On this episode of Foxworth Thursday, Bomani Jones and Dominique Foxworth break down Bam Adebayo dropping 83 points in a historic performance—but will anyone remember it like the legendary scoring nights from players like Kobe Bryant? The guys debate how impressive the game really was and why context matters when we talk about huge scoring totals. Later, the Baltimore Ravens reportedly backed out of a trade for Maxx Crosby, leaving the Las Vegas Raiders in a strange position after the deal collapsed over a failed physical. Bomani and Foxworth explain why the situation looks messy—and why the Ravens might have changed their mind after seeing Crosby's medicals. They also discuss why Daniel Jones landing another big contract says a lot about the quarterback market, the surprising reunion between Geno Smith and the New York Jets and why the league might be overloading the schedule with new games—including a possible Thanksgiving Eve matchup.

Rob and Kelvin debate whether or not Bad Adebayo’s 83-point explosion was legitimate or not, tell us why there is such thing as ‘too much NFL football’, and argue how much of the blowback aimed at Bam's 83-point game has to do with the fact that he passed up Kobe Bryant in the process. Plus, former NFL executive and distributor of the ‘Sunday Seven Newsletter’ – Andrew Brandt – swings by to discuss the fallout of the Baltimore Ravens pulling out of the Maxx Crosby trade, his expectations for Malik Willis in Miami, why the Indianapolis Colts decided to lock up Daniel Jones as their QB1 coming off an Achilles injury, and much more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bam Adebayo just dropped 83 points, the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, and the league is still in shock. We break down how the Miami Heat big man did it, from his 43 free-throw attempts to hitting seven threes and scoring 62 by the end of the third quarter. We also talk about where this ranks versus Kobe Bryant's 81 and Wilt Chamberlain's 100, and whether tanking and foul-baiting ruined an all-time performance for some fans.If you want to support, every little bit helps!We appreciate SuperChats, or you can donate:CashApp: $TheFormatPodcastVenmo: TheFormatPodcast
In this emergency episode of Politically Uncorrect, Michael reacts to one of the most controversial stat lines in modern NBA history after Bam Adebayo exploded for 83 points in a game that quickly sparked debate across the basketball world. What initially looked like a historic scoring night — with 31 points in the first quarter, 42 at halftime, and 62 through three quarters — eventually turned into something far more controversial.Michael breaks down how the fourth quarter devolved into blatant stat-chasing, with the Miami Heat repeatedly feeding Bam every possession while the Washington Wizards fouled intentionally, allowing the scoring chase to continue. The situation became even more questionable once it was revealed that Adebayo attempted an NBA-record 43 free throws, raising questions about whether the performance was historic or simply manufactured.From there, Michael dives into the unwritten rules of sports, arguing that many of the norms that protect the integrity of competition were broken in pursuit of a headline-grabbing number. He also addresses the online reaction — particularly from fans eager to see the legendary **81-point performance by Kobe Bryant eclipsed — and why that celebration feels more like an attempt to diminish Kobe's legacy than genuine excitement about Bam's night.To add context, Michael also looks at the highest Game Score (GMsc) performances in NBA history, comparing where Bam's night might fall statistically versus some of the greatest individual games ever recorded.Despite the frustration, Michael makes it clear he doesn't hate Bam — in fact he's long been a fan, partly because of Bam's connection to John Calipari and the Kentucky pipeline. But that admiration makes the whole situation feel even more bittersweet.The episode closes with a bigger question: now that the perceived scoring “glass ceiling” has been shattered, which player might be next to chase the record — and could someone eventually threaten the seemingly untouchable **100-point game by Wilt Chamberlain?

In this deep-dive interview on Found Connect, Nichole shares the raw, unfiltered reality of what it takes to build, fail, and scale in Nigeria and beyond.Nichole discusses her transition from a high-flying career at EY in Atlanta and Brazil to becoming the "Chief Problem Solver" in Lagos. She opens up about the "Mamba Mentality" she adopted from Kobe Bryant—a relentless, competitive drive that pushed her to leave her comfort zone and redefine success. She explains why she dropped "loyalty" as a top value after facing a betrayal that forced her to start from scratch, and why she now prioritizes authenticity and curiosity above all else.This conversation goes beyond business metrics. Nichole talks about the physiological nature of emotions, the "cognitive loneliness" of leadership, and the power of female friendships. She breaks down why most businesses are actually not "venture-backable" and provides a masterclass for founders on the importance of timing, execution, and customer money over investor funding. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, an investor, or someone looking for the motivation to "craft your life," this episode is packed with gems.From her early days as a "terrible child" jumping gates in Lagos to building 143—a wellness and Pilates sanctuary—Nichole's story is one of evolution.

