The fellas return post-All-Star break with a loaded episode covering everything from Stud Budz to Summer League stars.
We kick things off with a full WNBA All-Star Weekend recap, including the viral 72-hour Stud Budz stream, Napheesa Collier’s MVP performance, and standout moments on and off the court. From there, we dive into mid-season awards: MVP, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved, and the Angel Reese case, plus picks for Sixth Player, DPOY, Coach of the Year, and First Team All-WNBA.
Then it’s over to the NBA side—Cam Thomas and Zach Lowe beef, Charlotte claims the Summer League crown, and the All-Summer League First Team honors, and we check in on rising names like Nique Clifford, Ryan Nembhard, VJ Edgecombe, and Tre Johnson.
We also hit some NBA offseason headlines: Dame back to Portland, Beal & CP3 to the Clippers, Marcus Smart joins the Lakers, and EuroBasket updates. Plus: a new Jumpshot Game, a Jeff Teague tangent, and a Superman rant.
This one’s got it all—lock in.
