0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces panel and dedicates show #223 to Jaren Jackson Jr, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year. 1:17 ... Dave's former team, the Clippers have played well the past month but still became sellers at the deadline ... what was their plan? 2:55 ... The Memphis Grizzlies sent Jaren Jackson Jr to the Utah Jazz in a curious move. Is there any sense to this move and some other recent moves like trading Dillon Brooks and Desmond Bane? 6:26 ... Dave worked with Danny Ainge in Boston where he pulled off a trade for Ray Allen that helped the Celtics acquire Kevin Garnett and win a title. Can he pull off a similar trick in Utah? 8:52 ... Utah basically tanked a winnable game last weekend against Orlando ... was it a bad look for the league that needs to be addressed? 10:55 ... Will Jazz coach Will Hardy start feeling the pressure next year with a better group of players? 11:45 ... The Washington Wizards seem to be moving away from their young players by acquiring veterans like Trae Young, Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, and some others. Will it stifle the progress their young guys were making? 14:34 ... The Wizards seem like a rudderless ship but Dave feels their new GM Michael Winger is smart and there may be subsequent steps involving the guys they acquired. 15:54 ... What about the Celtics trading Anfrenee Simons and getting back Nik Vucevich? Dave loves the deal for Boston. Dave also feels like Brad Stevens has done amazing work in making smart moves while keeping the team in good financial shape. 18:27 ... Payton Pritchard is back to his 6th man role with the departure of Simons. Dave loves this role for him because Pritchard proved he could start in the league and he'll have lots of freedom on the second unit. 20:06 ... Jonathan Kuminga was traded from Golden State to Atlanta with Kristaps Porzingis going to the Warriors ... how does this affect their playoff chances? 21:30 ... How does Kuminga fit in in Atlanta? 23:22 ... What does Giannis Antetokounmpo's future look like? Is he staying in Milwaukee for the long haul? 24:43 ... Expect to see Giannis in Milwaukee at the start of next season. Giannis is very loyal. Dave compares him to what Kevin Garnett went through in Minnesota. 26:09 ... Orlando was quiet at the trade deadline. They're a well coached team with a good roster but they should be better. 27:16 ... Fun topics to cloe the show... how serious are the Philadelphia 76ers as contenders in the east? 28:27 ... The Charlotte Hornets have been on fire ... do they have a chance to make the postseason? 29:48 ... Dave feels Sacramento is the opposite of the Hornets ... they haven't been to the Finals since 1951 and the owner keeps firing good coaches. No reason for excitement in SacTown. 32:13 ... The Bulls have made a bunch of trades and didn't get any first round picks while some of their guys made contributions elsewhere. They never seem to have a breakout season but it's hard to see what direction they're moving in. 33:59 ... Injuries have been a problem across the league and it's making some good players ineligible for postseason awards due to the 65 game rule. Can anything be done? 36:25 ... Is there anything about the style of play that is causing injuries to occur more frequently? Dave cites some examples of random injuries 38:46 ... LeBron James needs to play every game the rest of the way since he would need to do that to reach 65 games played. If he does it, is that good for the team? Dave transitions into a fun story about how he once played just 5 seconds in a game, and went into that game at the 47:55 mark. 43:49 ... Can the Spurs be a serious contender? Dave feels like they can and also ticks off some other teams he feels can win it all. 46:49 ... Ross wraps things up and closes out the show. TRT 47:21 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Hoopsology Podcast, we welcome back Paul Knepper, author of Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, for a deep dive into one of the most underrated legends in NBA history — Moses Malone. Moses was more than a three-time MVP and NBA champion. He was a trailblazer, the first modern player to go straight from high school to the pros — paving the way for stars like Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. Yet despite his dominance, Moses has largely been forgotten by fans and media alike. In this exclusive interview, Paul Knepper breaks down why Moses Malone's legacy deserves far more recognition. From his groundbreaking leap from high school to the pros, to his mentorship of Charles Barkley, to his quiet personality that kept him out of the spotlight — this conversation reveals the full, complex life of a basketball prophet who changed the game forever.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the news that Kevin Garnett and the Wolves have mended their relationship. KG will join the team as an ambassador and will have his jersey retired at some point. After a decade of strained feelings, this is right. Plus the Wild are No. 3 in their division -- and the entire NHL -- after another win Thursday. 10:00: Bobby Nightengale joins Rand for a dissection of the big Twins news this week. 29:00: The Seahawks won a wild one over the Rams; even if the Vikings had been better this year, they wouldn't be a playoff team.
