Season 4 EP 4 - Not The Eye Test

This week on The Gotham Hour, we’re joined by special guest @vonlaflare for a full conversation about the way we watch, judge, and debate sports. We kick things off with the NBA and ask a question every basketball fan has an opinion on: How much should we trust the eye test? Sometimes a team looks great on the court, but does that actually tell us who they are? We break down why the eye test can be misleading and what really matters when evaluating NBA teams. Then we get into the MVP conversation. What does being the Most Valuable Player actually mean? Is it simply about having the best numbers, being the best player in the league, carrying your team, winning games, or a combination of everything? We discuss what the MVP's "job" really is and how the award should be judged. Football is officially back, so we also react to the Jets and Giants Week 1 results, what stood out from both New York teams, and what those performances could tell us moving forward. Finally, we turn our attention to the New York Knicks and the NBA landscape. Which teams should Knicks fans actually be worried about? We talk about the biggest threats standing between New York and another deep playoff run. Drop your takes in the comments and let us know where you agree or disagree.
