Becky Hammon's old Jalen Brunson take is back in the spotlight, and Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber dig into whether her criticism still holds up now that Brunson has pushed the Knicks to a new level. The conversation turns into a bigger debate about size, stars, championship standards, and why Knicks fans are not letting this one go. The episode also runs through the New York sports stories getting buried by Knicks fever, including Giants questions, Mets frustration with Carlos Mendoza and David Stearns, Anthony Volpe's role with the Yankees, and Cam Schlittler's rise as one of the most exciting arms in the American League. Evan and Tiki balance serious sports arguments with plenty of radio chaos, caller energy, and New York fan angst.

Becky Hammon's long running critique of Jalen Brunson takes center stage as Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit how her comments evolved from questioning whether Brunson was “that dude” to arguing that smaller stars do not win championships as the lead player. With the Knicks reaching the NBA Finals, the debate becomes less about one old take and more about whether Brunson can finally force critics to admit they were wrong. Evan and Tiki break down the nuance in Hammon's argument, the historical comparisons to Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Steph Curry, and Isiah Thomas, and why Knicks fans have stayed so fired up about it. The conversation also branches into Giants concerns, a locker room social media controversy involving Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart, and the potential chaos of a presidential visit to Madison Square Garden during the NBA Finals.

Evan and Tiki marvel at the New York Knicks reaching the NBA Finals after decades of struggle, praising Jalen Brunson's leadership. They dissect Reggie Miller's commentary, critique political sports blunders by Kathy Hochul, and explore upcoming summer movies like Toy Story 5. 01:50 - Reggie Miller's Knicks Comments 06:38 - Tommy Lugauer's Knicks Rant 10:26 - Dopey Yankees Trade Proposal 17:54 - Predicting Knicks Series Outcomes 21:33 - Kathy Hochul's Knicks Gaffe 27:45 - Becky Hammon's Brunson Critique 31:52 - Knicks' Path to Finals 40:19 - Skinwalker Ranch Alien Debate 43:43 - Summer Movie Blockbuster Talk

Jerry is here with the sounds of OKC beating the Spurs to go up 3-2 in the series. Shaq was on the Rich Eisen show and said he was wrong about the Knicks. Becky Hammon said the two best teams are in the west but she's up to being proven wrong. The Yankees destroyed the Royals, 15-1. The Mets lost again and only scored 2 runs. Packer Josh Jacob has been accused of domestic abuse among other things.

We start with Becky Hammon's resurfaced comments on Jalen Brunson and Boomer comparing Brunson to Aaron Judge. Jerry updates us on OKC going up 3-2 on the Spurs, Shaq admitting he was wrong about the Knicks, Gio apologizing to Ben Stiller, and Hammon favoring the West. Then, the Yankees destroy the Royals 15-1, the Mets lose again with David Peterson questioned for not backing up home plate, and Josh Jacobs faces domestic abuse accusations. We close with Patrick from SpongeBob reading the Mets' lineup.

We kick off with Becky Hammon's Jalen Brunson comments, the Knicks' future, OKC's series lead, a 15-1 Yankees blowout, and a tough Mets loss. Next, Boomer addresses the Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart viral drama, followed by social media algorithm talk, an "unacceptable" Brewers crotch thrust, and Ray J's podcast appearance. Then, Boomer reviews the movie Pressure, Gio discovers a "Primal Viking" supplement, Ron Darling critiques the Mets, and Wembanyama "lays an egg." We wrap up with Greg Olsen winning an Emmy, John Harbaugh brushing off locker room fodder, Jerry singing Bob Dylan, a positive Mets fan calling in, and Hank farting on Pardon My Take.

The Las Vegas Aces' 2025 WNBA championship run didn't follow a normal script — and that's exactly what made it historic. On this episode of Hoopsology, we're joined by Krista Blunk, play-by-play voice of the Las Vegas Aces, for a deep breakdown of how a team many had written off early in the season flipped the switch and dominated the WNBA playoffs on their way to another championship. Krista takes us inside: Why the Aces struggled early and why those concerns were valid How injuries and roster turnover tested the team's identity The moment A'ja Wilson stepped in and challenged the entire locker room How the team decided to “scout themselves” and completely reset Becky Hammon's evolution as a coach and her trust in a deeper bench The rise of key role players who became difference-makers Chelsea Gray's leadership and adjustment back into a true point guard role Why the Aces felt overlooked — and how that fueled their confidence We also discuss: The Aces' dominant sweep of the Phoenix Mercury The swagger and belief that carried them through the postseason A'ja Wilson's growth as both a leader and superstar Why she remains one of the most underrated and respected players in basketball The unmatched fan culture surrounding the Aces in Las Vegas Beyond the championship, Krista shares insight into: The future of the WNBA amid CBA negotiations Expansion teams and what they mean for the league The growing ecosystem of women's basketball Becky Hammon's long-term coaching future This conversation is about more than wins and losses — it's about resilience, leadership, culture, and what separates championship teams from the rest.