Thursday 5pm Hour: On the DeRush-Hour, Jason goes "In Depth" with Chris Hine from the Star Tribune about the return of Kevin Garnett to the Wolves. Then he talks with Aaron Meyerring, co-owner of the Electric Fetus, about getting some great last minute gifts for the Holidays.

This hour Henry reacts to the news that Timberwolves legend Kevin Garnett is back with the team in an off-court role, he talks Wolves and more with Charles Hallman from the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder, plus we have Word on the Street.
Henry talks with Charles Hallman from the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder about the Wolves underwhelming play, Kevin Garnett reconciling with team ownership, JJ McCarthy's progression, the changes with Twins ownership and more.
This week, the guys discuss the Cowboys' 34–26 loss to the Vikings and why it feels like the season is effectively over, even if the team continues to operate otherwise. Dallas falls to 6-7-1, remains outside the NFC playoff picture, and continues to struggle with red zone execution and defensive consistency. With Philadelphia firmly in control of the division, the conversation centers on the growing gap between the team's public messaging and the reality of where things stand.Around the league, Miami turns to rookie Quinn Ewers as the season shifts toward evaluation, Patrick Mahomes' torn ACL abruptly ends Kansas City's year and reshapes the AFC outlook, and Micah Parsons being sidelined adds another major injury to an already thinning playoff field. In the NBA, Kevin Garnett returns to Minnesota in a significant role as the franchise prepares to honor his legacy, while the Knicks' NBA Cup win reignites debate about the tournament's place in the league. In music, 21 Savage releases What Happened to the Streets? and sparks conversation with a series of Atlanta-focused tweets, A$AP Rocky resurfaces with updates on Don't Be Dumb, and the episode closes with a holiday music discussion.
After years of animosity, Kevin Garnett has returned to the organization as an ambassador, and a retirement ceremony isn't too far away. As for the current team, they won two out of three, but wasted an opportunity versus a mediocre Grizzlies team.

Tune in for the sports world's wildest headlines and the stories behind them.
The story of Moses Malone is one of basketball's most remarkable - and underappreciated - journeys. Rising from poverty in segregated Petersburg, Virginia, in the early 1970s, Malone became the first modern player to jump straight from high school to the pros, quickly establishing himself as one of the game's most dominant forces. A three-time NBA MVP, relentless rebounder, and driving presence behind the rise of the early 1980s Houston Rockets and the Philadelphia 76ers' 1983 league championship, Malone redefined greatness - quietly, humbly, and unstoppably. This week, biographer Paul Knepper, author of "Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet," joins us to explore the man behind the legend and how his life reshaped both the sport and professional basketball culture. Knepper traces Malone's rise from a poor upbringing to his groundbreaking 1974 leap to the American Basketball Association's Utah Stars - an unprecedented move that paved the way for future hoops prodigies like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, and LeBron James. On the court, Malone was a tireless worker, perennial All-Star, and the most dominant offensive rebounder in league history. Off it, the "Chairman of the Boards" quietly mentored rising stars like Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon, showing that greatness could coexist with humility. Through rare interviews and meticulous research, Knepper restores Malone's rightful place in basketball history - not just as a Hall of Famer, but as a "prophet" of professionalism, perseverance, and quiet excellence.
