Of Ja, Pau, and Replacement

In this episode of the often hung-on #BallisBae NBA Podcast, Vineet and Ashwin talk about the Ja situation in Memphis. We discuss whether it is the wrong image he seeks, or he got wrong friends, or something to do with his father. We also talk about recent jersey retiree Pau Gasol who, in Vineet's opinion, was robbed of at least one MVP trophy. Lastly, we discuss our pick for the Maurice Podoloff MVP Trophy as we harper on about Jokic or No Jokic in our discussions.
