Dirk's Game 2 Layup with Jason Gallagher

In 2006 the Dallas Mavericks lost in the NBA finals to the Wade and Shaq led Miami Heat. (Thanks in large part to an astounding 96 free throws by D-Wade…) Later in the 2011 NBA Finals, Nowitzki would find himself on the precipice of rewriting NBA history with one fateful lefty lay. Jason Gallagher, of The Old Man and The Three, joins the pod to discuss the ugliest jerseys in the NBA, the hubris of the Heatles, and the handful of moments that define one’s legacy.
