Rob and Kelvin debate whether the Detroit Pistons are making a mistake by refusing to offer All-NBA center Jalen Duren a maximum contract extension, discuss Mike Vrabel’s very public defense of embattled quarterback Drake Maye, and take A’Ja Wilson for her bizarre interaction (and public comments after the fact) with an Indiana Fever on Tuesday.

It's decision day in Detroit. Jalen Duren has until 11:59 PM ET tonight to sign his $9.6M qualifying offer, or take the Pistons' five-year, $200M deal, which no longer includes the weight clause. He's an All-Star and All-NBA center who has skipped media day and training camp, and fantasy drafts are happening right now.On today's stream we break down:
Could Jalen Duren's contract situation eventually change how the Chicago Bulls view their long-term center position? Could Patrick Williams find new value as a small-ball five? And which Bulls have actually earned long-term extensions?On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down three roster-building questions that could shape Bryson Graham's next phase of the rebuild.First, Jalen Duren.Detroit's contract standoff has created an interesting future possibility, but this is NOT a report that Chicago is pursuing Duren. The Bulls angle is simple: if Duren eventually reaches the market, should Chicago preserve enough flexibility to seriously consider a 22-year-old center coming off an All-Star and All-NBA season?And there's an important deadline distinction: October 1 is the qualifying-offer acceptance deadline—not an absolute deadline for Detroit and Duren to negotiate a long-term contract.The bigger Bulls question is how much better Duren would actually make Chicago compared with Nic Claxton, who is already under contract and now gets an entire season to prove whether he can become the defensive anchor this young core needs.Then we get into Patrick Williams.

Norman Powell has his sights set on All-NBA—but what would it actually take for him to get there with the Chicago Bulls? And if Jalen Duren becomes available, should Chicago make him its next major investment?On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize dives into three major Bulls storylines heading toward the 2026–27 season.First, we break down Norman Powell's All-NBA goal. Powell averaged 21.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season while shooting 38% from three, and he made his first All-Star team. But making All-NBA is a much tougher challenge, especially with only 15 spots available league-wide.Haize breaks down what Powell would realistically need to do, including improved availability, elite scoring efficiency, a bigger offensive burden and enough team impact to separate himself from the rest of the league.Then we get into the bigger Bulls future question:If Norman Powell plays at an All-NBA level, should Chicago KEEP him or use that production to maximize his trade value?

It's finally official. Kawhi Leonard is a Raptor, Grady Dick and Brandon Ingram are Clippers, and LA gets a pick swap plus two unprotected first-rounders in 2031 and 2033 — which John Browner says was essential, because going forward with no picks for five years takes the legs out from under a franchise nobody trusts in free agency anymore. Then he drops the take of the night: this Toronto team will be worse than last year's Clippers. Ten Eastern Conference teams he'd put ahead of them, and a vibes-and-chemistry group that loses its chemistry the moment Kawhi walks in. Grant zags hard — 27.9 points a game, All-NBA second team, seventh in MVP voting, added to an already elite defense — and calls Toronto a contender. Beav joins to exhale, and John pitches the reset: shop everybody but Keaton Wagler. Trust the process, and hope you land on your Embiid. David Bloom makes his SportsGrid debut with the prom metaphor that explains the entire Kawhi era, plus the Paul George-for-Jaylen Brown fallout in Boston, a wide-open MLB playoff race, and which Week 1 injury actually changes a season — John says there's only one answer, and it isn't Myles Garrett.

Ben Simmons pasó de ser el número 1 del Draft, Rookie del Año, All-NBA y tres veces All-Star a quedarse fuera de la liga y tener que buscar una nueva oportunidad en Sacramento. Durante unos años parecía uno de los jugadores jóvenes más especiales de la NBA, pero su carrera terminó tomando un camino completamente diferente.En este vídeo repasamos qué le pasó realmente: el problema con el tiro, la pérdida de confianza, aquellos playoffs contra Atlanta que marcaron un antes y un después, su salida de Philadelphia, las lesiones, Brooklyn, Clippers y una caída deportiva que hace unos años parecía prácticamente imposible de imaginar.Ahora Simmons vuelve a la NBA con los Sacramento Kings y una oportunidad para demostrar que todavía puede ser un jugador útil. La pregunta ya no es si puede convertirse en la superestrella que prometía ser, sino cuánto queda del jugador que algún día parecía destinado a dominar la liga.

