The NBA media has already crowned the Philadelphia 76ers after adding LeBron James and Jaylen Brown. Ric Bucher isn't buying it.In this episode of On The Ball, Ric explains why championship teams aren't assembled overnight—and why history says Philadelphia still has major questions to answer despite boasting LeBron, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. He breaks down the importance of role players, salary-cap flexibility, chemistry, and why recent champions like Oklahoma City, Boston and New York all needed years—not months—to become title winners.Ric also revisits Paul George's underrated playoff impact, explains why LeBron has never delivered a championship in his first season with a new team, gives his favorite NBA futures bets—including Coach of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Most Improved Player—and discusses why legalized sports gambling is inching toward a dangerous place for the league.TIMESTAMPS0:00 – The annual NBA offseason overreaction cycle begins 1:20 – Why the Sixers are being crowned far too soon 2:55 – What recent NBA champions teach about building winners 4:20 – Why Philadelphia isn't comparable to OKC, Boston or New York 5:10 – Is Tyrese Maxey ready to lead a championship team? 6:10 – What Jaylen Brown still has to prove outside Boston 7:05 – Why LeBron doesn't solve Philadelphia's biggest problems 8:20 – The hidden value of elite championship role players 9:00 – Separating Jaylen Brown's reputation from basketball reality 11:05 – Why Paul George deserves more credit for Philly's playoff run 12:35 – The salary-cap challenge facing the Sixers 13:55 – Why history says LeBron won't win immediately in Philadelphia 14:45 – Coach of the Year betting odds: favorite vs. value 16:05 – Why the Sixers still lack championship depth 17:45 – Ric's concerns about gambling's growing influence on the NBA 18:45 – Coach of the Year sleeper pick 20:20 – Rookie of the Year predictions and betting value 22:05 – Most Improved Player long-shot pick 23:50 – Final thoughts#NBA #Philadelphia76ers #LeBronJames #JaylenBrown #JoelEmbiid #TyreseMaxey #OnTheBall #RicBucher #NBAPodcast #NBAAnalysis #BasketballSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Former Coach Jim Larrañaga analyzes LeBron James' decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers and whether Joel Embiid is prepared to sacrifice his offensive output for championship success. They debate LeBron's place in the GOAT conversation compared to Michael Jordan while examining the defensive deficiencies of the Sixers' roster. The conversation also explores the Miami Heat's need for three-point shooting and LeBron's unprecedented longevity in the NBA.

Anthony Lima and Nick Padone dig into Lima's stance that he'll boo LeBron James upon his return to Cleveland with the 76ers, arguing this free agency snub feels different than 2010 because Cavs fans felt genuinely led on. They point to Draymond Green's one-year deal with Golden State and reports that LeBron's camp was stringing along multiple teams, including Cleveland, while Philadelphia's owner personally recruited Joel Embiid to ease LeBron's health concerns. Padone shares his own conflicted history as a lifelong LeBron fan, recalling his dad refusing to take him to a Cavs-Heat game as a kid, but ultimately says he understands the frustration this time even if he won't boo himself.

Tobin and Leroy play a round of "Rats Off a Ship," reacting to Bam Adebayo's blunt text message to Joel Embiid regarding his commitment to Philadelphia.

The King James Version

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er and Joe Giglio wonders how the King's signing will affect what Joel Embiid brings to the franchise in 2026 and beyond.

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, the Warriors still need to upgrade their roster, and the Dodgers are one week away from deciding whether Tarik Skubal is worth the farm. This week Big Ben and K Winn break down the LeBron to Philly move, the Golden State trade that actually makes sense, and the biggest names on the MLB deadline board. We start with the five grill masters problem in Philly. LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe in one starting five, and nobody in that locker room volunteering to defer. K Winn lays out why Cleveland was the plan until Jaylen Brown got traded. Big Ben makes the case that this is a media market play, five titles in four cities. Then we tell Mike Dunleavy exactly what to do: trade for Trey Murphy III, pair him with Yaxel Lendeborg, and stop chasing veterans on the back nine. We hit Skubal, Mason Miller and the 46-46 Padres, whether Dante Moore and Oregon can win a College Football Natty, and Arizona State launches a new influencer degree.

