Podcast appearances and mentions of Giannis Antetokounmpo

Cam Smith and K.C. Johnson dive into a tough stretch for the Bulls, starting with Saturday night's loss to the Bucks and the challenges that came with it. They discuss the impact of injuries, including Zach Collins, and dive into standout performances from Anthony Edwards and Giannis Antetokounmpo, with a closer look at Giannis' dominant showing against Chicago. The conversation continues with Giannis' late windmill dunk that sparked a postgame scuffle and a debate over whether it crossed the NBA's unwritten rules. Cam and K.C. also recap Monday night's loss to the Timberwolves, examine the injury concerns surrounding Coby White and Josh Giddey, and reflect on their own personal injury histories to put the latest developments into perspective.

Jon and Aaron are back and dealing with the Packers injury riddled loss to Baltimore.  Then they talk about the Bucks and the choice between finding help for Giannis or trading him.  Then some NCAA basketball before a Last Call featuring the Kwik Trip Holiday Faceoff.  Also, good luck to UW River Falls football!

The Chicago Bulls found themselves at the center of NBA controversy after a heated Bulls vs Bucks matchup ended with a late-game windmill dunk by Giannis Antetokounmpo that sparked a postgame brawl. On this episode of Horns Over Hoops, Sal Bass, Dan Gracie, and Scott Berman break down everything that went wrong — and what it might mean for the Bulls moving forward. Despite the loss to Milwaukee, the Bulls showed real signs of growth, competing hard against one of the Eastern Conference's top teams. Chicago's recent five-game winning streak, improved ball movement, and defensive effort suggest the Bulls season may finally be turning around. We analyze the Bucks game, Giannis' minutes restriction, Bobby Portis' role in the scuffle, and whether the Bulls earned respect around the league. The conversation then shifts to the future of the Chicago Bulls roster. Is Kobe White worth a $30 million contract? Should the Bulls trade him before the deadline? What role should Patrick Williams, Matas Buzelis, and Jalen Smith play going forward? The crew debates lineup changes, offensive rebounding issues, and why Chicago struggles against physical superstars. Paragraph 4 (Bulls Season Outlook + Fan Engagement) With the Bulls sitting near the Play-In Tournament, questions loom about whether this team should push forward or pivot toward development. We also cover Tuesday Trivia, Bulls vs Bucks history, and New Year's resolutions for the team as Chicago heads into the most important stretch of the season.

The Spurs continue to dominate OKC and look far ahead of schedule, raising serious questions about Thunder matchups in a playoff series. JJ Redick publicly challenges the Lakers, but is calling out veterans like LeBron the right move - or a coaching mistake? We dig into why point differential matters more than record, why the Lakers' wins may be misleading, and which Western Conference teams are built for playoff basketball. Plus: Jokic's historic numbers, Steph Curry getting trapped late, Toronto's big win over Golden State, Giannis' controversial dunk, the Bucks' ceiling, Cleveland's injury spiral, and whether Boston's culture makes Jaylen Brown an MVP-level force. This episode also looks ahead to 2026 league trends, half-court offense in the playoffs, and which teams are rising or falling as the season settles in. Real basketball talk. No narratives.

The Christmas break is over and we got a bunch of rain & precipitation the last few days before getting snow dumped on top of that. Driving this morning was atrocious! Back to the grind for a few days this week before we'll once again be off for the New Year's holiday on Thursday & Friday. Speaking of New Year's, a new poll revealed what Americans really want to do on NYE. And since it is the end of 2025 this week, we looked at some end-of-the-year data from YouTube and Google. In the news, the Powerball was won on Christmas Eve by someone in Arkansas, the body of a missing swimmer is recovered, a #FloridaMan killed his wife & shot his stepdaughter over an argument about an NFL game, and the government is investigating a deadly crash involving two helicopters in New Jersey. In sports, a recap of this weekend's NFL action and a look at some of the important matchups in Week 18 with serious playoff implications! Myles Garrett is still looking for one sack to set the NFL record for sacks in a season. Plus, several other NFL records that could be set during the final week of play. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and discussed the things we were watching over the holiday break. Elsewhere in sports, the Bucks got Giannis back and saw immediate returns on that, the Badger men's basketball team gets back on the court tomorrow night, and a look at the Bowl game schedule. Great story about the power of positivity in Wisconsin as a small community comes together to find a missing dog. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a math teacher who sent sexually explicit texts to her fifth grade student, a man who is suing Outback Steakhouse after he claims a toilet injured him, a doomsday mom who allegedly abducted her four children and fled the country, and a video game addict who left a huge mess in a hotel room.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Malik Willis was fantastic but the Packer run defense couldn't stop a nose bleed on Saturday night. Shades of Joe Barry at Lambeau in a 41-24 loss to the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens. Now the Packers are locked into the #7 seed, and the Bears are division champs. Packers in Minnesota for the regular season finale with nothing on the line. Giannis returns from his calf injury and starts a little dust up at the end of a win against the Bulls on Saturday night, and College Football Playoffs resume on Wed/Thursday.

