After years of beatdowns by the Detroit Pistons Bad Boys, Michael Jordan finally won his first NBA title in 1992. Amidst the commotion in the Bulls' locker room - champagne spraying, players and coaches yelling, media swarming - everyone wanted to get a defining image of MJ's triumph, but the Finals MVP was nowhere to be seen. Lakers team photographer and co-creator of NBA Photos Andrew Bernstein was the one who snapped the definitive shot of Jordan crying with the trophy, his father James at his son's side. Such photographic glory was no such thing when a 20-year-old Andrew left UMass at Amherst and headed west to study in the City of Angels. He soon got a gig assisting veteran photogs for Sports Illustrated, and then managed to talk his way into photographing the 1983 All-Star Game for the League on his own, long before photographers had assistants and technicians to help them. He proved his talent and tenacity in the Forum that weekend, and was soon the official lensman for the Lakers, documenting their wins and losses against Larry Bird's Celtics, the Shaq-Kobe-Phil Jackson three-peat, and the two titles Kobe won with Pau Gasol.In this episode, Andrew shares:How he talked his way into the 1983 All-Star Game assignment What role confidence and New Jersey moxie played as he built an unsurpassed portfolio and started NBA Photos in a filing cabinet in his small apartment What he did to make Magic Johnson reprimand him on a Converse commercial setHow he got into Pat Riley's huddle to shoot the Showtime Lakers during timeoutsWhy a shot of Michael Jordan and another of Kobe are his favorites among thousands of photosLearn more about Andrew's fantastic photography on his Instagram feed and listen to his insightful interviews as host of the Legends of Sport podcast.

This week, Backwards K Pod takes a look at "Baseball's First Palace", the unforgettable Comiskey Park. In 1910. the throwback crib would change the evolutionary history of the game, with her cavernous playing field, symmetrical walls and history of light hitting White Sox teams, built on speed and pitching. It would be the site of the first All-Star Game in MLB history. The home of over 20 Negro League All-Star Games, an exploding scoreboard, heavyweight boxing matches, rock concerts and crazy promotional ideas like Disco Demolitian Night. This is the history of South Chicago and their rabid baseball fanbase, that would live in synergy with their communal baseball monument. #ChicagoWhiteSox #CharlesComiskey #EdWalsh #ZacharyTaylorDavis #ComiskeyPark #BillVeek #DiscoDemolitianNight #CarltonFisk #OzzieGuillen #FrankLane #FrankThomas #EddieGaedel

This week I am telling great comeback stories and today's story is about Jose Rijo of the Cincinnati Reds. Rijo washed out of the Oakland A's organization but had a great career with the Reds winning a World Series in which he won two games and went to an All-Star Game. But his career was cut short with shoulder and elbow injuries at age 31. He tried and tried to get back to the big leagues but injuries kept him out more than five years. He even ended up on the Hall of Fame ballot which only happens for players who have not played for five years after retirement. But Rijo was not retired and his arm finally healed enough for him to begin pitching again. Listen to today's short to hear how he made an improbable comeback all the way to the Major Leagues again after not pitching for half a decade.

Their position battles haven't been settled and won't be until deeper into fall camp. That should come as no surprise seeing that it's Vincent Brown's first year as coach. Norfolk State's Joe Bryant won the MVP of Reese's All Star Game. He was the only HBCU player invited and showcased his ability to not only compete with high competition but standout among high competition. Bryant accomplished what every HBCU player tries to do at All Star Games. Isaiah Land was the biggest story coming out of FAMU Pro Day, and the Washington Commanders GM was present. It's not often that team general managers come to pro days unless it's for players highly valued. That's a good sign for Land. At the pro day, Land ran LB drills.

From Tampa, Fla. he attended Thomas Jefferson High where he was cut from his high school baseball team as a sophomore – and became so determined to improve he rode his bike 20 miles to the gym to train.

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew brings you behind the scenes at All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City! We start by diving into All-Star Saturday Night, where virtual unknown Mac McClung stole the show with three perfect scores in the Dunk Contest. As for the All-Star Game itself, Richard & Channing both feel like the league is missing the leadership of Kobe Bryant, who understood the history of the event and truly wanted to win & push younger stars. We also react to Russell Westbrook's pending move to the Clippers, and explain why things probably won't be different until Russ looks inward and evolves his game. Friend of the show Kevin Love signs with the Heat, and Channing's Chosen Family Wines collaborates with other Black-owned wineries for a special campaign during Black History Month!