LeBron James' stunning move to Philadelphia has created a potential superteam, but Evan Roberts is already predicting it will fail. Evan questions whether LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe can build enough chemistry before age, injuries and competing roles tear the Sixers apart. Tiki Barber believes the Knicks will eliminate Philadelphia in the second round, while Shaun Morash picks the Sixers to knock out New York.

LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia, but Evan Roberts is already predicting the Sixers' new superteam will collapse. Evan questions whether LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe can develop the chemistry and continuity needed to win, while Tiki Barber believes the Knicks will eliminate Philadelphia in the second round. Shaun Morash goes the other way, picking the Sixers to knock out the defending champions before falling short of the NBA Finals. The stunning move also reignites the debate over whether Knicks-Sixers is truly a rivalry and whether LeBron originally wanted New York before the Knicks shut the door. Plus, Jalen Brunson's status as the king of New York, a hilariously awkward caller complimenting Tiki, and a heated Hall of Fame debate featuring Don Mattingly, Keith Hernandez, Alex Rodriguez and Thurman Munson.

Lima runs through a rapid-fire myth-busting list aimed at LeBron and Cavs narratives circulating over the weekend, shooting down claims that the Darius Garland trade or the James Harden pairing pushed LeBron away, and arguing the numbers actually favor the Cavs' roster moves. He pushes back hard on the idea Philadelphia's starting five is unbeatable given Joel Embiid's health, and dismisses the notion the Cavs "stink" by citing national analysts who still view them as conference finals contenders. Daryl Ruiter remains skeptical throughout, particularly on Donovan Mitchell's status compared to Tyrese Maxey, while the two debate whether a LeBron championship in Philadelphia would actually boost his GOAT case.

The Cardinals and Cubs renew one of baseball's greatest rivalries as they open a four-game series with plenty on the line. The Cardinals are looking to gain ground in the National League playoff race, while the Cubs hope to protect their position atop the division. We preview the pitching matchups, key hitters to watch, trade deadline storylines, and what this series could mean as both clubs approach the stretch run. The NBA conversation shifts to Philadelphia following the blockbuster acquisition of LeBron James. With LeBron joining an already talented roster, we debate whether the 76ers still need Joel Embiid to be legitimate championship contenders. Is the franchise better served building around LeBron and its younger core, or does Embiid remain the centerpiece despite his injury history? We examine how the Sixers could look entering the 2026-27 season. The hour also continues our discussion on Illinois Athletics' historic new partnership with Busey Bank. We dive deeper into the financial impact of the reported $30 million agreement, what the jersey patch sponsorship means for Illinois' national brand, and how the additional revenue can help the Fighting Illini remain competitive in the ever-changing landscape of college athletics through recruiting, facilities, and revenue sharing.

LeBron James is officially a Philadelphia 76er, and we're breaking down one of the biggest moves in recent NBA history.

On the timeline, we get into the viral Crumbl Cookies controversy after employees were filmed doing hair inside a Charlotte-area kitchen, and we unpack the online conversation surrounding Mad Miles Run Club as social media debates whether today's run clubs are becoming more about dating and hookups than running. We also react to Mandii B's controversial comments about marriage and whether some women treat getting married as the accomplishment instead of choosing the right partner. To close things out, we discuss the latest developments in the death of Nolan Wells, including the inconclusive independent autopsy, the family's unanswered questions and the announcement that the case will be presented to a Mississippi grand jury. All that and more on this week's episode. for more,

LeBron James has officially signed with the Philadelphia 76ers on a minimum deal, joining Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey to create the most hateable roster in the Eastern Conference. But should Celtics fans actually be worried? Spoony and Jake break down why Philly's top-heavy, high-usage build might look scary on paper but comes with massive fit, depth, and health question marks. Plus, we dive into Brad Stevens' long-term vision of "possession maxing," the Jordan Walsh extension steals, Mitchell Robinson's impact, and Jayson Tatum's pointed comments on leadership.

