The kid from Melbourne! Johnny Furphy joins Tommy & the BM Pod to discuss his debut NBA Season, reaching the NBA Finals with the Indiana Pacers, including a season ending injury to the team's star, Tyrese Haliburton.
(Plenty of 2028 Olympics/Boomers chat too :)
Awesome to catch up the Furph at Courtside in Melbourne a few months back, whilst he was back home for the off-season.
We're pumped bringing these basketball episodes to you, but let us know in the comments, your thoughts on the show!

Our Last Episode of the year! (probably not lol). We have our great mate, Fox Footy's Jarra Davis jumps on the pod to dissect everything from grand final week! (Probably the first genuine good footballing mind to be on the pod all year).
Thank-you to anyone who has listened to any of the content from the pod this year. It started extremely rocky but, we seriously appreciate all of you who have supported the show at any stage. We hope you'll stick around for an awesome 2026.
