Nolan Smith | Growing up with Durant, Beasley, Kyrie Irving & Crazy Coach K Stories & National Champ

SGA is so poised, always calm and in control and should have been the MVP. This was a bad loss for the Mavs, especially when you have two of the best closers. Thibs has a reputation for running guys into the ground and we're seeing that in realtime, the Knicks are exhausted.

Bad Loss for Dallas, Thibs Running the Knicks into the Ground, and SGA should have been MVP

Darius Bazley did it his way not the traditional way. Always loved sports and truly believed he would excel at any sport he loved. When it came to hooping he fell in love with hoop but not the politics that came with it. From skipping college and signing an internship with New Balance to playing in the NBA Bubble with Shai and CP3.  Head over to PrizePicks with the promo code "RACE" at https://www.prizepicks.com/race for them to match up to a $100 in your first deposit.

Isaiah Austin Having his NBA Dreams taken away, Marfan Syndrome

Today we sit down with Juwan Morgan my guy from the days with the Maine Celtics. Starting like most guests on the show, Juwan really rocked with football and obviously we're talking to him because he transitioned to basketball. We discuss his days on Mokan through the EYBL AAU circuit, and how he made his way to Indiana University. Tom Crean played a huge part in getting him to Indiana with his development with guys like Victor Oladipo and Dwyane Wade. Juwan discusses with us what it was like playing with Thomas Bryant and OG Anunoby. After IU he had to grind his way to a two way contract with the Utah Jazz through the G League. He went from 0 to 100 in the bubble from playing spot minutes to starting game 1 and 2 with the suggestion of Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley. He was also part of the 2022 Boston Celtics team… and he shares some wild Stephen Curry stories.

We are back and of course I got my guy Justin Jackson with me for this one. There is nothing like a UNC vs Duke rivalry game and you already know our guys came to play. Does this UNC team have a chance to make a deep run in the tournament? Kyrie Irving has been balling recently and it’s still crazy to think what that Nets team with Harden and Durant could have accomplished if everybody had stayed healthy. Also, why is Joel Embiid out of the MVP race and are the rules that are in place fair? Finally, who are some of the guys around the league right now that you need to keep your eye on as we go into the back half of the NBA season.  Go to http://prizepicks.com/race and use code "race" for first deposit match up to $100 Make Sure to Follow: https://www.instagram.com/_kingcozy/ https://www.instagram.com/tpinsonn/ https://www.youtube.com/c/TidalLeague

Why Harden, Irving and Durant should have won a Championship with the Nets, Joel Embiid Deserves to be in the MVP Conversation and why UNC is Better than Duke!

You already know my guy Justin Jackson is back for this one. On this episode we are making some mid-season predictions so who do we think is the most deserving when it comes to NBA awards? This Rookie of the Year race is up in the air so who do you got, Victor Wembanyama or Chet Holmgren? 6th Man of the Year and Most Improved are always tough ones to call so who are some of our frontrunners for those? We are now into the second half of the season so we have to make our early picks for who’s going to be in the playoffs and who we think are going to make a deep run. Are the Clippers’ going to win it all this year and when it comes to college ball, who are we going to see in the Final Four?!  Go to http://prizepicks.com/race and use code "race" for first deposit match up to $100 Make Sure to Follow: https://www.instagram.com/_kingcozy/ https://www.instagram.com/tpinsonn/ https://www.youtube.com/c/TidalLeague

You already know we had to have our guy Elfrid Payton on the pod. He might not know how long he’s played in the league but this man has seen it all when it comes to basketball. What are some of his craziest stories about coaches getting fired and what was it like to get traded on draft night to Orlando. This man has played with some stars so how was it playing alongside guys like Julius Randle, Derrick Rose and Chris Paul? We also talk about the different teams he’s played for, trying to adjust to new organizations and of course we take some time at the end to answer some hard hitting questions you might have heard from past episodes.