In this episode, we break down why emotion separates unforgettable brands from forgettable ones, how Nike built cultural relevance instead of just selling products, the creative systems that powered some of the brand's most legendary campaigns, why curiosity is the most important trait for creators, and how founders can build brands that actually last in an AI-driven world.Check out Greg here:https://www.youtube.com/ @ghoffbrand https://www.instagram.com/ghoffbrand/Timestamps00:00 – Intro00:01:11 – People Buy the Promise00:03:26 – Emotion Builds Great Brands00:04:16 – Greg's Definition of a Brand00:07:03 – The Kobe Shoe Story00:07:45 – Why Companies Get Risk Averse00:08:28 – Leading From the Front00:10:12 – Innovation Requires Failure00:11:41 – Algorithms Won't Define Brands00:13:04 – Pushing the Envelope at Nike00:13:20 – Riverside Sponsor Break00:14:06 – The “What If?” Mindset00:15:03 – The Savile Row Inspiration00:16:54 – Borrowing Ideas From Other Industries00:18:28 – Curiosity Is the Creator Superpower00:18:57 – Kobe Bryant's Curiosity00:21:05 – Do Creatives Need Constraints?00:22:24 – Volume Beats the First Idea00:23:25 – The Power of Three Framework00:25:06 – The Viral Street Football Campaign00:27:13 – Creative Culture Drives Marketing00:28:15 – Creative Systems and Filters00:29:10 – Where Greg Finds Inspiration00:30:34 – No Insight, No Story00:31:33 – The Jordan Failure Commercial00:33:16 – Why Meme Culture Works00:34:47 – Turning Insight Into POV00:36:12 – Nike ID and Customization00:37:23 – Kobe's Soccer Sneaker Inspiration00:38:05 – Are You Born With Taste?00:39:08 – Taste in the AI Era00:40:03 – “Be a Sponge” for Taste00:41:33 – Style, Performance, Culture00:42:03 – Learning Taste From Others00:44:01 – Technology Raised Design Quality00:45:11 – Disposable Photography Problem00:46:11 – Why Photography Still Matters00:48:05 – Sneaker Industry Competition00:49:58 – Performance Culture Brands00:51:25 – Why Big Brands Must Play Small00:52:37 – Building Worlds Inside Brands00:54:30 – The Rise of IRL Experiences00:55:03 – Nike's Underdog Mentality00:56:31 – Multi-Dimensional Campaigns00:57:41 – Story vs Product Specs00:58:00 – Overground vs Underground Marketing00:59:10 – Always-On Performance Marketing01:00:11 – Emotional Value of Products01:01:13 – What Underground Marketing Means01:02:09 – Earning Cultural Relevance01:03:28 – Brands Must Build Worlds01:04:54 – Power of Physical Experiences01:06:22 – Never Lose the Underdog01:07:41 – Resources Don't Create Innovation01:08:32 – Multi-Layer Campaign Strategy01:09:48 – Story Beats Product Specs01:11:10 – Three Layers of Marketing01:12:32 – Performance vs Brand Marketing01:13:40 – Emotion Drives Products01:15:36 – You Can't Chase Cool01:16:47 – Origin of Iconic Products01:17:56 – Function Creates Longevity01:19:12 – When Products Become Culture01:21:03 – Start With Intent01:22:45 – What Makes Products Last01:24:31 – Culture vs Trends01:26:17 – Community Drives Longevity01:28:02 – Earning Cultural Authority01:29:44 – Stay Close to Community01:31:18 – Brand Building in the AI Era01:33:02 – Humanity Is the Advantage01:35:19 – Athlete Personal Brands01:36:48 – Creating a Brand North Star01:38:22 – Defining Brand Identity01:39:50 – Content Needs Strategy01:41:34 – Building a Brand World01:43:21 – Storytelling Creates Revenue01:45:07 – The Long Game of Branding01:46:58 – Authenticity Wins Long Term01:49:16 – The After PartyIf you liked this episode please send it to a friend and take a screenshot for your story!

