## Resource

Today is “Wayback Wednesday.” Game 1 of the NBA Finals is tonight as the San Antonio Spurs get ready to play the New York Knicks at Frost Bank Center. We break down the NBA Finals Series. We break down Victor Wembanyama’s emotional outpour after winning the Western Conference Finals. The Texas Longhorns’ softball team defended its National Championship in a rematch of last year’s title game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. New England Patriots’ newly acquired receiver AJ Brown addressed the issues with former Philadelphia Eagles’ teammate Jalen Hurts. NFL’s Organized Team Activities have started, so we're giving some early updates. “The World’s Strongest Take!” Plus, a conversation with Danny Davis of the Austin American-Statesman on talking Texas women’s basketball and Texas baseball as they start the Super Regional Round. You can hear it all here on “The Morning Kickoff Show!”
