Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with 13-year NBA vet Will Perdue on playing for legendary head coaches Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with Washington Post NBA writer and host of the Locked On NBA podcast Ben Golliver on everything that has happened inside the NBA bubble. As the author of the upcoming book Bubbleball, Golliver shares rare details about the Disney property, including where those inside it are allowed to go, how isolating it really feels, what security is like, the activities that are available to the players, and the only thing he's spent money on in the last few months. He explains how it feels and looks inside the arena and who the most prolific trash talkers (and most enthusiastic family members) have been. He also reveals how this unique, shared experience for players and executives is impacting the league and examines how teams are evaluating players in the bubble. Golliver also offers his opinion on how LeBron's success in the bubble will ultimately impact his legacy and on whether Giannis will be in Milwaukee for the long haul. Bubbleball can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com. -- Please subscribe to Rejecting the Screen, rate, review and share with your friends! -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov discuss what they want to hear from the ESPN broadcast team calling the NBA Finals. The guys break down what they've enjoyed, what they are critical of, and what we should be hearing from them. They also discuss how Jimmy Butler's reputation was never as good as it is right now and Adam asks who should be blamed for that (former teammates, Butler himself, or the media?). Noah's answer will surprise you. They also lay out their expectations for Game 4 of the NBA Finals and how the outcome will likely be determined by how Anthony Davis plays, how the Lakers use him, and who on the Heat will guard him. -- Please subscribe to Rejecting the Screen, rate, review and share with your friends! -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with 18-year NBA vet Danny Schayes. The old school big man tells remarkable, never-before-heard stories about some of the greatest players of his era, including Larry Bird, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Charles Barkley. He shares incredible insight on playing for Magic Johnson during his short stint as a head coach and getting invited to Magic's private parties. Schayes also breaks down his famous fight with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during the 1985 playoffs. He explains how the Denver Nuggets became the highest scoring team in NBA history and what it was like to play in the highest scoring game in league history. As the son of one of the NBA's all-time greats, Dolph Schayes, Danny reveals some incredible differences in the game from yesteryear and the difficulties of growing up as the son of a legend. The Syracuse all-time leader in NBA games played talks about playing for a young Jim Boeheim. He also says humor was about the only thing Frank Layden brought to the table as a coach, the worst teammate to have on the team plane, and what it was like to play for the Orlando Magic after Shaq left. -- Please subscribe to Rejecting the Screen, rate, review and share with your friends! -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov provide a special NBA Finals preview episode of the podcast. They have a unique angle on whether a Lakers or Heat championship will always have an asterisk next to it because it happened in the bubble. They take a deep dive into the greatness of LeBron James, including some of his unfathomable stats, why the Michael Jordan comparisons are frustrating, and how what he's doing at his age is unlike anything we've ever seen before. The guys make their predictions on who will win the title, analyze what will determine who wins, and look back on how what they said would happen in the bubble did happen in the bubble. They also discuss the Clippers firing Doc Rivers and ask the question: Is anyone going to call Doc a "retread coach?"  -- Please subscribe to Rejecting the Screen, rate, review and share with your friends! -- Rejecting the Screen is part of the Locked On Podcast Network and is released on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with Memphis Grizzlies assistant coach Scoonie Penn. The college hoops legend talks about everything from his early playing days to things about Ja Morant that fans don't know. He explains what he learned while playing in AAU Tournaments against Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and Vince Carter and how he found inspiration in watching Salem High School classmate Rick Brunson reach the NBA. He discusses the success he experienced at the start of his collegiate career at Boston College and details his gut-wrenching decision to transfer to Ohio State in the face of enormous pressure. The 1999 Big Ten Player of the Year tells incredible stories about his time at Ohio State, including his role in developing Michael Redd's game, reaching the Final Four after saying it would happen during Media Day, Randy Moss wearing his jersey, and which Buckeyes are the best on the golf course. He talks about getting drafted in 2000 and reveals why he chose overseas stardom over a career in the NBA. He also provides some fascinating insight on the Grizzlies, such as why Morant is far better than anyone realizes and why Taylor Jenkins is an underrated head coach. -- Please subscribe to Rejecting the Screen, rate, review and share with your friends!

Adam Stanco & Noah Coslov go ISO with New York Times best-selling author Jeff Pearlman. This is the first interview with Pearlman about his incredibly revealing new book, Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty. Pearlman finished writing the book prior to Kobe's death and it is the ultimate documentation of the not-so-pretty side of Kobe's early days as a Laker. The author discusses how Kobe was much different when he first entered the league than he was later in life. Pearlman shares stunning Kobe stories from Shaq, JR Rider, and Jerry Stackhouse. He details Kobe's complicated relationships with his teammates, his family, and the city of Philadelphia. Pearlman explains how many of the interview subjects would not have been as candid and forthcoming as they were if those interviews were conducted after Kobe had died. He also opens up about the unique position he's in now as he promotes the book and navigates releasing excerpts about such a beloved figure. Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty can be purchased on Amazon.com. -- Today's episode is brought to you by RockAuto.com. Amazing selection.