Jay Bilas joins Mo and Coach Brendan Suhr for a full breakdown of what might be the deepest NBA draft class in history. If you're trying to figure out who to watch beyond the big three of Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa and Cameron Boozer - and whether this freshman class really is as stacked as everyone says - this is the episode to listen or watch.Jay explains why he'd still take Cooper Flagg number one over every prospect in this year's class, what's really going on with Darren Peterson's availability, and the sleeper names that NBA scouts are quietly circling. The conversation goes deep on the art versus science of the draft, with stories about Michael Jordan falling to third, Jerry West outworking everyone in the league, and Kobe Bryant going 13th overall.The trio also tackles some of the NBA's biggest current debates: should teams be tanking for this draft? Is the 65-game rule fair when genuinely injured players like Jokic miss the cut? And why the American basketball development system might need to drop its arrogance and learn from international pathways. Plus, Jay shares stories from his time as Coach K's graduate assistant at Duke and what makes Jon Scheyer a coaching genius.Topics covered: The historically deep 2026 NBA Draft freshman class Sleeper prospects: Caleb Wilson, Keaton Wagler, Nate Ament, Darius Acuff, Milan Momcilovic Cooper Flagg vs this year's class - where Jay would rank him Darren Peterson's availability and the narrative problem The art vs science of the NBA Draft Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Greg Oden draft stories Jerry West's unmatched work ethic as a GM American vs international player development and the soccer connection Jon Scheyer and Duke's coaching succession Tanking incentives and the 65-game award rule The flagrant foul debate
A potential jersey number change from Abdul Carter sparks a surprisingly passionate debate. If a player switches numbers after fans already bought the jersey, who really pays the price? Evan and Tiki Barber discuss why more pass rushers want single digit numbers, whether players should have to wait years before changing them, and how trends from stars like Micah Parsons and Kayvon Thibodeaux have made the look more popular. They also dive into famous jersey number changes across sports including Michael Jordan wearing 45 after his return and Kobe Bryant switching numbers mid career. Then it's time for Cinco de Luncho, with the Top 5 Worst Places to Fall Asleep… from school to public transportation, and even a certain viral moment at the NFL Combine. Along the way the guys also hit on Giants training camp possibly heading to West Virginia and the never ending Jets quarterback debate.

Today, Gavi FINALLY gets to talk about his favorite topic, Jean Beaudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation," which explains Hyperreality. "The Matrix" film is allegorical to the postmodern condition of Hyperreality. We discuss examples of simulacra, Hyperreality, and the history of how we (in the western canon) came to view the world this way. We discuss simulated reality as it relates to christian fundamentalism and the US.If you have any thoughts, opinions, or questions about this topic (or corrections) please let us know either by comment or by emailing us at LeavingEdenPod@gmail.com!

Panini National Treasures Preview in this episode. A big Kobe Bryant card surfaces at Goldin!! Dive into the fascinating world of unlicensed sketch cards, where scarcity meets creativity. Paulo explores how these hand-drawn, artist-designed cards—often missing logos—may be undervalued because of licensing gaps. He discusses why unlicensed art could be the next big thing, especially as collectors seek unique, artist-driven pieces outside traditional licensing constraints. Could these unlicensed sketches, which often feature top players but lack logos, surge in value once their unlicensed status becomes a sought-after trait? It's a market built on scarcity, art, and the thrill of the unseen.

Season 7, Episode 24 of Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank is officially The Willie Mays Episode — because in Frank's book, Willie Mays is the greatest all-around baseball player to ever step on a diamond. Kobe Bryant? Ken Griffey Jr.? Great choices. But this week, the Say Hey Kid gets the nod.Dan and Frank open in the post-football lull of the sports calendar — though as they quickly prove, there's never really a slow week. The Cowboys dominate early discussion, starting with Dallas franchise-tagging wide receiver George Pickens. Frank applauds the move, arguing that the Cowboys wisely avoided backing up the Brinks truck for a long-term deal given Pickens' “knucklehead” reputation — even if he's essential to keeping the offense competitive.Then comes the real cap-space debate: Brandon Aubrey. One of the best kickers in the NFL wants elite money — reportedly around $10 million per year. Is that justified? Or is paying a kicker that kind of money a luxury a defensively-struggling team simply can't afford? Dan makes the hard cap argument, while Frank wrestles with how often kickers truly swing outcomes. It's roster construction vs. clutch performance — and the Cowboys' front office has tough decisions ahead.From there, the conversation shifts to the NFL Combine — or as some call it, the “Underwear Olympics.” Do 40-yard dash times for offensive linemen really matter? Does bench press strength translate to Sunday performance? Dan questions whether the Combine is more made-for-TV spectacle than football evaluation — and floats a bigger idea: why doesn't the NFL formally partner with the UFL to give third-string quarterbacks and developmental players real game reps? The discussion becomes a broader critique of how the league handles player development.The Olympics segment brings passion back to the forefront. The guys celebrate Team USA's dramatic gold medal victories in men's and women's hockey — both 2–1 overtime thrillers over Canada — and reflect on how rare it feels to simply enjoy a patriotic sports moment without controversy. They tackle the media backlash surrounding political narratives, White House invitations, and postgame reactions, ultimately arguing that the Olympics should be about representing your country — period.Then comes a fascinating debate sparked by a CNN article: Norway tied the U.S. in gold medals and surpassed America in total medals at the Winter Olympics. Why? Norway claims it's because youth sports in their country emphasize fun, participation, and no scorekeeping until age 16. Dan isn't buying it. He argues the explanation is cultural and geographic — winter sports are embedded in Norway's identity in ways they simply aren't in most of America. It becomes a deeper look at how culture shapes athletic pipelines, why the U.S. dominates in basketball and football, and why hockey participation remains limited compared to Canada and Scandinavia.The episode closes with updates from MLS correspondent Daniel Hooks (including Champions League and upcoming U.S. national team matches), a shout-out to Ignite and Tony Dungy, and reflections on faith, community, and church life at First Baptist Church of Phillipsburg.As always, the show wraps the only way it knows how: loving sports, loving Jesus more, and inviting listeners to be part of both conversations.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