2026 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame finalist, author, actor, and Emmy-winning broadcaster Marques Johnson is a five-time NBA All-Star, First Team All-NBA selection, and one of the greatest players in Milwaukee Bucks history. In The Crenshaw Chronicles, Marques turns his attention to the formative institution that helped shape his own trajectory: Crenshaw High School in South Central Los Angeles. Under legendary basketball coach Willie West—who compiled more than 800 victories at Crenshaw while winning eight state titles, 16 Los Angeles City Section titles, and 28 league championships—Marques became the 1973 Los Angeles City Player of the Year and helped establish a tradition that would influence generations of athletes to follow. Through conversations with notable Crenshaw alumni spanning sports, music, entertainment, business, and civic life, The Crenshaw Chronicles explores the guidance, exposure, adversity, and sense of community that affected the direction of their lives. Among them are actor Mykelti Williamson; rapper and actor Ice-T; Cheryl Cooley, guitarist and co-founder of Klymaxx; baseball greats Darryl Strawberry and Ellis Valentine; Super Bowl champion Wendell Tyler; David “Doc” Robertson; Robert “Pookie” Smith; and members of Marques' own family, including his son Kris Johnson. Twenty years after his father earned Los Angeles City Player of the Year honors, Kris received the same distinction in 1993 before helping UCLA win the 1995 NCAA national championship—making father and son national champions at the same university. Marques' own path from Crenshaw led just a few miles west to UCLA, where he played under John Wooden and helped deliver Wooden's 10th and final NCAA championship in 1975. As a senior in 1977, Marques averaged 21.4 points and 11.1 rebounds per game and became the inaugural recipient of the John R. Wooden Award. The Milwaukee Bucks selected him third overall in the 1977 NBA Draft, beginning an 11-year career in which he averaged 20.1 points and seven rebounds per game, earned five All-Star selections and three All-NBA honors, and helped pioneer the role that would become known as the “point forward.” His career included memorable postseason battles with Larry Bird's Boston Celtics and a 33-point performance in the deciding Game 4 of Milwaukee's 1983 Eastern Conference Semifinal sweep of Boston. After later joining the Los Angeles Clippers, a devastating neck injury threatened to end his playing career, but Marques eventually made an improbable return to the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 1989. The Bucks retired his No. 8 jersey in 2019. His career beyond the court has been similarly varied. Marques became an Emmy-winning basketball broadcaster and pursued acting, appearing as Raymond in White Men Can't Jump, Mel in Blue Chips, and in films and television projects including Dark City, Caught Up, Dangerous Minds, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Boston Legal, and The Gambler. In our conversation, we discussed his upbringing in Los Angeles and his journey to Crenshaw; the enduring influence of Willie West, John Wooden, and Don Nelson; his transition into acting and broadcasting; and the countless stories within The Crenshaw Chronicles that examine humanity, courage, resilience, love, mentorship, and dedication to one's craft.Opening Credits: Podington Bear - Blue Highway I CC BY-NC; Black Ant - 6,49 I CC BY.

