The Give and Go is a quick back and forth between Paul Mitchell and Chris St. Jean about a relevant subject in the NBA at that moment.

Chris: I’m going to get a little philosophical and a little science fiction on you here Mitchell and it’s totally inspired by this amazing piece on SB Nation by Jon Bois capping off their NBA Y2K series.
In the post, Bois ‘played God’ by slowly killing the game of basketball in basically the same way that the evil mastermind behind the Monstars would have done if Michael and Bugs hadn’t won Muggsy Bogues’s (obligatory Muggsy Bogues reference!) talent back. He sapped the NBA of all of its’ talent and as the years went by the league crumbled in on itself.
That got me thinking. I’ve never given the thought to the NBA or the sport of basketball as we know it coming to an ‘end’. The end is so final. It’s incomprehensible. But for a moment, let’s consider, how does the NBA or the sport of professional basketball come to an end, Mitchell?
