The Annual NBA GM Survey Results. Plus, LeBron’s Injury and “Second Decision.”

Howard Beck and Raja Bell are back with another edition of Real Ones, and they open the pod with Raja’s notable absence on The Ringer’s list of the 21st century’s best NBA names. Plus, who are the best teams in NBA history to never win a championship? Is it the 2018 Rockets team with James Harden and CP3? Could it be the early 2000s Kings teams that ran into the Lakers, or perhaps one of Raja’s Suns teams? For the first time in his career, LeBron James will not play in the season opener due to sciatica. How will this affect the Lakers out the gate, and was LeBron’s “second decision” an error in judgment? Plus, the annual NBA GMs survey has been released. Some of the results might surprise you.