BEST OF: Step into the Conspiracy Finals as we dissect the most polarizing NBA rigged theory: magnets in the basketball. We investigate the "impossible" shots and viral "magnet proof" videos, revealing how a decade-old NBA parody commercial became the blueprint for modern basketball conspiracy theories. From Kawhi Leonard's iconic Game 7 bounce to the physics of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant's record-breaking misses, we challenge the narrative that the league is a scripted sports production like the NFL. We also tackle the "magnet toggle" claims surrounding stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, analyzing if these bizarre rim-hangers are a secret scheme or just the statistical certainty of 200,000 shots per season. Discover the truth behind the magnetized rimmyth and why the internet is obsessed with "glitches in the matrix" on the hardwood.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

0:00 ... Ross hello and welcome the crew ... episode #227 is dedicated to Jordan Walsh of the Celtics. 0:59 ... Bruce introduces his fellow "Brucie B" ... Bruce Bowen ... 1:49 ... Bruce tells the story of the "unretirement" of his #12 jersey that he wore with the Spurs. 3:17 ... How Bowen basically created the position we now know as the "Three and D" and what the role meant to him. 5:02 ... On his battles with Kobe Bryant and how he approached the matchup ... his description of how he used film to prepare is really interesting. And how Kobe was always in attack mode. 7:34 ... Bowen's legendary battle with LeBron James in the 2007 NBA Finals and how he forced LeBron into uncomfortable shots. But Bruce also appreciates LeBron's skills. 9:00 ... Ross asks Bruce about current stars and how he would guard some of them. Jaylen Brown is singled out by Bowen for his intelligence in many areas. 11:33 ... Phoenix Suns fan Ross still has nightmares from his Suns playing the Spurs back in the day. Bruce explains how hard it was to beat those guys in the postseason and how the Suns never played defense under Mike D'Antoni. 14:25 ... Bruce played for Pat Riley in Miami early in his career and he shares some amazing insight on how he and Riles interacted during their time together. He tells an incredible story about a tense contract discussion and how he said goodbye to Miami and bet on himself to succeed in San Antonio. 18:57 ... Bruce played for Miami in some intense playoff battles against the Knicks and Bruce explains the connection from two coaches named Van Gundy with Riles. Bruce has memories of Knicks fans coming to Florida to root for the Knicks. 21:27 ... World B asks Bruce about Tim Duncan and why he is not in the "GOAT" conversation. Bruce gives a great analysis of how Tim thinks and how he took the baton from David Robinson and won more championships. Bruce gives a great blueprint on Duncan's road to becoming a leader. Bruce shares a great story of how Gregg Popovich made it clear that if Tim felt he wanted to leave San Antonio, he should explore his options. And Tim never left. 25:18 ... Bruce takes a deep dive into his relationship with Gregg Popovich and how people misconstrued Pop's relationship with players. Pop always made it clear that his job was to coach guys and that the negative stuff always came from a good place. 29:18 ... As for the current Spurs team ... there's tremendous upside with Victor Wembanyama and young head coach Mitch Johnson. Victor brings guys together and all the current players respect each other. Bruce mentions Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper as young studs along with a mature group of veterans that have quickly developed great chemistry. 33:16 ... Wemby has a competitive edge that has surprised a lot of people because of the way he looks. The way he presented himself at All Star Weekend demonstrated leadership. 36:08 ... Bruce explains how Mitch Johnson has echoed some of Pop's philosophy but in a more contemporary style. Pop was so much of a legend that he seemed unapproachable to younger guys but Mitch is from their era and relates well. 39:09 ... Dylan Harper is a rookie who is learning quickly what it means to be a Spur. Having a system that emphasizes the team over personal agendas helps young players develop more quickly. Bruce feels the team success gives Harper a chance to make a bigger impact that hotter rookie names like Cooper Flagg and VJ Edgecombe. 42:07 ... Bruce from 48 Minutes predicted greatness for the Spurs long before they started playing like a championship contender. But they're so far ahead of schedule that they look like they could win it all this year. What could stop them? The "other" Bruce breaks it all down. 44:57 ... When discussing the officials and all the heat they're getting, Bruce feels like the the replays have hurt the relationship between players, coaches, and refs. Bruce has little patience for guys that can't put a bad call behind them and keep playing. As always, he has a great story about official Danny Crawford, who was inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame. 48:59 ... The 65 game minimum for postseason awards has cost some players awards that they might have won. Is 65 the right number of minimum games or should the number be lower ... maybe 62? Bruce feels the awards should take a back seat to what is best for the team. 52:13 ... Word Association ... David Robinson: Man of Faith 53:21 ... Draymond Green ... Fiery and Comfortable with Self 56:11 ... Luka Doncic ... Talented to a Fault 57:42 ...Tony Parker ... Wisdom at a Young Age 59:14 ... Shai Gilgeous Alexander ... Aggressive Competitor 1:00:17 ...

