On this bonus episode, Uriah, Maurice, and Winston discuss the 2024 Olympic basketball games. They also get a top notch wine tasting education from master sommelier, Michael Jordan. They discuss the biggest threats to Team USA, the top players on the team, and make medal predictions. Is Anthony Edwards a top 3 player on a team packed with elite stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry? Is Serbia a legit threat to defeat Team USA? Which countries do we think will earn bronze, silver, or gold on the ultimate global basketball stage?

Michael provides insight into the wine tasting process and the characteristics of each wine, which features three wines: Jackson Estate Chardonnay, La Crema Pinot Noir, and Freemark Abbey Cabernet Sauvignon.

NBA Now & Then: The Greatest Comparisons truly appreciates Michael for joining the show and the Kendall Jackson brand for helping make this special bonus episode possible.

In the first episode of our exclusive 50 | 40 | 90 Interview Series, we discuss Larry Atkins' new book, Foul or Fair: Ethical and Social Issues in Sports. Uriah and Lucas interview Larry about various aspects of his book, but they also discuss multiple issues of ethics related to the NBA. From flopping to load management, and even tanking to sports betting, they dive into some very relevant topics that are part of daily basketball conversations.

Larry also gives his takes on our player comparisons in the end segment known as "The NBA Draft Time Machine".

You can buy Larry's book HERE and follow him on Twitter (X).

For months, we have been objective in our comparisons, but for this episode we reveal our personal picks. If players from each comparison were to be selected over the other in the same draft, who would we pick? Damian Lillard over Reggie Miller? James Harden over Allen Iverson? Jayson Tatum over Paul Pierce? We look back at these comparisons, along with all of the others, and explain who we would choose and why.

We also reflect on our most memorable episodes and laugh it up at our favorite bloopers. In the end, we list several comparison episodes that will be released in the fall for season two.

We thank all of our followers for being part of our NBA comparisons journey and hope to hear from you throughout the off-season.
