Cavs Getting Swept?, Can Houston Win Game 2?, New Michael Jordan Doc | Out of Bounds

On today's episode of #OutofBounds, sports announcer and commentator Mauro Ranallo joins Gilbert Arenas, Adam Caparell, and Pierce Simpson to discuss the Celtics beating the Cavs despite a monster game from LeBron James to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals. With King James clearly giving his all — returning from a scary head shot to post a 42-point triple-double — the panel points fingers at the teammates who need to step their game up. One player who would be excused if he were underperforming is Celtics guard Marcus Smart, who revealed that his mom is undergoing chemotherapy treatments for bone marrow cancer but wants him to remain focused on basketball. Mauro — who had to do a broadcast after losing a close family member — and Gil talk about trying to perform at your best when you're enduring a personal tragedy. Looking ahead to tonight's Game 2 between Houston and Golden State, OOB asks if the Rockets can “withstand” Kevin Durant going off, as head coach Mike D'Antoni said they could after he torched them for 37 points in Game 1. Are the Rockets capable of shutting down one or more of the Dubs' other stars? Plus, the panel makes their picks for the game. Then, with the NBA Draft Lottery over and the Suns now in possession of the first overall pick, the crew debates whom Phoenix should draft at No. 1. Also, Gil explains why the NBA's new draft lottery format designed to eliminate tanking won't actually stop the league's annual race to the bottom. After ESPN Films and Netflix announced Tuesday that they will be releasing a 10-part documentary series on Michael Jordan in 2019, the guys ask if it will reveal anything we don't know about MJ or just show younger generations why he is the GOAT over LeBron and Kobe. Plus, Gil lets Mauro know why Jordan's return to play for the Wizards wasn't the typical case of an athlete being unwilling to move on from their playing career. With his own documentary, Bipolar Rock 'N' Roller, premiering next Friday, May 25, on Showtime, Mauro explains the motivation behind the project, which candidly discusses his mental health issues. Plus, Gil opens up about his battle with depression and how he learned to be himself. Finally, with philanthropic hedge fund manager and outspoken Trump critic David Tepper expected to buy the Panthers for a record-setting $2.2 billion, OOB asks if he is precisely the kind of owner the NFL needs now. Does politics even matter when it comes to the bottom-line business of NFL ownership?

Most "Talented" Ever? One NBA Finals MVP Thinks That of Kevin Durant
Most "Talented" Ever? One NBA Finals MVP Thinks That of Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant is—as the kids would say—a bucket. At 6'11" with handles like a guard and lethal outside shooting ability, KD is like a scientifically designed matchup problem for practically every defender in the league. His teammates know just how special Durant is. In a recent interview with Ben Golliver of Sports Illustrated, Andre Iguodala went so far as to say Durant is the most talented scorer ever to play the game. "People don't appreciate him enough," Iguodala said. "He's the most talented scorer of all time. Hands down. He's a walking 30 points. He'll get 30 on 12 shots. That's very, very hard to do. Very efficient. Most guys need to feel the ball in their hands a lot to get a rhythm. He doesn't."

LeBron James Is Reportedly Trying to Recruit Stars to Cleveland

LeBron James has not yet announced his free agency decision, and he probably won't for another month or so, but people are starting to believe he might actually return to Cleveland. The likelihood of that outcome, of course, would increase if the Cavs could improve their roster—and apparently LeBron is doing what he can to bring in fellow stars. Ryen Russillo of ESPN appeared on SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt after Thursday night's draft and shared as much.

Shaquille O'Neal Advises LeBron Not to Make Same Mistakes

Shaquille O'Neal has some solid career advice for Lebron James and he's speaking from personal experience. The retired Hall of Fame center spent the last few seasons of his 19-year career chasing championships and hopping from team to team. He does not want James, 33, to make the same mistake. In an interview with ESPN on Friday night, O'Neal explained, "My problem toward the end of my career was I was trying to shut everybody up and I was greedy. After I got to three [titles], everybody was saying I couldn't get another. So I got four. After I got the fourth, they were saying I couldn't get another one. So I was trying to make quick stops to get it. Phoenix, Cleveland, Boston."
