Hour 1: Mitchell Robinson’s Pinky, Knicks Panic, and a Finals X Factor

What this episode covers

Mitchell Robinson’s broken right pinky sends Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber into full Knicks survival mode as they debate how much the injury could affect his role in the NBA Finals. With Robinson expected to play in a brace after surgery, the conversation turns to pain management, rebounding, lobs, defense, and whether the Knicks can still benefit from extra rest while their next opponent comes off a Game 7. Evan also makes the case for Robinson trying underhand free throws, sparking a lively debate about Rick Barry, Wilt Chamberlain, confidence, perception, and the awkward reality of “Hack a Mitch.” The hour expands into classic sports radio territory with Ronnie Lott, Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown, whether fans would sacrifice a pinky for a championship, and a brutally honest parenting conversation about kids dreaming of the pros.