Russell Westbrook se retira después de 18 temporadas en la NBA dejando uno de los legados más difíciles de valorar de su generación: MVP, nueve veces All-NBA, líder histórico en triples-dobles y uno de los jugadores más explosivos que hemos visto. Pero también una carrera marcada por las dudas sobre su eficiencia, su toma de decisiones, su tiro y hasta qué punto sus números reflejaban realmente su impacto.En este vídeo analizamos su mejor versión, el MVP de 2017, su etapa junto a Kevin Durant, los proyectos con Paul George, Houston, Washington, Lakers y sus últimos años. ¿Era realmente un jugador top 5 de la NBA? ¿Merecía el MVP? ¿Podías construir un campeón alrededor de él? ¿Y cuánto ha distorsionado su etapa en Lakers el recuerdo del Westbrook que dominó Oklahoma?Este es el primer episodio de “Cómo de bueno era…”, una nueva serie de Canal NBA en la que revisaremos a grandes estrellas y leyendas para intentar responder una pregunta muy sencilla: ¿cómo de buenos eran realmente?
ESPN is already betting big on Caleb Wilson's future — and Chicago Bulls fans should absolutely be paying attention.On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize reacts to ESPN's 2026 rookie forecast, where Caleb Wilson keeps showing up in conversations about superstardom, All-NBA upside, long-term ceiling, draft steals and even eventual championship potential. Wilson was not the No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 pick, but ESPN insiders still ranked him among the rookies with one of the fastest paths to superstardom and the third-highest long-term ceiling in the class.Haize breaks down why this should raise excitement without creating unfair rookie-year expectations. ESPN did not project Wilson as the rookie with the biggest immediate winning impact, which suggests the national conversation is separating his long-term ceiling from his immediate readiness. For the Bulls, that means patience, development and a long runway should matter more than forcing Wilson to look like a star in October.The episode also looks at the bigger organizational challenge: ESPN clearly likes Wilson's talent, but Chicago has to create the right developmental environment around him with Tiago Splitter, Jordan Brink, Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis and the right shooting/spacing pieces. ESPN even described the Bulls as launching a rebuild around Caleb Wilson, which makes this one of the most important developmental seasons in recent franchise history.Plus, Haize discusses whether the Bulls should take advantage of the Cleveland Cavaliers' reported interest in moving Max Strus. Strus is owed $16.7 million next season, Chicago has room below the luxury tax, and his career 37% three-point shooting could help a Bulls team still thin on spacing — but Bryson Graham should demand assets if the Bulls are helping Cleveland solve a financial problem.Finally, the Bulls lost one potential Summer League shooting gem, as Donovan Atwell was granted a fifth year of NCAA eligibility and is returning to Texas Tech. Atwell shot 45.8% from three last season in college and 48.5% from deep in Summer League, so seeing him return to school stings a little for a Bulls team that still needs shooting depth.
NBA.com Senior Writer Steve Aschburner joins Jim to examine the Hall of Fame candidacy of former NBA swingman Latrell Sprewell. First, Jim and Steve revisit the infamous choking of P. J. Carlesimo and how that incident overshadows Sprewell's better-than-you-remember NBA career (7:51). Next, they cover Sprewell's performance in the 1999 NBA Finals, why Sprewell reminds Steve of Clyde Drexler, and whether an All-NBA 1st Team selection is enough to guarantee a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame (18:42). Finally, they marvel at Sprewell's surprising place on the NBA's career minutes-per-game leaderboard (48:00), before making a final call on whether or not Sprewell belongs in the HOF (54:50).
Farace and Tim are back for Episode 143 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct, with Anthony possibly jumping in if the Wi-Fi, the schedule, and his attention span all decide to act right for once. This week is NFL-heavy, so we're keeping it clean: football first, NBA second, and blind rankings wherever the wheel decides to ruin someone's night.The NFL block opens in Minnesota, where the Vikings chose Kyler Murray over J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy says the decision was “out of his control,” which is technically true, but usually the way you put it in your control is by being better than the guy they're paying $1.3 million while Arizona pays most of his money to not play there. The guys will dig into whether Minnesota just told us what it really thinks of McCarthy, whether Kyler can revive his career, and how awkward this gets if the former No. 10 pick spends the season holding a clipboard with a fake smile.Sticking with football, the running back market is suddenly alive again. Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs both got paid, so the old “running backs don't matter” argument needs to be dragged back into court. Maybe average backs don't matter. Maybe replaceable backs don't matter. But when you're talking about game-changing weapons like Bijan and Gibbs, teams are clearly still willing to open the checkbook. So the real debate is simple: if you're starting a franchise today, are you taking Bijan or Gibbs?The football block also brings Dan Orlovsky's quarterback trait rankings, which are basically seven different ways to make fans angry before dinner. Arm strength, ball placement, mechanics, decision-making, pocket presence, second-reaction creativity, rushing — pick a category and somebody is getting disrespected. We're not reading the whole thing like homework. We'll hit the categories that cause the most damage and let Farace, Tim, and possibly Anthony turn it into exactly the kind of argument this show was built for.Then there's the CBS booth situation, where Tony Romo's future has shifted from “still being assessed” to J.J. Watt stepping in alongside Jim Nantz while Romo is on leave. Is Watt ready for the No. 1 booth? Is this temporary? And how weird is it going to be the first time Nantz tees up a big game without Romo jumping in like he just discovered Cover 2 on live television?Once football gets its time, we move to the NBA, starting with Russell Westbrook retiring after 18 seasons. Russ walks away as a former MVP, nine-time All-Star, nine-time All-NBA player, and the all-time triple-double king. The résumé is ridiculous, but so is the debate around him. Where does he actually rank among all-time point guards? Was he one of the most explosive players ever, or do the lack of a championship and late-career fit issues pull him down? This is where Tim tries to sound reasonable and someone immediately mistakes that for being right.The NBA schedule release is also on the board, and the league did not exactly hide what it wants us arguing about. Knicks banner night against LeBron and the Sixers? Christmas Day at MSG? LeBron returning to L.A. with Philly? That is not a schedule. That is drama with dates attached. The guys will hit the biggest games released so far, the matchups worth circling, and whether the NBA Cup is finally becoming something people care about or still needs more chaos to sell it.The Lakers sale also gets time after the franchise hit a $12.5 billion valuation, which is no longer a sports business story and is now cartoon villain money. The guys will talk about what that means for franchise values, whether normal billionaires are now priced out like regular people trying to buy playoff tickets, and whether new ownership changes how aggressive the Lakers get in the Luka era.Business as usual.#NFL #NBA #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #RussellWestbrook #PopCulturePros
Slim Dookie joins the show for one of our biggest NBA debates of the offseason. We kick things off with a True or False: do the 76ers with LeBron belong in the same championship tier as the Thunder, Spurs, and Knicks? Then Nick reveals his three biggest winners and three biggest losers of the NBA offseason before we put every team through our Blind Tier Rankings, sorting contenders, trade-away candidates, "Away Court Disadvantage" squads, mid teams, and the Fat Dookies. We also play Way or No Way, debating Anthony Davis trade rumors, Cooper Flagg's All-NBA chances, first-time MVP candidates, coaching hot seats, and whether multiple NBA legends will retire after the season. Finally, we wrap things up with another edition of Would You Rather, as Anthony Edwards goes head-to-head against Giannis, Luka, Cade Cunningham, Cooper Flagg, Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Maxey, and more to determine which superstar you'd want for the rest of the decade.

