Podcasts about Claxton

Can Nic Claxton become a high-level defensive center again for the Chicago Bulls? That's the major question Haize breaks down on today's Chicago Bulls Central.Claxton's defensive decline is real, but it may also be contextual. He went from a system that maximized his switchability and rim protection to years of changing coverages, weaker team defense, more offensive responsibility, and a significant back issue. The Bulls are betting that a healthier Claxton, placed in a cleaner role under Tiago Splitter, can recover much of his previous impact.The numbers show the drop: Claxton's blocks fell from 2.5 per game to 1.1, his block percentage dipped from 7.1% to 3.7%, defensive win shares dropped from 4.0 to 1.5, and his defensive box plus-minus slid from +2.2 to +0.6.Haize explains why Brooklyn's scheme changes, Claxton's back injury, declining roster talent, rebounding drop-off, and expanded offensive role all played a part — and why Chicago's path should be built around hybrid coverages, better point-of-attack defense, team rebounding from Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis, and workload management.Plus, the voicemail bag gets into Caleb Wilson's Rookie of the Year chances, Josh Giddey's All-Star odds, Matas Buzelis as a Most Improved candidate, summer league takeaways, Dailyn Swain concerns, and potential Bulls trade targets like Max Strus.

Multiple reports have pinned a Western Conference, playoff riser to Brooklyn. Can the Nets be in on a top tier center after the Claxton trade? Join Thomas Leuthner as he breaks it all down!

In this episode of Marrow Masters, we talk with Adam Claxton, a British acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivor who was diagnosed in 2024 and received a transplant in December 2024. He shares what early survivorship really feels like, especially the part no one prepares you for. Once treatment slows down, there is a gap between being a patient and figuring out who you are in the world again. Adam explains that around the 100 day mark, he felt dropped out of the system and forced to ask where he fit, what had changed, and who he was becoming after transplant. We also discuss graft versus host disease (GVHD) and how Adam reframes it. He calls it the price he pays for leukemic protection. That shift in perspective helps him see chronic GVHD not only as a complication, but also as evidence that the donor cells are doing their job. He is honest that it can be difficult physically and mentally, but he chooses to view it as part of survival and a sign that his body is being protected. A major focus of the conversation is mindset. Adam talks about mindset as something we have to work on daily, just like updating a device. He believes our thoughts shape how we feel, behave, and respond, and that mental habits matter just as much as physical recovery. He also opens up about relapse, calling it an even harder battle than the initial diagnosis. What helps him move through it is staying connected to his reasons for going on, including his family, his purpose, and his desire to help more people with his voice and experience. The episode also looks at faith over fear. Adam says both fear and faith still take you through the day, so he would rather choose the path that gives him hope. That same thinking connects to what he calls the reset after transplant. He realized he could not simply return to the same life, work, and identity he had before cancer. His priorities had changed, and so had his sense of purpose. Instead of trying to recover the old version of himself, he began building a new one. On a practical level, Adam shares advice about routines, mindfulness, exercise, social media boundaries, and finding joy again in simple things. One of his best suggestions is to go back to the things you loved doing around age 12, because those activities often reconnect you with peace, play, and presence. He also speaks warmly about the importance of support, especially from his wife and children, while reminding us that caregivers carry their own emotional burden too. By the end, Adam leaves listeners with a clear message. Survivors need to be kinder to themselves, own their stories, and start sharing what they have learned. His closing affirmation says it best: we can, we will, we must.

On this episode of The Just Mom Podcast, Ryan Bevins and JP Claxton dive into their organization called Fight Club (https://fightclub-us.com/), a movement created to give teens—especially young men—a safe place to talk about what they're really feeling.Fight Club was born from a simple but urgent realization: kids are struggling, and many don't know how to talk about it. What started as a response to that need has grown into something extraordinary. Ryan and JP share how Fight Club addresses the very real mental and spiritual battles kids face today. Through trust-building, peer-led conversations (with no adults in the room during sharing), these groups go deep—creating space for honesty, vulnerability, and growth.Fight Club is shifting the paradigm for young men, helping them learn how to name and express their emotions—often for the first time. Now with 29 groups and growing, the impact is undeniable. Some members have even taken the initiative to start Fight Club groups on their college campuses, carrying the mission forward.Ryan and JP also open up about their own journeys in learning how to talk about their feelings and share powerful stories that highlight just how life-changing Fight Club has been. Additionally, Fight Club for girls has launched, led by Ryan's wife.  Fight Club also has a new partnership with Kids TLC (https://www.kidstlc.org/), an inpatient mental health facility. This partnership brings Fight Club into a preventive care space, supported by two licensed therapists who attend Fight Club meetings.This conversation is hopeful, honest, and deeply needed—for parents, mentors, and anyone who cares about the next generation. IG: @fightclub_us  FB: Fight Club

Today our guest is Kendrick Claxton, Vice Principal at Central Middle School in Kansas City Public Schools. We talk about how positive school culture is built through systems that create belonging, safety, and consistent adult support. Kendrick shares how mentorship, trusted adults, and simple daily practices help students feel seen and supported. He highlights how consistency, not grand gestures, drives stronger engagement, safer schools, and better outcomes for students and staff. In this conversation, Kendrick offers clear answers to questions school leaders are asking every day: A sense of belonging is built when every student has a trusted adult and experiences consistent care. Simple systems like threshold greetings, and student feedback strengthen school culture and safety. Consistency matters more than programs because it creates psychological safety for students and staff. Strong mentorship supports higher engagement, fewer behavior incidents, and stronger academic outcomes.   Learn More About CharacterStrong:  Access FREE MTSS Curriculum Samples Request a Quote Today!

Brad and Ryan continue The 12 Days of Centers with a deep dive on Nic Claxton, one of the most intriguing defensive bigs on the market. Claxton brings elite switchability, rim protection, and mobility—traits that fit seamlessly next to Tyrese Haliburton in an up-tempo system. The guys break down Claxton's evolution in Brooklyn, his ability to guard in space while still protecting the rim, and why his vertical spacing and defensive versatility could unlock another level for the Pacers. They also discuss the concerns: limited offensive creation, durability questions, and what the realistic trade price might look like. Is Claxton the modern defensive anchor Indiana has been missing—or is the cost too steep for a non-scoring center? All that and more in Day 7. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