Following the All-Star Game, LeBron James framed the last 23 games of the 2022-23 season as being as critical as any regular season games he's had in his very, very long career. That's a lot of games, and plenty of important ones. But with the Lakers once again on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoff/play-in race, he's absolutely correct that they need to hit the ground running hard to even have a chance down the stretch. It can't be a step forward and a step back, two steps forward one step back and so on. The Lakers need to pile up some wins, starting Thursday against the Warriors. It's a tall order to jump over multiple teams, and one the mathematicians don't think the Lakers can do. Whether looking at Basketball Reference, FiveThirtyEight or any other purveyor of analytical projections, the odds favor the Lakers landing outside the top 10 when the season is all said and done. And it makes sense, even if you think the Lakers are improved following the trade deadline. The math is daunting, because if the teams in front of the Lakers just play .500 ball, LA has to be significantly better than that to jump over them. The good news? They play a lot of games against those teams (starting Thursday). So if they win 'em, they can make up ground pretty fast. And even better? Definitionally, if the Lakers get in, they've been playing good basketball to do it. (They can't move up, otherwise. Backing in is basically impossible.) And if they're in, it's a fairly safe bet that teams would rather not play LeBron and A.D. in the first round. Cliche as it sounds, that's no ordinary 8-seed. From there, it's another edition of deep dives into the new guys acquired by the Lakers. Today, it's Mo Bamba, with guest Philip Rossman-Reich, host of Locked On Magic. He explains what Bamba's strengths and weaknesses are, why things didn't work out in Orlando, and how he might have more luck with different teammates and a major change of scenery in L.A.. Playing with LeBron won't hurt, that's for sure. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The math doesn't favor the Lakers. Should it be a little more kind? SEGMENT 2: A deep dive on Mo Bamba with Philip Rossman-Reich of Locked on Magic. SEGMENT 3: Why context matters with Bamba, and how that could help the Lakers. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The weekend's All Star Game was, by most reviews, a shammockery of a basketball game. Even by exhibition standards, there was no defense, or any real interest in playing something that could be recognized as an NBA type game. But at least nobody got hurt, even though for a minute, it looked like LeBron James might have done the unthinkable, suffering some sort of hand injury in the first half of Sunday's game. But based on his behavior once he was out of the game (which included a lot of aggressive high fives and fist bumps with what people thought might be a banged up right hand), Denver coach Micheal Malone's postgame comments (nobody got hurt) and James's own words, it seems like he was just fine, and everyone settled on a predicate for LeBron to sit the second half. All good. After, though, James talked about the final 23 games of the regular season, calling them among the most important regular season games he's played throughout a career that has seen A LOT of important regular season games. James said he doesn't abide the idea of missing the playoffs in consecutive seasons, and interestingly focused on his ability to be on the floor. He pledged to play all 23 games. Not that he would raise his level or something (I think he believes high level performance is a given) but that he would be available. Because at this point of his career, availability is the big question mark. And that's new, relative to the rest of his career. For James to acknowledge it is interesting. And what about Russell Westbrook? If Lakers fans could have sent him anywhere following a buyout from the Jazz (after, of course, the Lakers were able to finally trade the guy), they'd have picked the Clippers. Why? Because Lakers fans by and large (fair or not) believe that Westbrook will destroy whatever he touches, and would prefer that the thing he touches and destroys be the team's cross-arena rivals. But will he? Is there a way things could work better for Russ in red, white and blue than they did in purple and gold? What would be the reaction if things just take off? And are the Clippers the Western Conference team for whom it actually does kinda make sense to get into the Russ business? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: LeBron scared the heck out of Lakers fans, but all seems to be well. SEGMENT 2: LeBron says the last 23 games of the regular season are as important as any he's played as a pro. SEGMENT 3: Russ to the Clippers. It's what Lakers fans wanted!

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Larry O'Connor from WMAL fills in for Mark. The Department of Justice is a corrupt enterprise under President Biden and Merrick Garland. If the DOJ and FBI can violate the rights of Donald Trump, they can do it to anyone. The FACE Act was used as a weapon against Mark Houck, who was an innocent victim of one of the grossest abuses of power by the DOJ. Houck was used as a political prop and subject to an FBI raid at gunpoint in front of his 7 children. We need the good men and women in the FBI to stand up to the corrupt orders they're being given by the Biden Administration. Also, it's good to see Congress back in action under Republican leadership again which is a game changer. Having a majority in the House can kill any bill passed by the Democrat-majority Senate, but even more importantly it determines the committees in the House. Now we get to have people like Chip Roy on the Rules Committee so we can challenge Democrat socialists like Maxine Waters. Later, Democrat prospects for president after Biden are horrendous with Kamala Harris, Hillary, and Gavin Newsom in the front of the line. Finally, what happened to Georgia being ground zero for Jim Crow 2.0 like we were told from Biden, dividing Americans along political and racial lines like he's done his whole career. Georgia was too racist for Major League Baseball to have the All-Star Game in Atlanta, but might be the location for the Democrat National Convention in 2024. Every single election law passed by Democrat is about letting anyone they want to vote, while Republican bills actually secure the vote and make it harder to cheat. Learn more about your ad choices.
