## Resource

We start a new week of Game Over, and Max and Rich are still catching their breath from an instant classic between UConn and Duke (4:24). Which team in the Final Four will win the title? Today’s Five-Minute Max gets into the case against Barry Bonds. Max thinks he’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but should he be up there with baseball’s greatest hitters (23:18)? Rich wonders whether the “wow factor” is gone in today’s generation in Monday’s Get Rich Quick (29:17). Then, they dive into the foul-baiting dilemma in the NBA and whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gets a bad rap for making great plays (38:52). All this, plus your emails and a conversation about Michael Jordan saying that there should be no GOAT debate (58:03). Keep emailing the show!
