O Cultura Pop chega ao episódio #144 para analisar a estreia de De'Aaron Fox com a camisa do Spurs. Destrinchamos os cinco primeiros jogos da raposa em San Antonio, sua química com o elenco, principais pontos positivos e as oportunidades de melhora. Outro assunto quente do episódio foi Mitch Johnson. Depois de um começo promissor, onde chegamos a sentir o dedo do treinador (LÁ ELE!), a era MJ vai ganhando contornos pouco auspiciosos. Teria o dedo do técnico ficado podre? Onde ele está errando? Por fim, falamos sobre as perspectivas do Spurs de agora até o final da temporada, de Stephon Castle pedindo passagem, de final de semana das estrelas, e muito mais. É isso, vem com a gente!

The Lakers still have an open roster spot that is earmarked for a center, to help fill in the depth chart behind Anthony Davis and (hopefully) Jaxson Hayes. For most of the summer, that choice has been framed, ideally, as one between Christian Wood and Bismack Biyombo. Very different players, but both established NBAers with defined skill sets.Of course, the Lakers have no leverage to get either one, since all they can offer is a veteran's minimum contract. So the wait continues.Now, though, a third player is ready to emerge as at least a possibility, since the Dallas Mavericks are reportedly ready to do what has been rumored for most of the offseason: Release McGee if they can't find a trade partner willing to take him. And since he played here already, and no former Laker can hit the market without being linked back to the team when back on the market, and because there are (in theory) reasonable arguments to be made for his return, well, people will make them.But is he what the Lakers need?Would they be better off waiting out Wood or Biyombo? Taking a flier on the most promising G-League center they can find? What about Colin Castleton? Where might he fit into this discussion?Finally, the Kobe Bryant statue unveiling will come on 2.8.24, a date with significance to the Bryant family and Lakers fans alike. Certainly the context around what a statue honoring Bryant might look like has radically and tragically changed. How the family and the franchise approach this moment will generate a great deal of discussion.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: JaVale McGee is reportedly going to be back on the market, finally. Is he a good option?SEGMENT 2: What are the scenarios in which McGee would make sense?SEGMENT 3: The Bryant statue unveiling date has been announced.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IbottaRight now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 just for trying Ibotta by using the code locked when you register.

On Monday, Aaron Larsuel (Official Lakers Podcast, All Access Lakers on Playback) joined the show for a deep dive on Anthony Davis.Today? We hit a bunch of subjects, starting with who ought to get that 14th spot. What type of player are the Lakers looking for? What matters more, the ability to play with Anthony Davis, or effectively sub for him in the games he (very likely) misses? How important is predictability? A good discussion to lay out the differences with Christian Wood and Bismack Biyombo, and who might serve the team's needs better.Next? Is it fair to have a wait and see attitude about Rui Hachimura, not quite ready to buy his playoff performance as a sign of things to come this season, while having full faith that the Austin Reaves we saw (particularly over the last half of the season) is what's coming this year? Especially as a shooter? A viewer on the YouTube page asks, and we answer.Finally, FanDuel Sportsbook has its NBA Futures odds posted. Some interesting lines for: The Lakers winning a title. Anthony Davis as MVP, and Defensive Player of the Year. Austin Reaves as Most Improved Player. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Guest, Aaron Larsuel) SEGMENT 1: Christian Wood or Bismack Biyombo?SEGMENT 2: What are fair expectations for Rui Hachimura?

