Carl and Mike come back with reaction to Dyson Daniels making the NBA's All-Defensive 1st Team as they both agree it was more than deserving for the Hawks' guard. They then get into some college football talk and share more thoughts on the CFP moving to the top four ranked teams getting the first round bye vs conference champs getting the automatic bye. As they discuss, both the guys agree the move makes sense for the college game

What does this mean for his chances at an All-Defensive team?

The latest Jacked Ramsays 1 on 1 interview featuring Portland Trail Blazers wing, Toumani Camara.

It's time to talk about the most inscrutable topic in the NBA:  Defense! We pick our All-Defensive teams and Defensive Player of the Year.  Are we swayed by Draymond's self-promotional tour? Is another familiar name being slept on? Where do the big perimeter defensive stars rank relative to the bigs?We also pick our positional all-defensive teams, discuss whether the 65-game rule changed our picks, and then pick a few categories like best isolation and post defenders, best rim protector, and which players do the most with the least and the least with the most.  Finally, we select our Worst-Team All Defense.First though, we discuss the shocking news that Michael Malone and Calvin Booth have both been relieved of their duties.

Michael Ray Richardson was a star in the making. After a stellar collegiate career at the University of Montana, where he was voted first team All-Big Sky Conference as a sophomore, junior, and senior, the future seemed bright. Taken fourth overall in the 1978 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, Richardson was billed as “the next Walt Frazier.” In just his second professional season, he became the third player in NBA history to lead the league in both assists and steals—both Knicks team records. Richardson would also notch four All-Star appearances and twice being named to the All-Defensive team over eight seasons between the Knicks, Golden State Warriors, and New Jersey Nets. But during that time, his time off the court was having a bigger impact on his career than what he was doing on the court. On February 25, 1986, after three violations of the league's drug policy, NBA commissioner David Stern would ban Richardson from continuing his professional career. His struggles with drugs and alcohol were well documented, and someone considered the next big thing became the first player in league history to be receive a lifetime ban. For most people, this would be the end to their story—one in which their substance abuse would take over and their downfall inevitable. However, that was not in the cards for Michael Ray Richardson. In Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption (Sports Publishing, 2024), Richardson opens up about his life both on and off the basketball court, discussing all the highs and lows that made him both a hero and a villain. Though being reinstated to the NBA in 1988, he would instead have stints in the United States Basketball League and CBA before taking his talents to Europe. With stints in Italy, Croatia, and France, he would lead his teams to numerous championships in his decade-plus overseas. Now back in the states and running youth basketball clinics, Banned is Richardson's first opportunity to open up about his life, showing that though you may get knocked down—even from self-inflicted actions—the only person that can count you out is yourself. With forewords from Hall of Famers George “The Iceman” Gervin and Nancy Lieberman, this is the story of the Michael Ray Richardson as only he can tell it. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won. His next book, a biography of Moses Malone will be published in 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep. Learn more about your ad choices.

Former NBA All-Star Michael Ray Richardson and his co-author Jacob Uitti (Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption) join the show to discuss Richardson's riveting new memoir that chronicles his extraordinary journey on and off the basketball court. Hailed as “the next Walt Frazier” coming out of the University of Montana as a first-round pick (fourth overall) in the 1978 NBA Draft, "Sugar" was a force to be reckoned with, leading the league in both assists and steals in just his second season - still New York Knicks team records to this day - and earning four All-Star appearances and two All-Defensive team honors. But behind the scenes, his career was overshadowed by personal struggles with drugs and alcohol, leading to a historic lifetime ban from the NBA in 1986 while a member of the New Jersey Nets. Richardson shares how he rebounded from that moment, finding redemption through subsequent stints as a player and coach in places like the CBA (Albany Patroons, Oklahoma Cavalry); USBL (Long Island Knights); Premiere Basketball League; and a prolific 14-year professional league run in Europe, where he guided teams to championships and redefined his legacy.  Now running youth basketball clinics and reflecting on his journey, Richardson proves that resilience and accountability can turn even the darkest chapters into a comeback story.

THE CELTICS SWEEP THE PACERS AND ARE HEADING TO THE NBA FINALS!!!! Jaylen Brown won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP deservedly so. He was spectacular this series and in this game. He had 10pts in the 4th quarter and a couple of monster defensive plays down the stretch as well as the assist to White for the 3 that put the Celtics up 105-102. After missing out on an All-Defensive nod and and All-NBA nod, I'm super happy for him to get some recognition. Past JB, we had phenomenal contributions from a lot of guys. Holiday continued his dominance on both sides of the ball, Tatum was very unselfish and was just 2ast shy of a triple double, Derrick White obviously hit that go ahead 3 I just talked about but he also had 5 steals and 3 blocks which is insane to say. This was another unbelievable comeback victory from the C's. NBA Finals here we come!!!

Juwan Gary was on the All Defensive team-Though Katz did say Fred Hoiberg was the Coach of the Year…he listed Michigan's Phil Martelli as the assistant coach of the year.
