Segment 2: The Current Raptors Squad
Next, they break down the season so far and the buzz around Gradey Dick and RJ Barrett, who are making things exciting on the court for a team that doesn't have a lot of business being this exciting. Dan throws out a wild stat: Gradey’s scored more points than any other sophomore in the NBA—a stat that catches everyone off guard. Freddie and Andy bring up how the young core has fans hopeful, with an energy that feels fun and fresh, reminding them of the Raptors’ winning mentality under Masai Ujiri.
Segment 3: MJ’s Card and the Menendez Brothers
Then comes a deep dive into one of the weirdest stories of the week: a rare Michael Jordan card shot up in value because fans noticed the Menendez brothers sitting courtside in the background! This is just straight up weird. Andy, Dan and Freddie get riffy on how this could be even weirder.
And, in classic Dunks fashion, they wrap up with some hot takes on Stephen A. Smith. While Andy confesses a soft spot for him, Dan and Freddie consider Smith the ultimate "high art clown," and agree that being a good clown is no small feat.