The Lakers are among a group of teams across the NBA interested in signing free agent forward Christian Wood. One reason? Rob Pelinka would like to sign another big who doesn't share the same profile as Jaxson Hayes. Wood certainly qualifies there, with a much more polished offensive game and a general degree of skill Hayes has yet to come close to matching. On the other hand, he makes Hayes look like a DPOY candidate.So who is the competition for Wood? How long is this going to take to resolve itself?And is Wood the best option available for the Lakers, anyway?Are the Lakers better off here with a player who has a higher ceiling, but a lower floor, than a guy like Bismack Biyombo? For all of his shortcomings, Biyombo has an elite-level skill (rim protection) that will come in handy whether the Lakers have Anthony Davis in the lineup or not. What about Collin Castleton? Could he end up picking up some minutes for LA?Meanwhile... it's time to review the Summer Pro League experience for the Lakers. While the win/loss record doesn't matter, it's pretty easy to look at the important players the Lakers put out on the floor and leave impressed by what they did. For starters, Max Christie looked like he didn't belong in SPL because he was too good. That's exactly what you'd want from a guy in his second year (made more impressive because Christie is still younger than most of the players he was up against). Castelton and D'Moi Hodge both played like guys who understand how they can get on, and then stay on, an NBA roster. Smart, fundamentally sound, no loose risks with the ball, defined skill sets that can be utilized by a coaching staff. (Hodge, defense and shooting and Castleton, defense). No surprise both are older players, who the Lakers would love to see enter the rotation earlier rather than later.What about Jalen Hood-Schifino? He didn't shoot well, but what about the rest of his game?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Who are the Lakers competing against for Christian Wood's services?SEGMENT 2: Is Wood the right guy for what the Lakers need?SEGMENT 3: A Summer League review.

Torrey Craig finished with 13 points on 6-of-6 shooting, Cameron Payne added 12 points and Bismack Biyombo had 11 points and 13 rebounds.Bridges shot 10 of 13 from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range.Jonas Valanciunas led the Pelicans with 25 points and 10 rebounds.The Pelicans were missing a few of their best players because of injuries, including forwards Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. The Suns had their own injury issues: Starting center Deandre Ayton left in the first quarter with a sprained left ankle and didn't return, which was the reason Biyombo played 23 minutes.Hit the Link Tree for the socials!https://linktr.ee/thepromedianetworkGO GET THE OFFICIAL GEAR OF THE CHANNEL HERE!: https://tinyurl.com/PPR-Pels-Shop ORhttps://tinyurl.com/pelproshopPlease subscribe, like & share the shows link!

Pope Francis may have canceled his planned trip to Congo because of his bad knee, but he had a visit on June 21 from one of Congo's brightest basketball stars who briefed him on his humanitarian efforts back home. The Phoenix Suns' Bismack Biyombo had a private audience with Francis at the Vatican hotel where the pontiff lives. The 6-foot-9 Biyombo towered over the Argentine pope, even as he stood for photos. Francis, 85, has been using a wheelchair to get around after straining ligaments in his right knee. He had to postpone a planned July 2-7 visit to Congo and South Sudan because doctors said the trip would jeopardize his therapy. Biyombo said the Congolese people were patient and knew he would eventually come. “If he is not feeling good he can't get on a plane,” Biyombo told The Associated Press in St. Peter's Square after the audience. “I think if he wouldn't go to Congo, I will bring the Congo to him,” he said, laughing. The center, who has played 11 NBA seasons with the Suns, Charlotte Hornets, Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors, briefed Francis on his foundation, which began by teaching Congolese children basketball, then providing them scholarships, refurbishing schools and hospitals, and building a hospital in honor of his late father. “Just being able to be in the presence of the pope I think it's a blessing,” he said. “I wish I could have brought my mum here, but she's absolutely happy that I got to be able to do that and to get the pope's blessing.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

How about the top seeds in each conference of the NBA? Miami and Phoenix look like two different teams at home and on the road. Last night Miami blew out Philly and Phoenix ran Dallas out of the gym. Speaking of running out of the gym, the Mavs Marquese Chriss and the Suns Bismack Biyombo got ejected and Chriss ran into the tunnel and down the hallway trying to confront Biyombo. Why? Chriss is on his 5th team already and has played only 11 minutes in this series. Stupidity! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Click HERE https://2kgam.es/2K22HoopGenius thanks to our new sponsors at NBA2K22! Bismack Biyombo has made an instant impact since joining the Phoenix Suns on their quest for the elusive NBA championship that they came so close to last season. On today's show, he shares with us the more personal side of the past year of his life, as well as why he chose to join the Suns. The impact of his father passing away has led Bismack to donating his entire salary from this season to building a hospital in his father's honour back home in Congo. This just adds to the inspirational work Biyombo's foundation has achieved. Listen to his story on today's episode of the Hoop Genius Podcast.

