This week on The Baseline NBA Podcast, we break down the highs and lows shaping the NBA right now — from major injuries impacting contenders to historic performances that continue to redefine greatness.First , as injuries take center stage around the league. Jalen Suggs suffers a Grade 1 MCL contusion and is out indefinitely, while Jonas Valančiūnas is sidelined with a right calf strain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Combined with Nikola Jokić's knee injury, the Nuggets' frontcourt takes a major hit, raising real questions about depth, durability, and timing as the season unfolds. Highs:- The 2025 NBA Christmas Day games delivered 15-year viewership highs, with over 47 million U.S. viewers, reinforcing the NBA's cultural relevance and dominance in marquee moments. - Russell Westbrook moves into 7th all-time in assists, passing Magic Johnson — a milestone that adds another chapter to his Hall of Fame résumé. We also celebrate basketball greatness at the highest level. - Giannis Antetokounmpo continues his historic run, recording his 158th career 30/10/5 game, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for second all-time and closing in on Oscar Robertson.- LeBron James adds yet another legendary moment, posting 31 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists, becoming the oldest player ever to score 30+ and surpassing Kareem's mark for the most points by a 41-year-old. LeBron and Kareem now stand alone as the only players to score 25+ at age 41 — doing it at the exact same age, 41 years and 3 days.Lows:- We discuss Draymond Green's ejection following a controversial non–three-second call and what it says about composure, officiating, and reputation- Plus, Jaylen Brown's frustration after missing out on Eastern Conference Player of the Month sparks a deeper conversation on player recognition, narrative vs. metrics, and how awards are truly evaluated. Then we shift to the highs, where the league continues to shine on the biggest stages.- From injuries and controversy to records, ratings, and royalty, this episode captures the full spectrum of the NBA — where the highs are historic and the lows are unavoidable.

The NBA keeps talking about “two-way players” like it's a bonus skill instead of the bare minimum. That framing is broken - and this episode dismantles it. Jaylen Brown calls himself the best two-way player in the league. When you actually examine defense, availability, leadership, and impact, the claim holds up - and exposes why the MVP conversation is flawed. While other stars conserve energy, avoid defensive matchups, or miss games, Brown guards the best player, carries a short-handed Celtics roster, and still produces elite offense. This episode breaks down why defense and rebounding are inseparable, why availability is the real separator in awards races, and why the 65-game rule exists for a reason. Jokic's injury, Embiid's return, the Sixers' ceiling, Bucks trade realities, Westbrook's historical achievements, and the current Eastern and Western Conference playoff landscapes all get addressed through one lens: value is not reputation - it's impact. No sentimentality. No narrative protection. Just how winning actually works.
Chris Forsberg and Tom Giles break down the Celtics' 146-115 win over the Clippers, discussing Jaylen Brown's unreal 50-point performance, growing MVP talk and contributions from the rest of the team.
