Combo and YouTuber/NBA Historian Mike Korzemba deep dive into some of the biggest debates in hoops. They start with the ultimate question: how would Michael Jordan look in today's NBA? Would the spacing, pace, and freedom of the modern game unlock an even more unstoppable version of MJ? From there, Combo and Mike get into all-time rankings, including the case for Larry Bird as the third-greatest player ever behind Jordan and LeBron, and where legends like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson belong in the GOAT conversation. They also talk about why Kobe Bryant's legacy is still one of the most polarizing in basketball, how analytics have changed the way fans judge greatness, and why winning still matters more than any stat sheet. Plus, Mike shares his pick for the biggest “what if” in NBA history — the career that might have been if Derrick Rose never suffered those devastating injuries.

The March 8, 1976, issue of Sports Illustrated featured Buffalo Braves star Bob McAdoo on the cover, captured in a striking close-up portrait by photographer Neil Leifer, holding the ball at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium under the headline "Hottest Shot in the Game: Buffalo's Bob McAdoo." Just one year removed from winning the 1975 NBA MVP award—his second straight scoring title at 34.1 PPG in 1974-75—McAdoo was still dominating as one of the league's premier scorers and rebounders, leading the Braves in a strong season and representing the peak of his individual brilliance in Buffalo. However, his tenure with the Braves ended abruptly that December when contract disputes and the team's unwillingness to meet his salary demands prompted a trade to the New York Knicks for center John Gianelli and cash. Injuries, including a persistent back issue and later more severe setbacks, began to erode his consistency despite continued high scoring. McAdoo then became a journeyman: traded to the Boston Celtics in 1979 (one season), then to the Detroit Pistons (waived in 1981 due to injuries), a brief stint with the New Jersey Nets, before landing with the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Eve 1981 in a low-key trade for a second-round pick and cash to bolster depth after Mitch Kupchak's injury. In L.A., he reinvented himself as a potent sixth man on the Showtime-era teams alongside Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy, contributing key scoring off the bench to help secure two NBA championships in 1982 and 1985 before concluding his NBA career. Named to the NBA's 75th anniversary team, the 6-10 McAdoo was a force in the NBA and one of it's most prolific scorers winning three scoring titles in succession and is the last player in the league to average 30 points and 15 rebounds per game in 1974. One of the most dominant players in NBA history was still at his peak in 1976, scoring 42 points for the Braves on December 7th of that year. But two days later he was traded to the Knicks and McAdoo tells us that's when he knew this game was actually a business. He remembers what a thrill it was to be on the cover of SI for the first and only time and he recalls how being named MVP is the ultimate prize… until you win an NBA Championship. He tells us how he came off the bench for the first time ever for Pat Riley's teams and while he didn't start most games, he certainly finished them. And he reminisces about meeting his childhood hero Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and what it his relationship was like with Kareem, Riley and Jerry West. One of the smoothest to ever do it in the NBA… Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo on the Past Our Prime podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Segment 1, Grant dives into the complicated current state of the LA Clippers. Sitting at 27-30 on the season, the team is at a massive crossroads amid rumors of looming league punishments surrounding the Aspiration scandal, which could potentially void Kawhi Leonard's contract. However, there is a massive silver lining shining at the Intuit Dome: Bennedict Mathurin. Since arriving at the trade deadline, Mathurin has been an absolute revelation, including a 38-point showcase against the Nuggets. Grant breaks down why the 23-year-old's elite isolation scoring proves he can be the franchise's next foundational star. In Segment 2, we shift from the future of LA basketball to its legendary past to honor the "Godfather of Showtime."

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.

In hour one, the Home Run derby shouldn't last longer than the Godfather. Revisiting the Top NBA players debate from yesterday and Solana makes his case for LeBron James being the GOAT over MJ. Legendary Men's college basketball coach, Jim Larrañaga, helps us navigate the top 100 list & reveals the members of that list he competed against.

