Decimoctavo programa dedicado a la temporada 1985-86 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de la fase regular de todos los equipos. En este analizamos a los Seattle SuperSonics; tanto las expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, el ataque y la defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, y algunas curiosidades. El rookie Xavier McDaniel se unió a Jack Sikma y Tom Chambers para liderar a un equipo que no fue capaz de clasificarse para los playoffs. El nuevo entrenador, Bernie Bickerstaff, no fue capaz de hacer ganar al equipo más encuentros que en la campaña precedente. El resto de los jugadores importantes no estuvieron finos: Gerald Henderson, Danny Young, Tim McCormick, Al Wood y otros. Hablamos sobre todo lo anterior y mucho más. ------ Contacto y redes: - iVoox (Era baloncesto): https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-era-baloncesto_sq_f1687000_1.html - XLS con todos los audios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9YiJkMkIMwONwX1onZZTBHBffYVtnlgT2oBebypG0A - Twitter: @erabaloncesto - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@erabaloncesto - Blog: https://erabaloncesto.home.blog - erabaloncesto@gmail.com ------ Sintonía: - Cornflowers (Dee Yan-Key): freemusicarchive.org/music/Dee_Yan-Key/Vacation_Days/01-Dee_Yan-Key-Cornflowers ------ Creado y presentado por José Manuel Gómez y Manuel Álvarez López.

Bucks beat reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe discuss the return of Jrue Holiday, the continued inspired play of Giannis Antetokounmpo, a fun win over the Clippers, a tough loss to the Nuggets and the recent play of Brook Lopez.

What if there's a better format altogether? Somehow the podcast conversation then steers toward avocados.
During this college basketball season, the player who has arguably been more dominant than anyone else is the nation’s leading scorer, Iowa big man Luka Garza. Today, we’re joined by The Athletic’s Brian Hamilton to look at how Garza developed his game by studying old VHS tapes in his basement — from Hakeem Olajuwon to Jack Sikma to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — and why despite his gaudy numbers, there are still many who don’t believe in his NBA future.Read Brian Hamilton’s story about Luka Garza: https://theathletic.com/2266313/2020/12/18/luka-garza-iowa-hawkeyes-nba-kareem-abdul-jabbar-hakeem-olajuwon-kevin-mchale-jack-sikma/?source=theleadpodcast

High school star, Kansas University standout and 12-year NBA veteran, Paul Mokeski. Milwaukee Bucks’ cult hero, Paul Mokeski, discusses his life in basketball. As a youngster – whilst not always comfortable in his surroundings – Paul found his calling in basketball. A burgeoning star at Encino’s Crespi Carmelite High School, he was recruited by countless colleges – some went to extremes to land his signature. However, Paul’s family (his father played college basketball) offered strong guidance and he ultimately decided to attend Kansas University. There, he challenged himself and began to thrive; on-and-off the court. He made new friends and would also meet his future wife. Mokeski was selected by the Houston Rockets in the 1979 NBA Draft. As a rookie, he was a back-up to MVP-era Moses Malone. Paul discusses the impact that Moses had on his career and shares some fantastic stories about Malone along the way. In October, 1980, the Rockets traded Paul to Detroit. Whilst the Pistons struggled, Paul enjoyed a good season, averaging better than seven points and five rebounds in only 23 minutes per game. After 119 games with the Pistons – and just 15 minutes before the (1982) trade deadline – Detroit moved Mokeski to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Paul tells the unique story of how the trade unfolded. The 1982 Cleveland Cavaliers were in disarray. In one season, the team cycled through four coaches and finished with a 15-67 record. The Cavaliers – a disastrous 3-21 at the time – waived Mokeski in December of 1982. On Christmas Eve, Paul signed the first of two 10-day contracts with the Milwaukee Bucks. In mid-January of 1983, he signed a contract for the rest of the season. At the time, Milwaukee were back-to-back Central Division champions and would go on to win the division an incredible six-straight years. Paul was a key member of the Bucks and played six-full seasons with arguably the best team to not make an NBA Finals during the 1980s. In September of 1989, Paul signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Though his second tenure in Ohio was short-lived – he was released after the 1990 season – Paul was part of a team on the rise; one that would soon challenge for the Eastern Conference title. Prior to the 1991 season, Paul took part in the San Antonio Spurs’ training camp, before missing out on a roster spot. In mid-January of 1991, Mokeski was proactive and reached out to his former coach, Don Nelson, who was leading the Golden State Warriors. Paul shares the unique story of how he would earn a place on the roster for the rest of that year. This happened to be the second – and last – season of the iconic trio, Run TMC: Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin. Following the 1991 season, Paul and his family briefly ventured overseas, before he returned to the USA and took the role of player / coach with the Quad City Thunder of the Continental Basketball Association. What followed – and has continued for more than 25 years – is a coaching and scouting career that is as varied as it is interesting. This is one of my favourite conversations yet. A big thanks to great friend of the show, Jim McIlvaine, who mentioned my podcast to Paul and helped us connect. Links discussed (include): * Paul’s Bucks versus (rookie) Michael Jordan's Bulls * Paul Mokeski – career highlights * Paul Mokeski – a nifty performance versus the Bulls (1989) People mentioned in this episode, include: Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Jack Sikma, Marques Johnson, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Bill Laimbeer & Reggie Theus.

