Ryan and Jason give their first impressions of the NBA season so far. Jason sees promise in Colin Sexton. Ryan scoffs at anyone who doubted the Brooklyn Nets. Cleveland's defense impresses Jason and Brooklyn's offense impresses Ryan. Enjoy!
In the Final installment of the Dynasty Series, Ryan and Jason breakdown the controversial Miami Heat circa 2011-14. They choked a 3-2 series lead against Dallas, secured one ring against a very young unproven Thunder team in a 66-game season, and only cracked 60 wins once in 4 years. They narrowly escaped Kobe on his quest for a 3-peat, a horrific Derrick Rose injury, and Tim Duncan missed bunny, but they still walked away with 2 titles in 4 years. Are the Heatles a Dynasty? Ryan and Jason discuss.
At long last, the Kobe-Shaq Lakers: the last team to 3-peat and could have 4-peated. Equipped with more talent than any other team in history, this could have been the greatest dynasty ever! But if that's the case, why were their Finals series so unmemorable? Ryan and Jason take a look back at the Dynasty of our youth in what became a relatively unremarkable period of NBA history.
Ryan and Jason are back and kicking off 2021 with another installment of the 2003 2003 NBA Re-Draft series focusing on Dwyane Wade. Wade was drafted into the best possible situation. They discuss the alternate paths his career would have taken had he been drafted by any of the other top teams.
Ryan and Jason check in on the upcoming NBA season. They dive into the James Harden saga, the Beal/Westbrook pairing, whether Minnesota or Houston has the better Kentucky duo, and give their predictions for who will make it to the NBA Finals.
Ryan and Jason re-live their hatred for one of the most controversial NBA champions of all time, the 2008 Celtics. In the largest turnaround for a franchise in NBA history, the new Big 3 in Boston left an everlasting impression. Its main players, Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, and Rajon Rondo would all remain relevant for the next decade even beyond their playing careers. What made this team so memorable given they won only 1 championship?
Chris Bosh was as important to the legendary 2003 NBA Draft as LeBron, Carmelo, and Dwyane and was instrumental in establishing Toronto as a legitimate NBA city, but would he have been more successful if he were drafted in Denver? Would he be a multiple time All-Star? Would he have even left for Miami otherwise? What would the Raptors have been if they didn't draft him? Ryan and Jason breakdown the whatifs around Chris Bosh.
What if the NBA took the best parts of other sports? Ryan and Jason come up with a series of ideas to improve the game, including: a revamp of overtime, swapping Championship rings for belts, the structure of the regular season, flopping fouls, and a salary cap revamp. Enjoy!
In the second installment of the Shooting Stars, Ryan and Jason relive the improbable run of the 2011 Dallas Mavericks as they swept the back-to-back champion LA Lakers, and upset the Miami Heat with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. They discuss Dirk's legacy, the lack of recognition for Rick Carlisle and Jason Kidd, as well as LeBron's infamous 8-point performance.
The 20023 NBA Draft was one of the most star-studded drafts featured 4 future Hall of Famers going in the first 5 picks, including arguably the greatest of all-time. But what if the lottery balls bounced differently? Introducing a new mini-series, the 2003 Re-Draft, Ryan and Jason explore what might have happened to each player's career and the NBA in general? In the 1st episode, we ask what would have happened if the Toronto Raptors won the 2003 NBA draft lottery and with the #1 pick, select LeBron James? Does Vince Carter stay? Does LeBron still become a global icon? Do the Big 3 unite in Miami? Ryan and Jason introduce
