The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Is Cade Cunningham getting the respect he deserves… or is the hype machine in overdrive?

This week on Alley Oop, Juju and Trysta welcome Zach Harper from The Athletic for a full-on NBA debate episode — and things get SPICY.

We kick things off with the big question:


Is Cade Cunningham an MVP candidate… or are we getting ahead of ourselves?
Does he deserve praise for carrying Detroit — or shade for the results?

From there, the besmirching spreads:


Are the Spurs the second-best team in the West?


Can ANYONE beat Team USA in Olympic basketball?


Who are the true powerhouses — East vs West?


Why won’t Luka shoot when he’s WIDE OPEN?!


Kelsey Plum does an Aliyah Boston elbow impression and we cannot recover.

It’s debates, hot takes, chaos, and a LOT of shade.

If you love NBA debates, spicy basketball takes, and zero chill analysis — you’re in the right place.
