Former NBA player and Atlanta Hawks GM Landry Fields joins Ric Bucher for a special edition of On The Ball to pull back the curtain on Project B, the ambitious new global basketball league aiming to rethink how professional basketball is played, presented and consumed.Fields, now Project B's head of men's basketball, confirms that players are already signed, says recognizable names are coming to the men's side and reveals that announcements should begin rolling out soon. He explains why Project B believes it can lure elite talent with player equity, fewer games and back-to-backs, competitive compensation, greater career longevity and opportunities to build truly global brands. Fields also lays out Project B's unusual F1-style global model, integrating men and women on the same platform while taking events to cities and countries around the world. He discusses the worldwide search for talent, why the women are currently leading Project B's development, and what he learned about leadership, culture and decision-making from stops with the San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks and Overtime Elite.Fields also gets candid about his Hawks tenure and the lesson he carries forward: when you're the decision-maker, set the vision, own the vision and build toward it.And, yes, Ric also uncovers one of the more unexpected chapters of Fields' résumé: the former Knick once impersonated Nicki Minaj, Pitbull and Lionel Richie on national television.

After a quick Cavs update touching on James Harden's offseason drama and the roster's EuroLeague pickups, the show turns back to the Browns when caller Tony argues Jimmy Haslam won't let Shedeur Sanders start Week 1 because keeping him in reserve preserves fan intrigue and ticket sales for a season the team doesn't expect to win. Ken pushes back that Haslam is likely deferring to Todd Monken's football judgment rather than dictating the decision himself, but agrees with the business logic Tony lays out if neither quarterback is considered good long-term. Ken argues there's still more curiosity left in Sanders than in Deshaun Watson, so holding him back keeps something in reserve for later in a lost season either way.

EuroLeague CEO, Chus Bueno, outlines his vision for transforming European basketball through a franchise model, league expansion and a direct-to-consumer strategy. He discusses the EuroLeague's valuation, why investors are lining up for new franchises, and how the organisation plans to unlock the value of its 65 million fans. Chus also shares his perspective on the NBA's ambitions in Europe, whether cooperation is still possible, and why he believes the EuroLeague remains the strongest platform for growing basketball across the continent.Key Points:Can the EuroLeague's new franchise model unlock significant value and accelerate the growth of basketball across Europe? Should the EuroLeague and NBA work together in Europe, or is competition between two rival leagues inevitable? Why are investors willing to pay significant expansion fees for EuroLeague franchises despite the NBA's plans for the market? How can a direct-to-consumer strategy help the EuroLeague better monetise its fan base and close the gap with other major sports properties?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos and Bo Nix. Zach explains Bo Nix's struggles against zone coverage and how he needs to improve in this area of his game. How will Jaylen Waddle help Nix's zone coverage problems? We look into Sean Payton's history and how his offenses have always spread the ball around to all the playmakers on the team. Will we see a lopsided amount of production from any one individual? Could we see two Broncos go for 1,000 receiving yards? We react to Colin Cowherd's comments on wanting to have Bo Nix in a 4th quarter rather than Lamar Jackson. We react to the impressive 2027 recruiting class Deion Sanders is building up in Boulder. How long will it take for this recruiting class to make a difference for CU, and does Deion have enough time to let them develop? We wrap up the show by recapping what we learned in Denver sports today, with Jonas Valanciunas leaving the NBA and signing with a EuroLeague team and the Avalanche's season-opening game being announced for September 30th.

Nuggets sign EuroLeague Defender of the Year to one-year deal by Jaggy Sports

Has the NBA lost sight of what made it great?In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher argues that professional basketball has drifted away from championships, community and competitive integrity—and toward gambling, profits and personal brands. Against that backdrop, one player stands apart: Jalen Brunson, whose willingness to sacrifice more than $100 million to give the New York Knicks their best chance at a title represents everything Ric believes the modern NBA is missing.Ric also examines how legalized gambling, fantasy sports, player empowerment and ownership priorities have fundamentally changed the relationship between fans and teams, reflects on what he witnessed at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas and EuroLeague basketball in Greece, revisits Portland's ownership situation, and explains why LeBron James' free agency isn't nearly as wide open as some would have you believe.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Introduction and why this episode is different01:00 – Has negativity become the business model of modern sports?03:00 – Team USA, officiating and technology gone too far05:00 – Why Jalen Brunson represents everything right about the NBA07:00 – Brunson's sacrifice, championships and becoming a Knicks legend08:00 – Summer League, Las Vegas and the NBA's changing priorities10:00 – When business overtook basketball12:00 – Gambling partnerships and the league's integrity problem14:00 – How sports betting has changed media coverage and fandom15:00 – What EuroLeague fans still understand that NBA fans are losing18:00 – Why community matters more than star power20:00 – Fantasy sports, player empowerment and shifting fan loyalty22:00 – Team relocations and why cities keep losing24:00 – Lessons from Oakland, Sacramento and Portland27:00 – Why team ownership is more than a business investment28:00 – Revisiting LeBron James' free agency market30:00 – Why the 76ers' moves tell a different story31:00 – Which teams actually make sense for LeBron?33:00 – Why Cleveland remains the ending that makes the most sense34:00 – Final thoughts#NBA #JalenBrunson #NewYorkKnicks #LeBronJames #NBASummerLeague #NBAFreeAgency #PortlandTrailBlazers #SportsBusiness #SportsMedia #RicBucher #OnTheBall #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

In this episode, Tyler Clark and Coleman Ayers sit down with Andrew Antelidze, a 25-year-old assistant coach and scout with BC Žalgiris in the EuroLeague. Originally from the Republic of Georgia, Andrew broke into professional basketball through a connection he built while working with the Georgian national team, eventually earning a role under head coach Andrea Trinchieri before expanding his responsibilities under Rokas Masoulis. At just 23, he joined the Žalgiris organization and has since been part of one of the club's most historic seasons, finishing fifth in the EuroLeague.The conversation covers a wide range of tactical ground, from video coordination and scouting philosophy to offensive frameworks, defensive analytics, and practice structure. Andrew shares how Žalgiris built their offense around first-eight-second and last-eight-second shot principles, why tagging up has been a staple of their defense for three seasons, and how they use energy charts and smart fouling metrics to drive physicality. The episode closes with an honest discussion about player development constraints in European basketball, the challenge of developing players during a nine-month season, and what it takes for a young coach to earn and keep a seat at an elite table.TimestampsAndrew joins;