Dan and Jeff dissect LeBron's decision to sign with the 76ers, arguing it lines up with what they predicted days earlier since Philadelphia gave him the clearest path to another championship. They break down how a crowded roster of alpha scorers, LeBron, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brown, and VJ Edgecombe, will force difficult shot-distribution questions all season, with both hosts betting LeBron slides into a Magic Johnson-style point forward role. They also speculate that Embiid will need to accept a reduced offensive role and heavy load management to stay healthy for a playoff push, while praising Nick Nurse's coaching and the addition of former Cav Dean Wade.

Jeff and Dan break down the Cavs' addition of Mario Hezonja, agreeing it's a solid but modest signing given his six-year absence from the NBA, and stress the team shouldn't lean on him as any kind of LeBron replacement. They still push for Jonathan Kuminga as the missing piece, though Phelps worries about overloading him offensively, and float alternatives like Jeremy Sochan or a trade for Trey Murphy to fix the roster's shooting problem on the wing. A caller named BP argues LeBron made a mistake picking Philadelphia given Joel Embiid's injury history, sparking pushback from the hosts who insist Embiid just needs to be healthy by the playoffs to make the Sixers a real threat.

Rob and Jeremy discuss if they think the LeBron James addition to the 76ers is a fit.

Hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop return with another jam-packed episode of Little Column A, Little Column B, covering one of the busiest weeks in sports and beyond. The show opens with an unbelievable real-life rescue after a sign-maintenance worker becomes stranded 130 feet in the air when a scissor lift fails. The hosts break down how emergency crews responded, why the rescue took hours, and the surprising role a replacement lift played in getting the worker safely back to the ground. From there, the conversation shifts to the NBA's biggest headline: LeBron James reportedly joining the Philadelphia 76ers on a veteran-minimum contract. Will and Zach debate whether the move makes Philadelphia the favorite in the Eastern Conference or creates more questions than answers. They discuss roster fit, championship expectations, injury concerns, Joel Embiid's future, and how the Knicks, Celtics, Pistons, and other contenders stack up in a loaded East. The NBA discussion continues with trade speculation, stalled deals, front-office uncertainty, the league's new lottery rules, and which teams could emerge as surprise contenders. They also examine how League Pass and the balance of power across both conferences could be affected heading into the new season. The episode then turns to college football as the hosts discuss the ongoing UNC investigation involving Michael Lombardi and NIL questions, along with Pablo Torre's reporting and what it could mean moving forward. To wrap things up, Will and Zach preview their upcoming NFL coverage beginning August 10, discuss fantasy football burnout, laugh about Mike Vrabel's viral puppy-filled press conference, and react to the NBA's decision to move the Knicks-Celtics season opener away from Madison Square Garden.

Bomani Jones is joined by Howard Bryant for a loaded episode of The Right Time, starting with why the Boston Celtics failed the Jaylen Brown-Jayson Tatum era. Bo and Howard break down how Boston treated Brown like the expendable star, why the organization clearly picked Tatum as the face of the franchise, and what Tatum now has to prove coming off an Achilles injury. They also get into Brown's move to Philadelphia, whether the basketball fit makes any sense next to Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, and why the whole breakup felt colder than it needed to be. Later, Bo and Howard dive into the Caitlin Clark discourse and explain why the conversation around her has somehow gotten even louder, dumber, and more political since she got to the WNBA. They talk about Clark becoming a culture-war avatar, why the league's player-driven culture was always going to push back, whether her actual game is getting overrated by the noise around her, and why the Larry Bird comparisons don't really hold up. .
