The Ultimate GOAT Showdown: When Facts Made LeBron Fan Howard L. Young Leave Mid-DebateWe recently hosted an intense debate on the "Real Talk with Kingsley Ogwudire" podcast, featuring Howard L. Young, a staunch LeBron James fan. The discussion centered around the age-old question: Who is the true GOAT of basketball? Despite Howard's unwavering support for LeBron, the facts and numbers spoke volumes and led to an unexpected conclusion — Howard leaving the debate mid-way.Here's a recap of some of the critical points that cement Michael Jordan's status as the GOAT:1. Championships and Finals MVPsMichael Jordan: 6 NBA Championships, 6 Finals MVPs. Jordan never lost in the Finals, maintaining a perfect 6-0 record.LeBron James: 4 NBA Championships, 4 Finals MVPs. LeBron's Finals record stands at 4-6, showing resilience but not the same level of dominance.2. Scoring Titles and AwardsMichael Jordan: 10 Scoring Titles, 5 MVP Awards, and 1 Defensive Player of the Year. Jordan was an offensive and defensive powerhouse.LeBron James: 1 Scoring Title, 4 MVP Awards. While LeBron has been consistently great, he hasn't matched Jordan's scoring dominance.3. Playoff Performance Against Top TeamsJordan's Record Against 50 and 60 Win Teams:24 series played against 50+ win teams, with a record of 20-4.7 series played against 60+ win teams, with a record of 4-3.Playoff scoring average: 33.4 points per game.LeBron's Record Against 50 and 60 Win Teams:24 series played against 50+ win teams, with a record of 10-14.10 series played against 60+ win teams, with a record of 5-5.Playoff scoring average: 28.7 points per game.4. Clutch Moments and Killer InstinctMichael Jordan: Known for his "killer instinct," Jordan's clutch performances are legendary. From "The Shot" against the Cavaliers to his game-winning shot in the 1998 Finals, he thrived under pressure.LeBron James: While LeBron has had his share of clutch moments, he has often faced criticism for passing the ball in critical situations instead of taking the shot himself.5. Global Impact and Cultural InfluenceMichael Jordan: Revolutionized the NBA's global appeal. The "Air Jordan" brand is iconic and transcended basketball, making him a global cultural icon.LeBron James: Has used his platform for social justice and philanthropy, significantly impacting off the court. However, in terms of cultural influence within basketball, Jordan set the bar.During the debate, it became evident that while LeBron's versatility, longevity, and off-court contributions are commendable, the sheer dominance and impeccable record of Michael Jordan in the most critical moments of the game give him the edge as the GOAT.Howard L. Young, faced with these compelling arguments and undeniable facts, chose to leave the debate early, possibly overwhelmed by the mountain of evidence in favor of Jordan.The Verdict: Numbers, accolades, and legacy don't lie. Michael Jordan remains the GOAT of basketball, with a legacy that continues to inspire and define the sport.Tune in to "Real Talk with Kingsley Ogwudire" for more heated debates and in-depth discussions on the biggest topics in sports and beyond!

NBA legend Bill Russell passed away on July 31, 2022 at the age of 88. When Russell passed, Jim was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, unaware that one of the best players in NBA history was no longer with us. A tribute to Russell has been long overdue. Jim covers Russell's life, before exploring five areas of Russell's career that go slightly overlooked by most (10:17). This includes topics such as just how great of a passer Russell was to how many Finals MVPs and Defensive Player of the Year awards Russell may have won if either award existed when he played. Finally, Jim reveals where Russell fits on his list of the best players in NBA history (40:00).

The 2003 NBA Draft was one of the most talent-laden drafts in the history of the League. Multiple championships, MVPs, Finals MVPs and All-Stars shook the commissioner's hand on that night and found new life on their teams. But one pick will always stand out. With the second overall pick, the Detroit Pistons selected Darko Milicic, letting players like Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh slide. What if they smartened up and took Melo? Extra: Serge has an interesting week with fans of a sports website that shall not be named, and "Sports are... back?"

