With the 2020-2021 season in the rearview mirror, Matt and I discuss the Pistons end to the regular season, and their draft lottery odds.

We'll take more about his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame, his legacy as a player and just what made him so special. I'll also go on a bit of a rant against a certain Ringer personality and their gripe with Wallace being selected into the Hall of Fame.

He also writes for SB Nation's CelticsBlog and you can follow more of his draft and NBA coverage on his YouTube channel.
