Whether you’re a die-hard hoops fan or just here for the chaos, the Swish List Podcast has you covered for the most unpredictable NBA post-season yet! 🏀

In our Season 3 Finale, Mo and Roman break down the wild 2026 Play-In tournament matchups. From the end of the Warriors' dynasty to the rise of the Charlotte Hornets, we’re making our boldest predictions yet. Can Steph Curry pull off one last miracle against Kawhi and the Clippers? Are the Hornets actually the scariest team in the East?

We also dive deep into the highly anticipated Anthony Edwards vs. Nikola Jokic rematch, discuss why Doc Rivers is already out in Milwaukee, and debate if LeBron James has officially become the "Kim Kardashian of basketball" on social media.
