Many entrepreneurs are smart, experienced, and ambitious, but still feel stuck, scattered, and frustrated that their results don't match their potential. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Dr. Donna Blevins, a 6'5" former professional poker player, high-scoring basketball standout, stroke survivor, and performance coach, shows how changing your self-talk, daily habits, and relationship with AI can create real breakthroughs in your business and life. She draws on concepts from her book MindShift, where she teaches how to reframe setbacks, focus on wins, and harness the power of intentional language. Donna shares the pivotal story of being told by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar that her high school basketball stats made her not just “good,” but a star, even though she'd spent years telling herself she was terrible. That moment shattered her habit of focusing on misses instead of scores, and it mirrors how many entrepreneurs obsess over what's not working instead of the results they are getting. Donna explains how this kind of negative self-talk quietly sabotages success, and why shifting your internal language is the first step to changing your external results. From there, Donna gets practical. She reveals her simple productivity framework: finish three small things a day, and plan your business in 90‑day quarters instead of chasing vague, far-off “big goals” you never complete. She talks about her mind shifting process, so powerful she credits it with helping her regain speech three days after a massive stroke, and her exercise to “evict your perfection witch,” freeing you from the perfectionism that keeps offers, content, and ideas stuck in draft mode. You'll learn why doing things live, iterating in public, and embracing “beta” versions is often the fastest path to a profitable, repeatable offer. https://youtu.be/7O3QKP52x0g?si=3CsjDdtyNwHJKBF1 Donna also dives into how she's using AI as a true virtual assistant, not a distraction. She explains how she trained ChatGPT's new work feature to understand her voice (“donatize” her content), organize her Google Drive, build course templates, and act as a pocket performance coach for clients, while maintaining strict boundaries so the tech stays safe, useful, and under her control. For entrepreneurs, especially those over 50, who feel overwhelmed by tech, uncertain about their “next page,” or tired of spinning their wheels, this conversation offers a blend of mindset, systems, and AI strategy rooted in real-world experience. If you're ready to stop overthinking, start finishing, and finally turn your brilliance into bankable results, you'll want to hear what Donna shares. Quotes: "Find three little things that you can finish now. What happens? It changes the frequency, the energy within you, and the frequency around you, because we create the energy around us." "When you make a goal, sure, look at the big hairy-ass goals, that's fine, but look at something that's three months away. If you plan in quarters, you're far more productive." "I created a mind shift exercise called 'Evict Your Perfection Witch' because she has taken residence on my shoulders from time to time, and I want to evict her, evict the bitch, that's what I say."

John Harbaugh's first team meeting as a New York Giant went viral for all the wrong reasons, but Covino & Rich think the internet is blaming the wrong side of the room. The guys break down the speech, the dead silence that followed, and why the most awkward speeches ever given still belong to Steve Buscemi and Chris Farley. Then Henry Winkler stops by Overpromised with a run of sports stories nobody expects from a guy who says he had no room in his brain for sports: the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar game-worn jersey he accidentally threw in the laundry, the ball Magic Johnson stole out of heaven, pitching for the Happy Days softball team, running into Tom Brady at an Italian restaurant, the Adam Sandler phone call that turned into The Waterboy, and the surprise Patrick Mahomes had waiting for him on the field at SoFi. Plus, Henry is still waiting on Mahomes to take him up on that dinner.

There are just two teams left in the fight to become NBA champions this year, and they are two teams that no one expected to get this far: the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. What can we expect from this underdog matchup? We'll talk it out with Marcus Thompson, a lead columnist who covers the NBA at The Athletic.Then we'll hear from someone who's no stranger to NBA championships: Michael Cooper. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the ‘80s, during an era of basketball defined by flashy moves and a run-and-gun style of play. Powerhouse players like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson were at the forefront. But in the background was Michael Cooper, silently but consistently delivering a defense that cemented their legacy.This week, we sit down with Michael Cooper to learn about how he turned a behind-the-scenes role into one worthy of a highlight reel. He'll also talk through the insecurity he faced as a young player making it in the league, and how he moved past it to become an NBA Hall of Famer.

