The Ringer’s Bill Simmons is joined by Joe House to discuss the history behind perennial NBA playoff contenders that never secured a title, and what that history says about the Brown/Tatum Celtics (2:36), before they are joined by Raheem Palmer to run through some of their favorite NBA Finals bets (48:30). Then Bill talks with The Ringer’s lifelong Nuggets fan Chuck Mindenhall about rooting for the Nuggets for the last few decades, Nikola Jokic's NBA journey, Heat-Nuggets thoughts, and more (1:13:42). Finally Bill is joined by Nathan Hubbard to get some context on Taylor Swift's concert tour that is setting record numbers while morphing into a cultural phenomenon (1:43:56).