Anthony and Alex Talk Stuff is back this week to talk about some more NBA Finals! Game 5 is one of the best Finals games of this decade, Kevin Durant’s injury, the impact on NBA Free Agency and how successful the one and done model has been with Kawhi Leonard. Press Play and Come Join Us!   Game 5 Excellence Is Mired In Tragedy The Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors were firing on all cylinders to start Game 5 ( 1:50 ). Durant was back and doing Durant things, the spacing was back, the Splash Brothers were confident and everything was going in for the Warriors early. But the Raptors still were only down 6 by the end of the best played quarter of basketball in this NBA Finals. The thought was “Oh, it’s on!” until after 3 minutes into the second quarter, KD collapsed to the hardwood in pain. The replay showed, what we all feared, that the calf injury that had kept him out of the lineup for a month, was further exacerbated and Durant had torn his Achilles.   A gruesome injury that few players have had but that has changed the course of their entire career. We don’t know what the future holds for Kevin Durant now or on what team he’ll be cheering for next year. We only know what this injury has changed the course of the NBA and will be looked back upon as a landmark ‘What If’ a decade from now.   But alas, the game continued, with the Warriors struggling to hang on to the lead until Kawhi Leonard’s superhuman effort in the fourth quarter put the Raptors up 6 with around 3 minutes left to play. Kawhi’s twelve straight points looked to be a dagger in the heart of Dub Nation, drawing comparisons to his Airness himself. The champs showed their heart and their mental toughness by responding with 3 straight three-pointers from none other than Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to snatch a victory and the title away from Toronto. Now we are on to Game 6 and possibly Game 7 but even after that amazing game, the story comes back to KD and what happens next?   The Injury That Changed The Entire NBA In A Second So KD is hurt…..now what?? Durant’s journey these last 3 years as a member of the Warriors has been a really crazy rollercoaster when you think about it ( 11:55 ). The highs of winning titles and Finals MVPs but the lack of social acceptance and basketball immortality has left a bad taste in his mouth and we were ready to move on and leave on top. The perfect movie ending of 3 titles in 3 years with 3 NBA Finals MVPs is no longer in play as Durant must make a decision to move to a new city, a new life as a highly paid cheerleader or stay at home with the world he knows. It will definitely be an interesting summer for free agents but this injury just threw the whole damn league for a loop.   Everything seemed preordained and things were rounding into shape as June 30th draws near but now the world is upside down. Now some parts will stay the same like Kyrie Irving going to the Brooklyn Nets, Kawhi on the move ( 24:00 ) and potentially even Kevin Durant going to the New York Knicks but what really changes is the Anthony Davis sweepstakes.   Paul George, Kawhi Leonard…...Anthony Davis Next? The new, up and coming trend just may be the One-And-Done model. The idea to get a superstar in the final year of their contract and convince them to stay just might find its foothold in the league and Anthony Davis may be next ( 26:45 ). Now the most likely scenario is that the Lakers or Celtics find a way to trade for the young superstar but could a third, unsuspecting team get thrown into the mix? The race to get Anthony Davis this offseason, despite the Pelicans demands, is the hot topic of the league. The whole matter could be over by this weekend but who is in the running? Will the Lakers throw everything they have in, could the Celtics disregard Davis’ wishes or will a multiple team trade be the way to go?   With the success of Kawhi’s run in Toronto, teams can only hope to replicate their success with potential free agents in the future ( 32:54 ).

Valur swept Keflavík quite handily 3-0 in the Women's Finals and KR defeated ÍR after a grueling five game series that left some players injured. The silly season has already started with teams signing players and coaches left and right. Tindastóll bought the coach that beat them and Valur appears to be building a strong culture with good coaches through all of the youth and senior teams. Some teams might be in trouble next year if they keep losing players and coaches and we talk about key re-signings for others.

Its officially the End of an Era in the NBA Dirk Nowitizki and Dwyane Wade both played their final games in the NBA last night, two tremendous careers are coming to a close both filled with Finals MVPs, championships and all-star credentials. Two 1st ballad Hall of Famers that will be missed, Kenny & Keon discuss their respective legacies and what they mean to the game of basketball. Magic Johnson shockingly steps down as the President of Basketball Operations for the Los Angeles Lakers after only 2 years on job, with a season that already ended in turmoil and many questions left to be answered. Do the Lakers still have enough cache to land another superstar in the offseason to play with LeBron and restore the Lakers back to dominance?

Season’s change and so do opinions. LeBron James just completed his 15th NBA season. And as always, the debate rages on as to whether he’s the greatest NBA player of all-time. In this corner, stands the forever GOAT in my eyes, Michael Jordan. 6 NBA Championships, 5 MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs, countless career highlights. I spend this episode debating one topic and one topic only: Who’s the GOAT? Chris Hardwick cost Comic Book Men 100 episodes. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hyphen-nation/support

In der 223. Ausgabe bespricht Host Jonathan Walker mit Redakteur Julian Lage das Team aus der Bay Area. Die meisten Spieler waren Free Agents, darunter mit Curry, Durant und Iguodala alle MVPs und Finals-MVPs der Warriors. Wie hat man es geschafft, alle wichtigen Free Agents zu halten? Hilft Nick Young, oder hätte man die Tax-MLE besser anders investiert? Was bringen die jüngeren Talente? Kratzt das Team wieder an den 70 Siegen, oder lässt man es in der regulären Saison eher ruhiger angehen und schont die Starter so viel es geht? Haben Curry oder Durant Chancen auf einen weiteren MVP-Award? Das und vieles mehr erfahrt ihr im Pod. Natürlich wie bei jeder Preview mit drin: Tradekandidate(n), wertvollstes Asset, Over-/Underrated, Best/Worst Case und unsere Wette auf Over/Under!

After an offseason of awkward social media interactions and reports that Butler is displeased with both Towns and Wiggins, sources have now said that Butler will not re-sign with the Timberwolves.

NBA Rule Changes - Hostile Act Rule: Becoming stricter; more ejections - Clear Path: No more intentional fouls to stop fast breaks - Shot Clock: Reset to 14 seconds after offensive rebounds 5.) Last year's rookie class was a stellar one, and these former rookies have been putting in work over the offseason. Who will have the best sophomore season and who will be the sophomore surprise? 6.) Walt Frazier recently added his name to the list of people to throw shade at KD, by saying the Warriors didn't need him and that he'll have an asterik next to his FInals MVPs and Titles.  7.)