In this 88-minute reunion episode of Off the Screen, the full crew (Jordon, Alejandro Olivo, Michael Brunache, and Sid) is back together after a month-long hiatus. They kick off discussing the massive TV ratings for the NBA Conference Finals, sparking a hilarious rant about soaring streaming costs, Netflix password crackdowns, and unskippable YouTube ads. Once settled, the guys celebrate the San Antonio Spurs punching their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time in 12 years. This triggers a heated, analytic-heavy debate over award season—specifically Jordon's passionate defense of Scottie Barnes' All-Defensive First Team snub and whether a Sixth Man should ever win MVP. The second half shifts to culture and tech. The crew tears apart awful product designs (like the electric Ferrari and Apple's bottom-charging Magic Mouse) and laughs over a viral, AI-generated Nike ad featuring Victor Wembanyama and elite, ankle-breaking nuns. Finally, they put on their historian hats to break down the legends behind the NBA's redesigned trophies and fact-check Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's true MVP numbers.00:00:00 — The Squad Reunites The crew welcomes everyone back from the "injury reserve" after a month away and jokes about who the most reliable host is. 00:01:24 — The Streaming Crisis & Ad Apocalypse High NBA ratings spark a debate on streaming bundles, rising subscription prices, and why paying to watch unskippable ads feels like a scam. 00:07:20 — Texas Bound: The Spurs' Finals Return Recapping the West as San Antonio clinches a Finals spot for the first time in over a decade. Plus, a look at retro court aesthetics. 00:09:14 — Award Season Theft & Jordon's Rant Jordon goes on an absolute tear about Scottie Barnes being snubbed from All-Defense First Team, leading into a debate on SGA's true MVP value. 00:16:32 — Sneaker Culture & The Steph Curry Blueprint Jordon compares his pickup game to Steph, transitioning into a talk on overseas sneaker deals and D-Wade's massive $400M lifetime bag. 00:21:47 — AI Hoops: The Fake Wembanyama Nike Ad Alejandro gets completely fooled by a viral, AI-generated commercial featuring Victor Wembanyama, real hooping nuns, and a cameo by the Pope. 00:23:54 — Design Disasters: Ferraris & Magic Mice A sharp turn into terrible product engineering, comparing the new electric Ferrari's look to the tragedy of Apple's bottom-charging mouse. 00:27:55 — Redesigning History: Trophy Hardware The guys break down the legends behind the NBA's new trophies, questioning why the 1960s Celtics dominate the hardware namesakes. 00:35:10 — The MVP Stat Check: MJ vs. Kareem Pulling up the history books to settle a debate on how many MVPs Kareem and Jordan actually won, analyzing how voter fatigue shifted history. 00:44:15 — The Knicks' Outlook & Eastern RealitiesShifting to the East. The guys discuss building a sustainable contender in New York and the immense pressure of playing at Madison Square Garden.00:56:40 — Unethical Hoops & Media NarrativesA deep dive into how media shapes player reputations and why "unethical," foul-baited styles of play get rewarded by modern refs.01:08:15 — Off-Season Blueprint & Trade RumorsLooking ahead to the draft lottery, potential blockbuster summer trades, and pinpointing which teams are just one piece away from a deep run.01:18:30 — Mailbag Questions & Quick TakesThe guys answer listener questions, covering everything from their favorite basketball movies of all time to upcoming summer sneaker releases.01:25:45 — Outro & Finals PredictionsFinal predictions for the upcoming championship series, locking in bets, and a promise not to take another month-long hiatus.

He is one of basketball's towering figures: "Mr. Clutch," who mesmerized his opponents and fans. The coach who began the Lakers' resurgence in the 1970s. The general manager who helped bring "Showtime" to Los Angeles, creating a championship-winning force that continues to this day. Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story -- from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment and honesty, West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life (Little, Brown and Co, 2011) is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All.

Now, for the first time, the legendary Jerry West tells his story -- from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his relationships with NBA legends like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant. Unsparing in its self-assessment and honesty, West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life (Little, Brown and Co, 2011) is far more than a sports memoir: it is a profound confession and a magnificent inspiration. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, is now available. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep. Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe and Hollywood react to the Heat cutting Terry Rozier after his connection to the NBA point-shaving scandal, noting he hadn't played all season and that opinions remain split on whether he's truly innocent. They also debate whether Rozier was ever a good fit in Miami to begin with, even before the controversy, and question if the move could go down as one of the worst trades in Heat history. The discussion turns critical of Charlotte, with speculation that the Hornets may have been aware of issues before trading him to Miami. The segment wraps with Joe reflecting on a Lakers-Celtics documentary from the Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar era, leading into high praise for Pat Riley and his lasting impact on the game.
In three short years, the Milwaukee Bucks went from merely an idea to NBA champions. What started as a quest by Marvin Fishman and eventually Wesley Pavalon to get Milwaukee back in the big leagues became something bigger than they could have imagined. They attracted a hard-working coach in Larry Costello, a pioneer in Wayne Embry and some of the biggest talents in the game of basketball with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. The pieces fell into place for a franchise that asserted themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. Building the Milwaukee Bucks: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Oscar Robertson, and the Rapid Rise of an NBA Franchise, 1968-1975 (McFarland, 2025) covers the unique formation of the NBA franchise that helped restore the image of the city of Milwaukee amid civil unrest and the departure of Major League Baseball as well as why Abdul-Jabbar never found comfort being the face of the Bucks while living in Milwaukee. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All.

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.