It's a Wisconsin road trip this week for a sit down with Jordan Treske, author of "Building the Milwaukee Bucks: Kareem Abdul‑Jabbar, Oscar Robertson and the Rapid Rise of an NBA Franchise," to explore one of the most astonishing turnarounds in modern American pro sports history. Treske walks us through how Milwaukee rebounded from the loss of the MLB Braves to become an NBA basketball powerhouse in just three seasons — thanks to savvy ownership, an historic draft coin flip, and the ultimate pairing of two all-time greats: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (née Lew Alcindor) and Oscar Robertson. We'll also unpack the racial and cultural tensions of the era, the ABA bidding war, and the community's unique investment in the team. Whether you're a Bucks fan or a basketball history buff, this conversation offers fresh insight into how a franchise — and a city — found its "big league" identity through the game.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“This kingdom of God life is not a matter of waking up each morning with a list of chores or an agenda to be tended to, left on our bedside table by the Holy Spirit for us while we slept. We wake up already immersed in a large story of creation and covenant, of Israel and Jesus, the story of Jesus and the stories that Jesus told. We let ourselves be formed by these formative stories, and especially as we listen to the stories that Jesus tells, get a feel for the way he does it, the way he talks, the way he treats people, the Jesus way.”~Eugene H. Peterson, Tell It Slant: A Conversation onthe Language of Jesus in His Stories and Prayers “When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think ‘I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.' No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, ‘Father, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.' He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.”~Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage “I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice.”~Kareem Abdul-Jabbar SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 9:1-14 (ESV) 1 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness. 2 For a tent was prepared, the first section, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence. It is called the Holy Place. 3 Behind the second curtain was a second section called the Most Holy Place, 4 having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. 5 Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 6 These preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties, 7 but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing 9 (which is symbolic for the present age). According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10 but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation. 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

The EPA announced it will roll back limits established by the Biden administration on "forever chemicals" in drinking water. "Forever chemicals" don't break down easily and are found in water, air, soil and fish. Research connects them to a range of serious illnesses. CBS News medical contributor Dr. Celine Gounder explains what to know. A mother in San Antonio, Texas, was arrested and accused of providing ammunition and other equipment to her son, who authorities say was planning an attack on his middle school. Both are now facing terrorism charges. Warning, the details in this story are disturbing. Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs will have their first opportunity to question his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, on the witness stand Thursday.

Jackie Robinson Day came and went with Kareem calling out the President's attack on DEI (although we don't think it is a ruse for segregation, we think it *is* segregation), Mookie saying some hard truths about the LAD at the White House, and the commissioner saying some weak things and making questionable visits. Pottymouth got the Puk out of there and told us of fast boys, Patti's flock is making with the Ks and she tells us how math works. Miranda has a bad day set to good tunes.

On March 31, 1975, the UCLA Bruins beat the Kentucky Wildcats 92-85 for the 10th and final championship under the legendary Wizard of Westwood, John Wooden. The greatest collegiate coach in U.S. history retired after his team's 7-point win at the Sports Arena in San Diego. UCLA was the best in college basketball in 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 & 1975. An astonishing 10 titles in 12 years! Nothing in major collegiate sports compares to the dominance of what Wooden accomplished in his final dozen years in Westwood. A week later, Steve Garvey was on the April 7, 1975 issue of SI, but the story that captivated the sports world was the final game of Wooden's time at UCLA. The end of an era that will never be replicated… and he went out a champion. Now in retirement at the age of 64, Wooden retreated to his home and continued to be a mentor to the many players who played for him at UCLA, notably, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Lucius Allen, Larry Farmer and countless others. His beloved wife Nell passed in 1985 and Coach fell into a deep funk. His children were deeply worried about the mental anguish the widowed Wooden was enduring with the passing of his wife after 53 years of marriage. Gradually he came out of it with the help of his family, friends, and players who visited with him regularly. One of those who saw Coach Wooden on a regular basis for home visits was his podiatrist, Dr. Michael Levi. Michael would come often to check on the now 80+ year old Coach Wooden and the two soon became more than just a doctor-patient relationship. They would often have breakfast together and talk about family, life, baseball, God, books and any other topic that Wooden found interesting… which was everything. Michael would return home and write down everything that had taken place upon his visit with Coach… and in 2016, 6 years after Coach Wooden was laid to rest at the age of 99, Levi published a book with the help of former L.A. times writer Larry Stewart called, “Wednesdays with Wooden.” Levi talks about how he went to a camp as a 6-year old and saw Wooden for the first time and how is father idolized the legendary Bruins coach. He tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast how he and Wooden became friends over their time together and how he was able to give his father the best birthday gift ever… lunch with Coach Wooden. Levi tells us about the depression that felled the Coach after the death of Nell and what brought him out of it and how the phone never stopped ringing at Coach Wooden's house with players calling to check up on him constantly throughout the day…. Every day… It's an intimate and personal look at the most successful college coach in NCAA history from a man who checked on Wooden's feet, and ended up getting a piece of his heart.

