Kenny Atkinson Has a FACINATING Story About Dan Gilbert
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Mon May 18 2026
Description: Ken and Lima wake up to backlash over Kenny Atkinson's postgame story about Dan Gilbert showing up to dinner the night before Game 7 and telling him Jared Allen was the key, with fans reading it as a coach who needed his billionaire owner to tell him how to use his own roster. Ken pushes back, arguing Kenny was just trying to tell a fun story and the criticism is overblown for a team now in the Eastern Conference Finals. The bigger point is that if they had lost, these same questions about Kenny, Mobley, Mitchell's contract, and Harden's extension would have consumed the entire offseason.
