Episode synopsis
Game Over closes out 2025 by diving into the Nikola Jokic injury: What does it mean for the Nuggets and could it be a blessing in disguise (6:13)? Then, the fellas discuss athletes reaching their potential, particularly in the cases of Cam Reddish and Ben Simmons (18:56). Rich subsequently breaks down the difference in perception when it comes to a player’s journey versus what their ultimate goal may be. Do professional athletes want to play in their hometown; should Anthony Davis try and work his way back home to Chicago? Bill Simmons later offers up a spicy trade for Max and Rich to ponder—who would say no to a LeBron James and Jimmy Butler trade (43:44)? All this, plus a quick take on the CFP quarterfinals, then Max has a win-win way to make your New Year’s resolution!