There's been some word that expansion might be coming to the college football playoff even before the current contract ends in 2024, and it just makes sense. It's only going to increase interest in the playoff race, just as adding another wild card helped baseball. The simplest solution is bring in all five Power 5 winners, plus three wild cards. Jaylen Nowell is staying in the NBA Draft, and we can't really figure out why. Absolutely no one has been talking about him. Maybe a team has promised to draft him in the first round. If we don't see him work out anywhere over the next month, we'll know. OTA's continue at the VMAC. Today Softy saw what could be described as the best and worst of DK Metcalf, but it's really hard to know exactly what we're looking at until real practices begin. Jack Sikma joins the show to remember the 1979 Sonics Championship.

Episódio 157 • Gravado em 18 de fevereiro de 2019 Q1 (00:40). Após quase nove anos comandando os destinos do New Orleans Pelicans, o general manager Dell Demps foi demitido. Sob a sua gerência, a franquia de Louisiana só chegou três vezes à pós-temporada e avançou para as semifinais da Conferência Oeste apenas uma vez.

Q1. Depois de estar perdendo por dois a zero, o Milwaukee Bucks fez valer seu mando de quadra nos Jogos 3 e 4 e empatou a série contra o Boston Celtics com participações importantes de Thon Maker. Q2. Muitos fatores contribuíram para que o New Orleans Pelicans aplicasse a primeira varrida da sua história em playoffs, mas nesse segundo período eu quero pinçar um deles: Jrue Holiday. INTERVALO No quadro “Máquina do Tempo” vamos retornar até o dia 24 de abril de 1988, quando se encerrou a fase regular e o pivô Jack Sikma, do Milwaukee Bucks, se consolidou como líder da NBA em aproveitamento nos lances livres. Q3. John Wall fez algo nas quatro primeiras partidas dos Playoffs 2018 que nenhum jogador da NBA havia feito até hoje e isso é uma péssima notícia para o Toronto Raptors. Q4. O folclórico Lance Stephenson anda atrapalhando mais o próprio Indiana Pacers do que o adversário com as suas presepadas dentro de quadra. (Episódio 73)
We take a look at multiple-time NBA All-Stars who were big deals in their day but have been somewhat forgotten or overlooked with the passage of time in the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast. Co-hosts Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch first discuss some of elite superstars of their day: Larry Foust, an 8-time all-star who led the Fort Wayne Pistons to back-to-back NBA Finals in 1955 and 1956 and has the highest Basketball Reference probability score for someone who is not in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame; Alonzo Mourning, who was among top best centers in the NBA for the Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat before a kidney ailment limited him in the second half of his career; Harry "The Horse" Gallatin, an iron man and rebounding savant for the New York Knicks that went to three straight NBA Finals from 1951-53; Amar'e Stoudemire, an elite offensive force who helped make the 2000s "Seven Seconds or Less" Phoenix Suns go before injuries caught up to him with the Knicks; and Neil Johnston, a top big man of the 1950s who consistently was near the top of the league in points, rebounds and PER and led the Philadelphia Warriors to the 1956 championship. We also look at some overlooked 1980s favorites like the Denver Nuggets scoring machine Alex English, Seattle Supersonics big man Jack Sikma (another major Hall of Fame oversight), sweet shooting Phoenix Suns star Walter Davis, and the versatile Milwaukee Bucks swingman Marques Johnson. Plus some 1990s and 2000s stars: how Tim Hardaway succeeded in vastly different teams with the Run TMC Golden State Warriors and the grind-it-out Heat, how Shawn Kemp was much more than a dunker for the Sonics, and how Jermaine O'Neal's six-year peak stands with some of the best in NBA history. We also investigate the careers of multi-time 1950s and 1960s NBA All-Stars Don Ohl, Dick Garmaker and Mel Hutchins. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
