In this episode, I break down 3 of the most underrated MVP seasons of the 21st century, revisiting how players like Steve Nash, Kevin Durant, and Kevin Garnett were perceived at the time versus how their value should be understood now.

Then I shift to the present and explain why I believe the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently the most complete contender in the Eastern Conference. From their balance and defensive structure to the depth of their rotation following the addition of James Harden, Dennis Schröder, and Keon Ellis, Cleveland’s versatility might give them the highest playoff floor in the conference.
