In this episode of The Easy Day Show, hosts Devondrick Walker and Bryce Cotton welcome their second guest, Josh Higgins from The Basketball Fix. The discussion kicks off with thoughts on the NBL potentially emulating the NBA, particularly with All-Star weekend events like imports vs. locals, one-on-one tournaments, and more. Higgins shares his perspective on the real competitiveness and structure that would make such an event successful. The roundtable then moves to the subject of NBL expansion, analyzing the pros and cons of adding more teams and the strategic implications. They also float a provocative idea about introducing trades in the league to increase fan engagement and competition. The show wraps with two new segments: 'Real One of the Day,' celebrating player Orlando Johnson, and ‘Shoe Giveaway,' encouraging fan interaction with a chance to win a fresh pair of kicks. The hosts and their guest conclude with a reflective look at how basketball history could be more accurately honored by separating statistical records by era.