Want To Win Big? Focus Small - Mike CohnSomething momentous happened on December 20, 2020.Becky Hammon made history as the first woman to ever coach a men's team in a National Basketball Association professional game. Coach Hammon took over coaching the San Antonio Spurs when head coach Gregg Popovich was ejected in the first half.After the game, the press asked Coach Hammon what her thoughts had been when her glass-ceiling-busting moment arrived. She said, “Honestly, in the moment I was just trying to win the game. I say this a lot, but I try not to think about the huge picture and the huge aspect of it, because it can get overwhelming.”I love this attitude. Yes, Hammon was busting through a glass ceiling. And yes, winning the game is the big goal for her and her players. But she also knew that their best chance of winning was to focus on the short term and execute well, play by play. It's easy for teams–sports teams and agile ones–to get distracted by how much is riding on the outcome of their endeavor. However, great teams (and their coaches) know that the path to success is achieved one small, well-executed step at a time. For example, some teams stall—thinking they need to have a perfect and complete product backlog written before starting a project. The perfect, complete product backlog doesn't exist. And, if it did, it could only be written once the project is finished! I advise these teams to reframe the question. These teams are trying to answer the question, “What should we build overall?” They instead need to consider, “What should we build next?”Similarly, organizations stall in their agile adoption efforts waiting for the perfect project or the perfect team of people to become available.Or they try to map out every step they'll take on an agile transition.I worry these organizations have a Gantt chart covering their agile transition hanging on a wall somewhere.As with a team trying to write a perfect product backlog, an organization waiting for perfect conditions to go agile is asking the wrong question. And now for what famed radio host Paul Harvey called “The Rest of the Story.”When Coach Hammon's big moment arrived in 2020, the Spurs ultimately lost the game. And that's OK. You don't win every game you play or make every shot you take.But you know what Coach Hammon did in 2022? She led the Las Vegas Aces to their first WNBA Championship. Then did it again the year after that, making the Aces the first WNBA team in 20 years to repeat as champions in back-to-back years.Be like Coach Hammon. Focus on the next thing that needs to be done while keeping the ultimate goal in mind. When you do, you maximize your chances of taking your own teams from good to great,Success Doesn't Happen OvernightHow to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Hobo Day hiccup in 2025?Hardly a chance, or so it appears, with No. 2 South Dakota State barging through the second half in Youngstown to improve to 5-0 while 2-3 Northern Iowa stumbled through more growing pains under a new coaching staff in a 35-7 loss to North Dakota.But whenever UNI is listed on SDSU's football schedule as the homecoming opponent, some Jackrabbit fans — especially alumni from 2015 and 2017 — might wince in trauma from past Panther upsets.But is UNI worth any worry this Saturday? Sioux Falls Live sports editor Matt Zimmer has covered the Jacks for a decade and has his thoughts in the latest weekly edition of Happy Hour's "Nobody's Listening Anyway" with John Gaskins.SDSU coach Dan Jackson, in his weekly Happy Hour chat on Monday, conveyed a clear message about what he wants out of Jacks fans on Saturday — strong attempts at the biggest and loudest crowd in Dykhouse Stadium history — and this leads to a discussion about Jackson as the football program's "ambassador" and how natural that unofficial role is for him.Jackson credited his "great program" and "great culture" for the come-from-behind win at then-No. 24 YSU. But was it a great win? Zim and John break down what went wrong in the first half and why SDSU dominated the second half, assess the latest performance from quarterback Chase Mason, and the emerging strength of running back Julius Loughridge and the "605 Hogs" up front.From there, what is there to make of South Dakota's 49-24 win over Murray State, which has lost all of its nine Missouri Valley Conference games since joining the league last season? For at least a game, Travis Johansen was right when he told John last week that his program has too strong of a culture to let the season go off the rails. (Here is Johansen's follow-up chat from Tuesday, with plenty of insight about his defense, penalties, playing violent, and an update on retired predecessor Bob Nielson).The Coyotes have gone "back to the pack" of the rest of the MVFC challengers to NDSU and SDSU's supremacy, but where does USD, UND, Illinois State, Southern Illinois, and Youngstown State appear to be in the current picture?Then, a recap of the latest, incredible chapter in the "Key to the City" series between backyard rivals Augustana and the University of Sioux Falls in which the Vikings came back from a 28-10 fourth quarter deficit to win 29-28 at USF. While Carson Wentz played "fine" in guiding the Minnesota Vikings to their own fourth quarterback in London in another "boring, nondescript" overseas game, what fascinated Zim more than anything on Sunday morning was Will Reichard's fourth quarter field goal kick that was veered off line by striking a seemingly invisible camera — and how nobody seemed to know what the hell happened for a while.The episode ends with the battle between two native South Dakota head coaches in the WNBA Finals, Nate Tibbetts and Becky Hammon. As John mentioned to start Tuesday's show and Zim wrote in a Wednesday column, this source of Rushmore State pride has been decades in the making, a product of a state that has valued and supported girls and women's basketball since well before other states finally found it fashionable.
