In this episode, Mac is joined by Phil and Josh to discuss not only a future hall-of-famer, but the potential Greatest Player of All-Time; french phenom Victor Wembanyama!
Some may say it's way too early to know if Wemby will live up to the lofty expectations he has, and doubt he will truly make a transcendent impact on the game of basketball globally, but The Macroball Podcast certainly isn't in that camp!
Can Wemby win the MVP this upcoming season? How many Defensive Player of the Year awards will he finish his career with? Can Wemby become the first player to finish a game with a Quintuple-Double? Where will Wemby finish on the all-time Greatest Players list when it's all said and done?
Perhaps most importantly, how do the Spurs build around such an exciting talent, and how desperate should they be to win now?

In this episode, Mac is joined by good friend of the podcast Joel Pople and special guest Michael McDaniel, a former professional basketball player in the USA and Australia, and current Referee in NBL1 and various other leagues across Queensland, to dig into some topics we're very passionate about.
Mike gives us the full scoop, hitting us with some great stories about meeting rapper Master P, running the wings with NBA Hall of Famers Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki, defending NBA legend Michael Finley, and many more!
We then delve into similarities and differences in basketball played in America versus Australia and internationally, and talk about how players who might be thinking of going abroad to play professionally can prepare themselves.
We then move into a discussion about Refereeing; what young Referees can take onboard in their early stages, how to deal with angry players and coaches, holding players and themselves accountable, and more. Basically, the good, the bad and everything in between!
