Should MVPs Have a Ring? Draymond's Debate, Kuminga's Fallout, and NFL QB Rankings. | Game Over

from Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul · host The Ringer

We kick off the show by reacting to a debate that Draymond Green sparked about whether a regular-season MVP or a championship-winning first option matters more, using Jalen Brunson's and SGA's playoff runs against the Spurs as a real-world test case. Then Rich breaks down Jonathan Kuminga's free agency journey—turning down a bigger offer from the Lakers for a two-year, $12.4 million "prove-it" deal with the Timberwolves. The guys wrap with NFL talk, debating who should be considered a top-five quarterback by the end of the season, with cases for Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Matthew Stafford.
