Game Over with Max Kellerman and  Rich Paul

Sports media veteran Max Kellerman and super-agent Rich Paul discuss the most pressing topics in sports and culture.

The Ringer

Rich is on vacation, so today Max is joined by Ringer favorite Van Lathan Jr. They kick off the show with the Clippers' groundbreaking punishment and what it means for the future of the franchise. Was it really all worth it? They get into the latest updates on LSU and its new battle with the SEC. Van gets Max going on some boxing headlines before talking about Belichick’s big win versus TCU. That somehow leads to a conversation about Brunson being the best in the NBA.

Max and Rich kick off with some hot takes in the cold open, talking about private equity in professional sports leagues before getting into the news taking over the NFL with Aaron Donald coming back to the Rams.

Then, they talk a little bit of Giants, with OBJ making the 53-man roster, before breaking down the 49ers scammer. Is ever too hot to go to a football game? USC fans seem to think so; they discuss if Trojan fans should have braved the L.A. heatwave before chatting about Red Sox fans complaining about a call in a blowout game.

Lakers Are Rolling, Shaky Ground in Philly, and Some Hot Takes From NBA Legends | Game Over

We start a new week of Game Over, and Max and Rich are still catching their breath from an instant classic between UConn and Duke (4:24). Which team in the Final Four will win the title? Today’s Five-Minute Max gets into the case against Barry Bonds. Max thinks he’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but should he be up there with baseball’s greatest hitters (23:18)? Rich wonders whether the “wow factor” is gone in today’s generation in Monday’s Get Rich Quick (29:17). Then, they dive into the foul-baiting dilemma in the NBA and whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gets a bad rap for making great plays (38:52).

Face of the NBA, More on Tanking, and a College Basketball Primer

This year’s NBA All-Star Game was a win (5:05). Why? Was it the format or the players' attitudes? Max still thinks a tweak could make it even better.

Today’s edition of Five Minute Max (31:08) touches on baseball’s upcoming labor war and what the issues are.

NBA Positivity: A Winning All-Star Game and a Look Ahead to the Stretch Run

After discussing Rich’s busy day ahead of All-Star Weekend, the guys get into some NBA incentives (7:44): first, a possible fix to the draft that would help with tanking. Rich has a great idea, but Max wants to remind everyone that perfect is the enemy of good—we just need some improvement. Next, Max pitches an incentive-driven fix for the All-Star Game (30:35). Rich agrees; however, he still wants to look at the bigger picture and make sure that everyone is thinking about the future. Finally, the fellas touch on James Harden’s recent comment on loyalty (49:13), Evan Turner’s comment about fitting in, and rotary phones!

Super Bowl Stars, Bad Bunny’s Big Night, and Kevin Durant’s Decision

Rich is relieved now that the NBA trade deadline has passed, and Max is alongside him to break down which teams were the most aggressive about improving now and for the future (4:53). Also, are the NBA’s soft cap and the NFL’s hard cap actually reversed, and does the NBA need to borrow some of the NFL’s salary flexibility structure? Then, can an injury lead to a dynasty like Steph Curry’s Warriors, and can a team’s drafting continue or end those dynasties (17:28)? Georgetown’s Ed Cooley lamented that kids don't know how to fail today, and Rich explains why this aligns with why he believes youth sports are broken (26:51). Max wonders whether the younger generation has become softer or whether things have just become better for them. Then, it’s on to the big game (35:04)! Max and Rich give their picks for Super Bowl LX, predict who’ll be the star coming out of the game, and talk about why turnovers are the key for the Patriots. Could Robert Kraft actually look better than either Tom Brady or Bill Belichick now that a new era of New England is making it to the Super Bowl? And could decades of that winning culture play a role in determining the winner?

Then, the fellas go around the association, starting with the Cavaliers’ outlook for the rest of the season and beyond, before touching on the Celtics and the Bulls (23:00).

All this, plus why Pro Football Hall of Fame voters should stop using their ballots to file complaints. And can Max be trusted with any of Rich’s basketball information before Thursday afternoon?