Happy New Year, Suns fans! It has been a weird start to 2022 for the Suns, as they've seen a number of players and Monty Williams find themselves in the NBA's health and safety protocols. But those circumstances allowed the team to bring in Bismack Biyombo, who's impact was felt immediately, and allowed Jalen Smith to show what he can do. On this episode of Fanning the Flames, we discuss Biyombo's impact, Stix's future, and our favorite Suns moments from 2021.

Presentación invitado: Preparador físico de baloncesto. Experiencia ACB. Dirección de ASEPREB (Asociación Española de Preparadores Físicos de Baloncesto). https://www.asepreb.com/ Resumen de los contenidos del episodio: 1) Contexto en un entorno profesional Este año después de muchos años en ACB me encargo de dirigir la Asociación. Aunar esfuerzos entre todos para tener un marco común a través de los congresos y la web donde compartimos contenidos específicos de preparación física en baloncesto. 2) Filosofía de trabajo. Trabajo, trabajo y más trabajo. Me han puesto el San Benito de que soy muy duro y no voy a negarlo porque creo que sin trabajo diario va a ser muy difícil llegar a tus objetivos. Respeto máximo de todos los compañeros que trabajan con los jugadores. Ponerse en contacto con otros compañeros para facilitar la progresión del trabajo con el jugador y también seguir aprendiendo de otros compañeros. 3) Consideraciones de trabajo de fuerza La cualidad en la que debemos de poner énfasis. La individualidad debe priorizarse. Es algo que he cambiado mucho con los años, donde el trabajo era más grupal. Realizar una entrevista previa y luego en función de cada uno, adaptar. ¿Qué les gusta? Descubrir que les “va bien” y jugadores que llevan tiempo trabajando, se conocen muy bien y es muy importante respetar eso. ¿Qué le gusta hacer? ¿Qué es lo que sabe hacer? A mí me gusta hacer levantamientos olímpicos por ejemplo pero muchos jugadores no pueden hacerlo y por eso hay que adaptar. Un crítica que tengo que comentar, es que es difícil ver jugadores españoles con una buena técnica en este tipo de ejercicios en comparación por ejemplo con jugadores balcánicos que tienen una técnica envidiable. No recomiendo en temporada hacer ejercicios de este tipo, porque requiere mucho tiempo de aprendizaje. Evitar máquinas en la medida de lo posible y solo usarlas para trabajo complementario, readaptación, jugadores sin nada de experiencia para hacer adaptación anatómica. Me gusta más una selección de ejercicios de peso libre y con gran variedad. 4) La capacidad de adaptación a diferentes cuerpos técnicos. Con mucha resignación. No está en nuestras manos. He trabajado con 11 entrenadores ACB. He trabajado con gente muy Top y con entrenadores muy jóvenes que fueron antes jugadores, y siempre tenemos que intentar respetar a cada uno porque es difícil y a que cada uno tiene una forma de trabajar. Muchas veces hay que consensuar y no imponer. Tú eres un ayudante del entrenador y debemos intentar llegar a un consenso, ya que todos queremos lo mejor para nuestro equipo. En cuanto a jugadores, es muy enriquecedor entrenar a jugadores jóvenes, mayores, de diferentes etnias y es posible que haya aprendido más de los jugadores que de la universidad o compañeros de profesión porque entre todos suman mucha experiencia. Me acuerdo por ejemplo de Biyombo, que era un joven sin mucha preparación y ahora está en la NBA cobrando muchos millones de dólares y ese proceso es muy bonito. 5) ¿Qué has cambiado con el paso del tiempo? Muchas cosas. Sobre todo a la hora de escuchar. Al principio eres joven, nuevo en la liga, tienes mucha ilusión y vas revolucionado. Ahora me tomo las cosas desde otro punto de vista y me fijo mucho más en los detalles. Al final, nos vamos adaptando y en nuestra profesión nos basamos mucho en la ciencia que nos apoya constantemente. Esto también provoca muchos cambios y seguir formándose para estar al día. 6) Trabajo de fuerza. Filosofía e innegociables. No escuchar al jugador. Mis primeros años en ACB yo creía que las cosas había que hacerlas de una manera determinada. Bien porque me había ido bien a mi o porque lo leí en algún sitio o porque en cantera funcionó. No preguntarle al jugador sobre el proceso y consultarle constantemente es un gran error. A toro pasado creo que hubiera hecho las cosas de forma más eficiente y gracias a dios que lo cambié. Lo peor que te puede pasar es que el jugador pierda la confianza en ti. A mí nunca me ha pasado pero estoy seguro que si hubiera continuado con esa filosofía de mis primeros años, hubiera perdido más de una. 7) Consejos - Ser receptivo a escuchar al jugador. - Basarse en la experiencia y formación. - Gastamos mucho tiempo en la formación pero nos falta su aplicación. - Restarle importancia un poco a la titulitis. - No dejes de formarte pero atesorar mucha experiencia. - No tengas miedo a equivocarte. 8) ¿Cuál es el peor consejo que has escuchado? Un directivo que me dijo sobre un jugador que teníamos que mantener contento a cierto jugador y que lo que decía iba a misa, porque era un jugador que nos sacaba las castañas del fuego. El jugador era un cago redomado, anarquista y al final ¿Qué pasó? Que descendimos. Yo no seguí este consejo de este directivo, pero seguí trabajando y claro, no tenía muy buenas migas con este jugador en concreto. 9) ¿Cuál ha sido tu mejor momento? La copa del rey de A Coruña, fue un momento muy especial. El descenso fue seguro el peor momento porque es una situación muy amarga. Era el equipo de mi ciudad. 10) ¿Qué adaptaciones realizas en un equipo que pelea por descenso? Cambias cosas a nivel socio-afectivo. Yo no podía intentar que ese mismo trabajo el año anterior nos llevase a la copa del rey, ese año nos metiera en descenso. Cuando estas en esta situación de dinámica negativa, donde no paras de perder, tuvimos 3 entrenadores diferentes y el día a día es muy u complicado. Las estrategias siempre son más socio-afectivas que la propia forma de entrenar. 11) ¿Cuál ha sido tu mejor inversión? Es personal. El haber conocido tantas personas relacionadas con el baloncesto y la oportunidad de poder charlar con ellos sobre situaciones concretas de entrenamiento o con jugadores. Nutrirme de su experiencia y recomendaciones. 12) Bibliografía recomendada. - Como ganar amigos e influir en las personas. Dale Carnegie. 13) Consejo al Javier de 20 años. “Baja un poco de revoluciones en ti siempre”. Tómate las cosas con un poco más de tranquilidad. Céntrate en el detalle, consulta con el jugador para ser más eficiente.

