Anthony Edwards' Block vs. Anthony Edwards' Dunk with Zach Harper

First Ballot: The Hall of Fame Podcast

Our first true emergency podcast! Two monster plays in two weeks from one rising superstar, Anthony Edwards. And who better to help us navigate which of these two plays should be in the FBHOF than Zach Harper (@talkhoops) of The Athletic. On this episode we talk sp5der hoodies, horse noises, thrunks, and the perfectly balanced omegablade that Thanos carries around on his index finger.