Today's word of the day is ‘accountable' as in NBA playoff as in Thunder as in Spurs as in SGA as in Wemby. Where was Wemby after the game? Skipped his postgame interviews. Not okay. You have to show up after the game he had. (8:30) Kenny Atkinson is returning to the Cavaliers. He had signed a five-year deal in 2024, but most felt it was his time after another failed playoff run. From the things he said postgame to the sweep by the Knicks, it was all bad. The roster is so expensive, the path forward doesn't look promising. (17:12) Jalen Duren is eligible for a max contract. It's all tied into the All-NBA results. The Pistons cannot win if they do it. (29:10) Abner Uribe hit the triple pumps at the Cardinals dugout. Manager Pat Murphy was furious. Uribe said that the Cardinals manager had directed the pitchers to throw inside to Brewers hitters. The Cardinals deny it. (36:40) Review: Devil Wears Prada 2. (40:10) NPPOD. (44:03) Brian Flores lawsuit against the NFL can now go to trial. Wow. The Supreme Court is not hearing the appeal from the NFL. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and Brandon Harper break down everything that matters in the NBA right now — and a few things that don't. Big Shot Bob is hosting a baby shower and hiding from 50 women, so naturally it's the perfect time to talk basketball. We dig deep into the OKC Thunder vs San Antonio Spurs Western Conference Finals with Game 6 on the horizon. The Spurs have been in a fistfight but the young bulls keep letting emotion get in the way. Robert has firsthand thoughts on what Gregg Popovich's halftime speeches actually do to a team — and a legendary story about the one time Pop yelled at him. Spoiler: Robert laughed. Wemby is the conversation. He joined Bill Walton as the only player in NBA history with 300 points, 150 rebounds, and 50 blocks in their first postseason. But is he doing enough? We debate whether he needs to go full Kobe — get on the block and tell everybody to get out of the way — and why his grace and his aggression can coexist. Over in the East, we put the Cleveland Cavaliers series loss to the Knicks through the shredder. James Harden's stat line across four games is... rough. The coaching staff takes heat. And Kenny Atkinson already confirmed he's coming back next season, plus there are rumors of a Harden extension that have us concerned for Cleveland's future. The flopping debate is real. A San Antonio fan brought a mini Oscar for SGA. Jay Williams called it exhausting. Robert says put some defense back in the damn game and Adam Silver needs to call in some old heads to sort it out. Plus: All-NBA teams are set, Jalen Brunson takes home the Larry Bird Trophy, the All-Rookie team is announced, and a man in Ohio jumps into a pond to save a mother and daughter — your Big Shot of the Week. Then we run Conference Finals Chaos — a trivia game covering NBA history milestones from this postseason. Longest Finals drought, back-to-back champions, three-peat MVP winners, and more. TOPICS THIS EPISODE: • OKC Thunder vs Spurs Game 6 preview — who's got the edge? • Robert Horry on Gregg Popovich's comeback and locker room presence • The one time Pop yelled at Big Shot Bob (and what happened next) • Wemby's historic postseason numbers and why he needs to attack more • Wemby compared to young Kobe — the confidence, the cockiness, the potential • The SGA flopping debate and the woman with the mini Oscar at courtside • James Harden's embarrassing series vs the Knicks, game by game • Kenny Atkinson confirmed as returning Cavs coach — are they making a mistake? • Knicks fans, former players on the court, and James Dolan getting an unexpected compliment • All-NBA first team announced — Shai and Jokic unanimous • Joe Mazzulla wins Coach of the Year • All-Rookie team: Cooper Flagg leads the way • Knicks waiting on their Finals opponent — rest vs rhythm debate • Big Shot of the Week: Yianni Saris jumps into a pond to save a mom and her daughter • Conference Finals Chaos trivia game — NBA history, streaks, and records Hit Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Big Shot Bob.
