The guys dig into the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ignore: would Giannis actually survive New York? From his defensive postgame press conferences in Milwaukee to the recent fan booing incident, they explain why that behavior might fly with the Bucks but would explode instantly at Madison Square Garden. Evan and Tiki debate the mercenary reality of New York sports, the brutal expectations that come with it, and why winning immediately would be Giannis' only protection. The conversation then spills into Knicks roster fit, Karl-Anthony Towns trade value, Mike Brown's eyebrow-raising schedule comments, and a spirited Super Bowl breakdown with Seahawks-Patriots predictions from callers.

With the trade deadline nine days away, Ian Begley joins to cut through the noise on the Giannis chatter and what it really means for the Knicks. Begley explains why Milwaukee is still more likely to wait until the offseason, but teams are doing their homework now in case Giannis decides he is ready to be “the bad guy” and ask out. The guys dig into why Jrue Holiday rumors keep getting tied to the Knicks, not as a standalone move, but as a way to make a Giannis pitch more attractive if a bidding war forms. They also tackle the uncomfortable Karl-Anthony Towns conversation, with Begley acknowledging the comments and body language are not nothing, even if it is unclear how deep the issue runs. Begley then gives a blunt answer on the biggest question for Knicks fans: is this roster built to win a title as it is? His view is no, even while admitting the postseason can flip narratives fast. Finally, they get into the practical side of a deadline move, what the Knicks can realistically offer, why certain rotation pieces are hard to move, and how any big swing would have to account for the center situation and Mike Brown's preferred style.

Evan lays out every major report from the last 48 hours and asks the big question Knicks fans cannot avoid anymore: is a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade actually happening? From Milwaukee's growing acceptance that a split may be coming, to Rich Paul circling, Portland lurking in a multi team deal, and the Knicks quietly testing the Karl Anthony Towns market, the smoke is everywhere. The guys debate whether the Knicks should pull the trigger before the deadline, what it would cost, how it impacts chemistry and health, and whether this move raises the ceiling or slams the championship window shut.

The Knicks are in the mix for an MVP once again, Carlos Mendoza acknowledges a truth, and coaching rumors swirl the NFL

Evan unloads a rapid-fire stack of reports that all point to one wild possibility: the Knicks making a real run at Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA trade deadline. They dig into the smoke around Giannis potentially leaving Milwaukee, Rich Paul circling, Portland lurking as a multi-team power broker, and the Knicks quietly testing the market on Karl-Anthony Towns. Then the debate gets real: does a Giannis blockbuster raise the ceiling or shrink the window? What does it cost (Bridges, KAT, McBride, swaps), and can the Knicks actually win with chemistry and health risks midseason? Plus, the guys react to fan calls, the idea that Giannis' personality might play very differently in New York, and a head-scratching Mike Brown moment where he admits he doesn't even know the upcoming schedule. To close out Hour 1, the conversation swings to Super Bowl talk: Seahawks vs Patriots, why Seattle feels like the better team, and whether New England can keep pulling off wins even if the score doesn't always look pretty.

Hour 3 starts with the Mets, as Carlos Mendoza's comments on a “corporate” clubhouse reignite the chemistry conversation. The guys break down what Mendoza really admitted, why Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor's personalities matter when things go bad, and whether leadership has to come from someone other than the highest-paid star. They also hit the idea that locker rooms are messy everywhere, even for “great leaders,” and why David Stearns is about as untouchable as it gets in New York sports. Then it pivots back to the NBA with Ian Begley joining to sort through the Giannis noise, Jrue Holiday rumors, Karl-Anthony Towns tension, and what the Knicks can realistically do with the trade deadline a week away. Begley gives a sober read on whether this roster is truly championship built, what happens if the team sputters before the deadline, and why any Jrue move is likely tied directly to the Giannis chessboard. The hour closes with quick hits: Buffalo's Joe Brady hiring reshapes the coaching carousel and Brian Daboll's options, plus a rapid-fire look at what's next on the sports calendar as deadlines and Super Bowl week collide.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses why he has a problem with folks who heap praise on Sam Darnold for making the Super Bowl being the same ones who go out of their way to bash reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts, his expectations for Darnold in next week's Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, why it's clear that Shedeur Sanders getting selected for the Pro Bowl has everything to do with his popularity and nothing to do with his on-field play, and how the Oklahoma City Thunder could throw a monkey wrench in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade market. #FSR Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.

