Giannis gets into it courtside, the Lakers collapse, and the NFL Draft leaves fans stunned — welcome to another wild ride on The Crossover.
Hosted by Andy Hernandez, Keyon Dooling, and Nevin Shapiro, this episode breaks down the biggest NBA playoff drama and dives deep into the most shocking storylines from the 2025 NFL Draft. If you're into unfiltered sports talk with real insight, this is the episode you need to hear.
We start with the Lakers’ early playoff exit and Rudy Gobert’s dominant performance, then jump into the viral moment between Giannis and Halliburton’s dad that shook up the league. The hosts debate whether Tom Thibodeau's time is up in New York and if Pat Riley should finally pass the torch to Erik Spoelstra after the Heat’s humiliating sweep. On the NFL side, Nico Casares joins to break down draft winners, surprise picks, and Shedeur Sanders’ dramatic fall. We also cover Bill Belichick’s off-field drama and how it may have cost him a spot on Hard Knocks. From the NBA to the NFL, The Crossover delivers bold takes and deep analysis in one episode.
