In this Game 7 special of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, D Wright, Bob, and Chris Johnson jump on live mid-Finals action from home to break down the biggest night in basketball. As OKC storms past Indiana to claim the title, the crew reacts in real-time to Tyrese Haliburton’s devastating early injury, dissect how it shifted the Pacers' rhythm, and credit OKC’s depth and poise on the biggest stage.
They spotlight Alex Caruso’s surprising offensive impact, Chet Holmgren’s unicorn-like evolution, and SGA’s crowning moment as both regular season and Finals MVP. The conversation goes deeper—debating legacy, leadership styles, the shifting landscape of dynasties in today’s NBA, and whether Russell Westbrook deserves more flowers.
Plus, the guys reflect on building The Timeout since the Luka trade, celebrate the platform’s fast rise, and tease a pivot toward deeper convos—from barbershop talk to fatherhood—in the offseason.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
