Josh, Dustin, and Raul are back from an extended break to react to the Celtics winning the NBA title. Jayson Tatum becomes just the eighth Duke player to win an NBA championship, leading his team in points, rebounds, and assists in the playoffs. What does this do for his legacy? Were the voters right to award Finals MVP to Jaylen Brown, or was Tatum snubbed? Will Tatum and the Celtics win more rings going forward? Where does this place Tatum in the pantheon of greatest Duke players in NBA history?

They also talk about the future of the Mavericks, who likewise had Duke players filling prominent roles in Dereck Lively and Kyrie Irving. Was this just a one-off for them? What can they do to improve their roster to put them over the top?

Then they debate who the next Duke player to be the face of a title-winning team will be. Who are the most realistic candidates? What do those players have to do -- and what do their front offices have to do -- to get there?

Lastly, they react briefly to the player teaser videos released by Duke Men's Basketball's social media team this week. What, and who, stood out?
