NBA & NFL Mailbag: SGA better than peak KD? Wemby on GOAT path? OKC defense best ever?

Nerd Sesh

The nerds answer YOUR questions about the NBA, NFL, Thanksgiving and pretty much anything. They give their takes on which NBA players have the most scoring gravity ever, whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has surpassed peak Kevin Durant, if the OKC Thunder defense is the best since the 1960s Boston Celtics and just how high the NBA’s current top five players can climb in the all-time rankings. Then, they discuss what the ceiling is for Drake Maye, if it’s time to respect the Denver Broncos, and hand out NBA & NFL player comps for the essential Thanksgiving dishes.