Val Kilmer dead at 65 , Tommy Chong (alive at 86) joins us before Hash Bash, Detroit Tigers broadcaster Andy Dirks preps us for Opening Day, Cory Booker's vanity record, Elon Musk leaving Doge, and Blake Lively still can't win. Joe DePugh, the high school pitcher who threw "speedballs" and inspired Bruce Springsteen's ‘Glory Days,' dies at 75. RIP Val Kilmer. Gone too soon at 65.  We remember some of his classic roles in The Doors, Tombstone, Real Genius, Batman, Willow, At First Sight, Top Gun, and MacGruber.  The documentary Val is available on Amazon Prime and well worth your time. Val Kilmer had quite the team photo of woman. Corey Booker's new record is stupid and pointless. Virginia Guiffrey Roberts is down to one day left to live. She was in court 10 days ago for breaching a restraining order. Do most citizens in Canada own a firearm? Drew has a lot of Canadian gun questions. Netflix has a new documentary on the Gilgo Beach killer called "Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer. Some people are saying it focuses too much on the victim's families. The murders might have been solved faster if it wasn't for the ex-Suffolk County DA and the ex-police chief. Are there any non-criminal reasons someone would need a burner phone or military style body armor? Tommy Chong joins us as he prepares to come to town for Astronomicon. Tommy tells us stories of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, his erratic podcasting schedule, surviving the soCal wildfires, the passing of Val Kilmer, Cheech & Chong's Last Movie, the Ann Arbor Hash Bash and more. Detroit Tigers TV color commentator Andy Dirks joins us before the Tigers home opener this Friday. Elon Musk might be stepping down from Doge. Morgan Wallen was very grumpy behind the scenes at Saturday Night Live. He's now capitalizing on the moment by selling merch. Blake Lively seemingly pulled a Justin Baldoni on an earlier film. She also had a PR stunt at her friend's donut shop that hilariously backfired.

From 2017 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joins us to talk about his new graphic novel from Titan Mycroft Holmes and The Apocalypse Handbook. He's a longtime Sherlock Holmes fan and we talk about his take on the elder Holmes backstory, something Arthur Conan Doyle barely hinted at in few of Sherlock's adventures. Kareem has created an exciting steampunk backdrop and envisions the young Mycroft as a dashing hero rubbing shoulders with many famous people of the 19th century. This is a great read for Holmes and steampunk fans. We also go full blast into Kareem's life long love of comcs from buying them at his local candy store as a child, to his adult appreciation of the books today. You'll hear about encounters with comic book luminaries, adventures at san diego comic cons, and much more. 

Kyle Dunnigan returns and the show starts with Adam talking about going to the Lakers season opener to watch LeBron & Bronny James take the court together for the first time, and an angry cyclist harassing a driver in Utah. Then, “Donald Trump” responds to criticism, from former McDonald's employees, about his afternoon working the fryer, Kyle talks about his history as a breakdancer and they argue about what “the most ‘80s movie” is. Next, Jason “Mayhem” Miller reads the news including stories about the historic Lakers game (which leads to Adam describing his failed attempt to talk to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), and former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO posting a $10M bond following sex trafficking arrest. Finally, rapper G-Eazy makes his first ACS appearance and talks about growing up in Oakland, getting started in music, his hip-hop influences, why Minneapolis is his favorite city to perform in, and moving from L.A. to New York.
