were the ones who showed up ready to play. They only asked Mac Jones to throw three passes while the offense ran the ball 46 times for 222 yards. Head coach Bill Belichick was downright gleeful at the result, smiling on the sideline for the first time in years. The Sunday Punch Podcast debates whether this Patriots team can win the Super Bowl! The Patriots are in sole possession of first place in the AFC, as they’re a half-game up on the Titans, Ravens, and Chiefs. That might not sound like much, but New England boasts the seventh-easiest remaining strength of schedule, while Baltimore and Kansas City have schedules that rank among the 10 most difficult in the league. How important is the no. 1 seed? Nothing explains this better than the Patriots’ dynastic run. In the eight years the Brady-led Pats had the top seed and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs, they made six Super Bowl appearances and won it all three times. It’s possible they performed so well because they were clearly the best team in these years, but the structural advantages provided by the NFL playoff format helped. The no. 1 seed is even more important now under the 14-team playoff format that the league adopted in 2020. Now, only the top team in each conference gets a first-round bye. Everyone else must play in the wild-card round. In the four years that the Brady-led Pats had to play in the wild-card round, New England never made the Super Bowl.

Ben Simmons MUST be Traded by the Philadelphia 76ers!
The standoff between the Philadelphia 76ers and NBA All-Star Ben Simmons does not seem to be any closer to a resolution. Simmons remains away from the team as he tends to his mental health, preparing himself to return to the court. He is also receiving treatment for a back ailment. The 76ers are holding out hope that Simmons will return to play with them, but that seems more and more unlikely with each passing day. At this point, a trade still seems like the most likely outcome should a team step up with an offer that appeases Daryl Morey and the team’s front office. As long as Embiid is healthy and in the lineup, this team is still going to be a very competitive one in the Eastern Conference. Seeing how well they performed to start the season, they could be more open to moving Simmons. Plenty of teams around the league want to acquire him, but there are a few that might need him more than others. As the Sunday Punch Podcast sees it, there are only three options: - Jerami Grant - CJ Mccollum - Pascal Siakam Would the two biggest 76ers fans accept any of these scraps from the table?

The Los Angeles Lakers 2021 NBA Playoff Run [The Los Angeles Lakers Future]
The Lakers have a number of other free agents to consider this offseason as well. Talen Horton-Tucker will be restricted, meaning the Lakers can match any offer that another team makes for him. Alex Caruso, Markieff Morris and Wesley Matthews are all unrestricted, so the Lakers do not have match rights. Montrezl Harrell has a player option, so he can choose to opt-out and test free agency, though, given his underwhelming postseason, he may rather take the $11 million on his option for next season. Throw in Schroder and the money the Lakers already have committed to LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Kyle Kuzma. The Lakers would have to absorb one of the biggest luxury tax bills in NBA history to keep last season's roster together. Plus Damien Lillard WILL NEVER COME TO THE LAKERS!
