Nikola Jokic goes down with a knee injury — and suddenly the volume spikes to kill the NBA's 65-game minimum for MVP and All-NBA eligibility. Coincidence? Or the latest example of the league (and its loudest voices) trying to rewrite the definition of greatness in real time?In the first On The Ball episode of 2026, Ric Bucher explains why the 65-game rule shouldn't be rescinded just because a superstar might miss out. Awards aren't about who we think should win based on peak moments, reputation, or “what he'd do if healthy.” They're about who actually delivered over a full season — and availability has always been part of the job.Ric revisits why the rule was created (hello, load management), why voters needed a clear benchmark, and why removing it would encourage exactly what fans hate: rewarding partial seasons while pretending it's the same as dominance over 82 games. He also calls out the shifting standards in NBA media, the growing subjectivity of awards voting, and the obsession with making everything “perfect” — even when perfection creates new injustices.Plus: Ric makes the case that we should be expanding eligibility rules, creating one to deem who is eligible to be an All-Star.Timestamps 00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” / welcome to On The Ball 00:31 — Ric's platforms + book tease: the value of being coachable 01:32 — First pod of 2026: thank you + what's changing the show today 02:03 — The new flashpoint: NBA's 65-game rule + Jokic injury fallout 02:55 — Jokic vs SGA: how the MVP race shifts 03:16 — Why Ric disagrees with eliminating the rule 04:12 — Why the NBA instituted 65 games: load management + voter clarity 05:07 — The voting problem: who has ballots now (and why it matters) 06:35 — Why 65 games is “etched in stone” 07:23 — The old standard: playing 82 used to be the flex 08:03 — “Perfect” officiating vs reality: the replay obsession analogy 09:20 — The hard truth: injustice happens — that's sports (and life) 10:08 — Injuries, modern training, and why the real issue isn't awards 11:07 — Why changing awards rules dodges the real problem 12:32 — Supermax + health: should durability matter? 14:02 — Awards aren't for “who we think”: they're for who proved it 14:40 — The Bill Walton precedent: MVP with 58 games (and the controversy) 16:45 — The fear: rewarding stars for half-seasons 17:26 — Standards eroding: media, mentorship, and the “old head” dilemma 20:28 — Social media pedestal culture + rule changes for entertainment 21:25 — Why removing 65 games diminishes awards 22:12 — Ric's counter: eligibility rules for All-Star voting instead 22:52 — LeBron + All-Star weekend: honor him, don't gift him a spot 25:05 — Emotional policy-making is bad policy 25:47 — What's next: boosting competition, addressing tanking 26:54 — Outro#NBA #NikolaJokic #MVP #AllNBA #LoadManagement #NBAMedia #OnTheBall #RicBucher #BasketballPodcast #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

0:00 - Alright folks, let's be honest. What are REASONABLE expectations for the Nuggets without Jokic? Remember, he'll be out for at least 4 weeks, and the Nuggets are missing 3 other starters. So REALISTICALLY what should we expect to see while Jokic is out?20:45 - What are your expectations for the Broncos in the playoffs? Do they need to make the AFC Championship game? The Super Bowl?

0:00 - One final Avs game in 2025! How's Jared Bednar feeling about his squad? On Monday in his postgame interview, he said he was concerned about the Power Play. Why?

He's determined to reach his goal, even if his body isn't built for the task. 34:29 - RIP MTV 3 even though it hasn't had any M for like 20 years at this point. We'll miss seeing 24 straight hours of Ridiculousness.

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley open the fourth hour coming to terms with the Jokic injury timelines, albeit with some optimism about the shorter timeline. Mike vents about ESPN’s (lack of) coverage on Jokic’s injury. They worry about the long term prospects of the Nikola Jokic injury if the worst-case scenario comes to pass.

They confront Sean Payton for speaking out both sides of his mouth about the pass rush. Mike and Stoke are joined by our 9News Broncos Insider, Mike Klis, to get his take on the defensive deficiencies and how he thinks the Broncos will come out against the Chargers.  

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil are joined by veteran NFL reporter James Palmer to discuss the Chargers sitting and resting a handful of players in their week 18 matchup with the Broncos, if we will see the Broncos win with style points on Sunday, and how much tougher road the Broncos will have next year with a first place schedule. We look back at many of the quarterbacks the Broncos have faced this season and debate if the lesser talent they've faced is reason for concern when it comes to the playoffs? We react to the injury update on Nikola Jokic and his knee being re-evaluated in four weeks. Zach explains why "sky is not falling" and how he doesn't have high expectations for January but they will still be in the playoff picture. How will the Nuggets re-learn how to play basketball without the three-time MVP? What should the Nuggets record be during Jokic's absence? 

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Richie. The guys discuss their reactions in real time to Nikola Jokic going down and grabbing at his knee during last night's Nuggets and Heat game. The guys compare it to their knee injuries in the past and how a torn ACL can feel. Zach and Phil dive into Jokic's injury further and how we have taken Jokic's health for granted throughout his career. How will the Nuggets re-learn how to play basketball without the three-time MVP? What will the Nuggets record be during the next month when Jokic is supposed to be sidelined? Will they be able to weather the storm and stay in the upper half of the western conference? We look back at many of the quarterbacks the Broncos have faced this season and debate if the lesser talent they've faced is reason for concern when it comes to the playoffs? 

Scary injury for the Denver big man plus more trade drama in Atlanta. The NBA BIT is back.

In the 3rd hour, Dover and Richie gave their thoughts on Nikola Jokic's knee injury. What can the Nuggets' record be without Jokic moving forward? Is the MVP conversation done for Jokic? The guys reacted to the Avs beating the Kings last night. The fellas then took a look around the rest of the NFL. 

Dover and Richie opened the show reacting to the news of Nikola Jokic's knee injury. How are the Nuggets going to find ways to win without Jokic? The fellas gave their NFL Danger Rankings as we head into the final week of the regular season. Do style points matter for the Broncos against the Chargers this weekend? 

Arguably the worst injury day of the season happened on a sad, sad Monday, as we lost Jokic, Giddey, Coby White, plus smaller dings to relevant players. Who steps up?
