76ers are DANGEROUS, Knicks in trouble, 2026 Draft is OVERRATED? | Nerd Sesh x State of the League
The nerds are joined by Jokic Joestar and Pablo Escoball of the State of the League podcast to discuss why teams like the Charlotte Hornets & Philadelphia 76ers stand out as top upset threats, and the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons are in danger of being upset. Then, they debate whether the 2026 NBA Draft is actually overrated and whether or not there is a place for small guards like Darius Acuff Jr. in the modern NBA.

Logan looks thrilled to be here
I have it on good authority that we're dealing with a Face/Off situation and Pablo is concealing his new face until it's healed. The question is…who did he trade faces with?!?
Hot Tunes TV China NBA???
is it even an upset if everybody is saying the pistons will lose round 1/2?
Wish the guests weren't here
Esdeekid on the pod 🔥
OMG ITS MY GOATS POOP AND PEE! Welcome to the Turd Sesh!
Need more collabs
no more pistons talk please
Funny hearing Carson banking on the Lakers losing the Cavs game 😂 then going on his usual tirade about last year's Lakers against the Wolves
Feel like yall are just brushing off the rockets so easily thats series will not be sweet for the lakers 💀
The Nerds went too far, why is there a member of the Taliban comenting about NBA playoff upsets?
Pablo is wearing is iconic hat again
Logan looks so lost this episode LMAO
Charles Lee was joe mazullas assistant
GIMP SUIT ON THE POD LFG
I don't think Luka is the MVP this year just based off the stretch of the season where it was really rough vs the consistency and clutch play of SGA, but this is multiple platforms where "Luka fans" have this "Bernie Bro" reputation (when Bernie Bro is used in a derogatory sense) and they're doing no favors to his case either. I think it was Zach Lowe who brings up "upsetting Luka stans" before he jumps into talking about Luka and it obviously influences how he's perceived
44:20 dont forget he also needs his secret sauce
Bones is bouta get bizzy in these playoffs fr
I am convinced not a single person on this pod has watched a Laker game since last years play offs.
The 2nd half of this episode is just the Riddler ridiculing the Nerd Sesh guys for their affinity for guys that are 6'7" or shorter
