Reese, Kmac, Pam, and Alex speak with Dr. Deborah Stroman.

Dr. Stroman breaks down Game 1 of the NBA Finals and challenges the Sports Shop crew with several thought-provoking questions: How do you defend Jalen Brunson? Is Victor Wembanyama being unfairly labeled as soft? What would a Knicks championship mean for Karl-Anthony Towns' legacy? And does God favor athletes in competition?

The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, stealing home-court advantage in the process. Jalen Brunson led New York with 30 points, though he needed 31 shots to reach the mark. Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 points and 12 rebounds while playing a key defensive role against Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds, but the Spurs came up short as the Knicks took a 1-0 series lead.