This week we are joined by Chris Walder of the Walder SportsCast. Chris is a former NBA writer for theScore and we sit down and discuss the Raptors season to date. We breakdown the winning streak coming to an end in Brooklyn. What are our favourite moments from the first half of the season? Is a return of Biyombo in the cards for Toronto as we enter the buyout market? Who else could be a fit? We discuss the expectations for the team in the second half of the season and we share our thoughts if the Raptors have surpassed the Leafs as the most popular franchise in Toronto.

Richie, Spencer, and Brian evaluate the team halfway through the season. The trio hand out midseason awards — good and bad. They also discuss if it's worth re-signing Biyombo or if Dwayne Bacon is a trade chip come deadline.

Richie and Spencer react to the 106-107 loss in the first game of the preseason for the Charlotte Hornets. There were positives to take away as well as some things that could become worrisome. The "One Stinging Question" segment ends with Bridges and Biyombo.Thanks to our partners Axios and Harrys.

DFSR’s Doug Norrie breaks down a huge, 11 game slate in the NBA tonight with a ton to consider throughout the day. Injury news is going to be the story today with all kinds of stuff hanging out there in the wind. Vucevic has already been rule out which means we can go back to the Biyombo well again with other Magic coming in as value plays. Some of the more interesting teams include the Hornets who are going to be without Kaminsky, the Bulls who may be without Butler and Wade, the Rockets possibly without Ryan Anderson and Nikola Jokic’s status up in the air.  Then at the end of the podcast Doug talks with DFSR’s lead PGA analyst Chris Durell about things to look out for in this weekend’s Valspar Championship.

Bismack Biyombo is not known for his offense . . . at all. But the Orlando Magic can still find a way to use him successfully to benefit their offense. On today's episode, I discuss how the Magic can use Biyombo effectively to help the offense (7:10). I also explore the idea of whether Nikola Vucevic can produce more off the bench (14:50).