On this episode of Combo's Court, Combo and Pierre (Numbers On The Board) dive into one of the biggest questions surrounding the Warriors: will Steph Curry finish his career with the Golden State Warriors? The conversation breaks down Steph's legacy, Golden State's responsibility to maximize his remaining prime, and whether playing “meaningful basketball” matters more than chasing one more ring. From there, the discussion expands into a deeper NBA debate — do positions still matter, or has the league misunderstood what “positionless basketball” really means? Combo and Pierre unpack how stars like Trae Young, Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball, Zion Williamson, Anthony Edwards, and Giannis are valued in today's trade market, why role players may be getting overrated, and how salary caps, health, and playoff success shape real team-building decisions. The episode also touches on the Knicks' outlook, All-Star snubs, legacy narratives, and more! The show wraps with a hip-hop crossover debate on 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and classic album legacy.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Tuesday Jan 27th. Tuesday's Cash That Ticket podcast focused heavily on the NBA betting board while continuing an early buildup toward Super Bowl prop markets. Coming off a winning best bet on the Lakers Bulls over, the discussion opened with a detailed recap of recent results and quickly shifted to current league news that could impact pricing and market movement. The most significant update involved Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is expected to miss four to six weeks with a calf sprain suffered before halftime of his most recent appearance. The injury was framed as another setback for a Milwaukee team already derailed by Damian Lillard's Achilles injury last season, with the belief that any Giannis trade discussions are more likely to materialize in the offseason rather than at the deadline, when value would be harder to maximize. Attention then turned to Drew Holiday, with reporting that the Knicks are exploring trade avenues. His two way impact, playoff experience, and ability to stabilize an offense were cited as reasons he could elevate a contender, particularly New York, by easing the nightly burden on Jalen Brunson while anchoring perimeter defense. The episode also reviewed Monday's slate, including Atlanta's home win over Indiana, Charlotte's lopsided victory against Philadelphia, Cleveland's defensive minded win over Orlando, Minnesota's dominant performance against a Steph Curry less Golden State, and Houston's win over Memphis behind Alperen Sengun. Kevin Durant's January production for Houston drew special praise, noting his heavy minutes, consistent scoring, and efficiency across shooting splits, reinforcing his importance to the Rockets' playoff push. Updated standings showed Detroit leading the East with a sizable cushion, while Oklahoma City maintained control of the West. From a betting perspective, Knicks Kings was highlighted as a strong spot for New York's offense, particularly the team total, given Sacramento's poor defensive metrics. Pistons Nuggets was analyzed through an injury lens, with Denver missing multiple starters including Nikola Jokic, leading to an under recommendation based on pace, rest, and Detroit's elite recent defense. Clippers Jazz hinged on Kawhi Leonard's status, with James Harden positioned for increased usage if Leonard sits against a depleted Utah defense. The Super Bowl segment introduced an early prop angle on Patriots quarterback Drake May, targeting his rushing yards over, based on prior playoff usage and similar quarterback production against Seattle's defense. The show closed with a featured NBA prop on Jalen Brunson points and assists, banking on a healthy return and a favorable matchup against the Kings. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour 2 dives into the Dolphins' quarterback future and whether Miami can find its own version of Sam Darnold after the failed Zach Wilson experiment. Joe reacts to the Bills' chaotic offseason following another playoff exit and questions why some teams still don't have head coaches with the Senior Bowl already underway. The conversation shifts to the Chiefs' uncertain future with Travis Kelce possibly retiring and Rashee Rice's ongoing legal issues. Joe also debates potential Heat moves at the trade deadline, including whether Giannis or Ja Morant make sense in Miami, and pushes back on the idea that players can't handle the city's distractions. Plus, Hollywood's Headlines features Coco Gauff's racket smash, LeBron's $1 million card, and Paul Pierce's paternity lawsuit.

Joe breaks down the latest in Miami sports, from the Dolphins' quarterback situation, roster moves, and key contracts—including Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb, and Minkah Fitzpatrick—to high praise for new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan. He reacts to Dabo Swinney's take on tampering and the chaos of the college football transfer portal, while exploring the Darian Mensah legal settlement that clears the way for him to transfer to Miami. Joe also debates the Heat's trade deadline options with Tyler Herro, Giannis, and other big names, previews the Panthers ahead of the Winter Olympics, and weighs in on weather and home-field advantages in football. Plus, Hollywood's Headlines brings a mix of sports and pop culture, from Coco Gauff's racket smash to LeBron's $1 million card and Paul Pierce's paternity lawsuit

Joe explains why Miami isn't looking to develop a young quarterback and instead has its eyes on Duke QB Darian Mensah, noting that contracts don't mean much in today's college landscape. The conversation shifts to the Panthers trying to build momentum before the Winter Olympics and how intense the international hockey tournament is expected to be. With the NBA trade deadline approaching, Joe debates what the Heat should do with Tyler Herro, who has only played 11 games this season, and explores potential trade targets like Ja Morant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Anthony Davis. He also raises concerns about durability, saying availability is everything in the NBA and questioning how Miami views Herro's future.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo is blessed and highly favored. Him and his Milwaukee Bucks teammates are staying the course, and pushing through. Antetokounmpo offers his perspective on Giannis Antetokounmpo's efforts against the Denver Nuggets, despite a calf injury.

The 2026 NBA All-Star Game at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA (Feb. 15) features a new USA vs. World format, showcasing 24 top players divided into three 8-man teams (two U.S. squads, one International) in a round-robin, 12-minute game tournament. Luka Dončić and Giannis Antetokounmpo headline the World team starters, with Pistons' J.B. Bickerstaff serving as a coach. The Warriors face a severely compromised 2026 championship outlook following Jimmy Butler's season-ending ACL injury, as he was their second-leading scorer (2020 PPG) and primary defensive anchor. While they might remain in the playoff mix, their elite contender status is largely gone, forcing reliance on depth and potential roster moves to support Stephen Curry. The Dallas Mavericks' 2026 rebuild revolves around emerging cornerstone Cooper Flagg, who has shown rapid development. Following the departure of Luka Dončić, the team is pivoting toward a youth movement, aiming to develop talent like Max Christie, Ron Holland, and Dereck Lively II. As of late January 2026, Giannis Antetokounmpo remains publicly committed to the Milwaukee Bucks, stating his desire to remain with the franchise for his entire career despite intense, record-low season struggles. While not requesting a trade, mounting frustration over team performance and a below-.500 record has led to speculation about a potential future, or "divorce," according to league sourcesBusiness Inquires DaDojoProduction@gmail.com Insta https://www.instagram.com/senseink/ Pod Insta: https://www.instagram.com/dadojocast/ Sports Page @IKINDAKNOWBALL