Victor Wembanyama doesn't even need to start to completely flip a game on its head. On this episode of The Alley Oop Basketball Show on DLS Hoops, Juju Gotti and Trysta Krick break down how Wemby lifted the Spurs just by coming off the bench — blocking everything in sight, dominating the paint, and casually stuffing the stat sheet like it's light work. The hosts also dig into the growing tension between Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks — is this the beginning of a real breakup, or just another NBA power struggle brewing behind the scenes? And finally… Steph Curry might be the only superstar in the league who can sell shoes while barely wearing his own.  Juju and Trysta react to Steph rocking seemingly every sneaker brand except his own, and what that says about sneaker culture, endorsements, and Curry's legacy. From generational talent to franchise drama to sneaker comedy — this episode has it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Nate and Danny tackle Western Conference mailbag questions from the Dallas Mavericks through the LA Lakers, digging into star-trade calculus, emerging young players, and which contenders really scare OKC and Denver.Dallas Mavericks — 0:55Is Max Christie's 65% true shooting for real, and if/when his shooting regresses, can he still be a starter on a championship team?How should Dallas value and time a potential Anthony Davis trade—what kind of package is “enough,” how much does the extension/player option risk matter, and is it better to move him now or wait?Given their place in the standings and draft-lottery odds, how low can Dallas realistically fall in the West, and how much does that affect the urgency to trade Davis?Would a Trae Young–for–Anthony Davis swap make sense for either the Mavericks or the Hawks in terms of fit and direction?How does the Derek Lively–Cason Wallace–Dāvis Bertāns draft-night trade look 2.5 years later for both Dallas and OKC, and which side would you rather be on now?Denver Nuggets — 17:57How has Peyton Watson grown offensively, and is he finally ready to be a reliable playoff-rotation player?Why is Zeke Nnaji still getting minutes over DaRon Holmes—are the Nuggets trying to pump up Nnaji's trade value, or do they genuinely see him as the better fit?What are Denver's best and worst potential playoff matchups in the first two rounds (with OKC assumed as the 1-seed and off the board)?Golden State Warriors — 28:40As in so many recent seasons, the Warriors hit mid-December around .500—what's the single biggest factor that can actually turn their season around?Is there any realistic “retool” path where Golden State trades some of the youth to become a legitimate threat again in games where Steph drops 40+ (e.g., moving Pods/Kuminga plus picks for a real starter)?Is the fan criticism of Brandin Podziemski this year justified—how good is he actually and what are his limitations?How much faith should we have in the Warriors' front office to build another contender post-Steph based on their track record?What's the most likely resolution with Jonathan Kuminga—do the Warriors still see him as a core piece, or is he basically just flotsam matching salary at this point?With Steph still playing at an elite level but the team stuck in the middle, are the Warriors really in an intractable “can't blow it up / can't contend” quandary, or is the path forward actually straightforward?Houston Rockets — 44:17If Giannis becomes available, should the Rockets not go after him this season because of OKC's dominance and instead wait to add another star later, or is this exactly the kind of opportunity you must seize?How much better would Giannis actually make Houston in the next 2–3 years compared with just riding out growth with Alperen Şengün and the current core—and is a Şengün-for-Giannis framework ever worth it?Is a core trio of Amen Thompson–Şengün–Giannis really viable given their combined limitations, and if so, who becomes the odd man out long-term?Is Reed Sheppard being misused when he's just parked in the corner while others run the offense—are the Rockets wasting his on-ball skills by treating him like a pure 3-and-D guard?Including possible trades, who is the bigger playoff threat to the Thunder this year: the Spurs or the Rockets?LA Clippers — 53:52Do the Clippers' struggles this season help them at all when the league decides Kawhi Leonard's punishment, or is that totally irrelevant to discipline?How much of the Clippers' disaster season is real underlying weakness versus bad clutch luck and opponent shooting luck (teams bombing threes against them)?What is the most likely course of action for the Clippers at the trade deadline—could they or should they do any kind of “firesale” given they owe so many picks?In hindsight, did the Clippers have the worst offseason—essentially gifting Miami an All-Star-caliber Norman Powell while signing a washed Brook Lopez—and how badly did that set them back?What are the realistic odds the Clippers can claw back to the 10th seed and at least mildly salvage their season?LA Lakers — 1:04:21The Lakers' record is great but their net rating is mediocre—what are their biggest weaknesses or needs, and do they actually play well enough consistently to reach the West finals or NBA Finals?In the MVP discussion, did you underrate Luka Doncic compared with Giannis—if you swapped their team contexts (Luka on the Bucks, Giannis on the Lakers/Mavs), how would that affect their cases, especially when you account for defense?With LeBron driving less and spending more time on the perimeter, would the Lakers' offense be better if they used him more in the post/elbow or as a handoff hub instead of having him just initiate from outside?