In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman delivers one of his most honest and direct messages yet—a challenge to stop living in the past and start owning what you can actually control: TODAY.Using the mindset of Kobe Bryant and the response of Jalen Hurts after a Super Bowl loss, Ben breaks down what real mental toughness looks like. Kobe didn't see failure as final—he saw it as feedback. Hurts didn't let critics define him—he let preparation and discipline do the talking. The common thread? Champions don't carry losses as identity. They carry them as fuel.Ben ties it all back to the Prizefighter Day framework—winning the day through ownership of your actions, your energy, and your standards. Too many people say they want greatness, but their habits tell a different story. Too many are still dragging around last week's mistakes, last year's disappointments, or old labels that no longer serve them.This episode isn't about hype. It's about accountability. It's about alignment. It's about deciding that your past will not dictate your future. If you're ready to let go of what was and lock into what can be—this is your reminder to show up, reset, and win today.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes picture book author Barb Rosenstock to talk about her captivating new title, Houdini's Library. Drawing on her deep love of history and storytelling, Barb shares how a tiny sign at the Library of Congress—"Houdini Collection" —sparked years of research and ultimately this book. Barb and Jed dive into the real Harry Houdini: not just the "handcuff king" and daring escape artist, but a relentless learner who built a massive working library of magic books. Barb explains that Houdini, who likely had only a second‑ or third‑grade education, used books to teach himself everything—from escapes to showmanship to public relations. They talk about how he studied older tricks, respected the magicians who came before him, and combined ideas to create something new—powerful lessons for kids about persistence, creativity, and hard work. Barb also highlights the team effort behind both Houdini's performances and her own books, reminding listeners that big achievements are almost never solo acts. She connects Houdini's discipline to athletes like Kobe Bryant: the first in the gym, the last to leave, still practicing even at the top. Later in the episode, Jed chats with 12‑year‑old author Shravya Khandelwal, whose middle grade novel The Curse of Judice blends suspense, demons, and a brave heroine named Sarah. Shravya talks about her love of spooky, supernatural stories, how curiosity pulls kids into mysteries, and what it feels like to be a young, published author balancing school, big dreams, and book promotion.
What If Your Next Shot… Your Next Sale… Your Next Decision… Is the One That Changes Everything? Today I've got one of your all-time favorite guests back on the show, and there's a reason the downloads go through the roof every time he's here. When I sit down with Alan Stein Jr, you get value in every single minute. We're talking about mindset, emotional control, confidence, intensity, and what it really takes to separate yourself from the pack. Alan's new book, Next Play, isn't just about sports. It's about life. It's about what you do after you miss the shot, lose the sale, get knocked down, or make a mistake you wish you could take back. We unpack what Alan calls having a “whiteboard memory.” The great ones erase the miss and step into the next moment like it never happened. Think about that. How many of us drag the last mistake into the next opportunity? How many people let one bad quarter, one breakup, one failure define their identity? Alan and I talk about why attaching your self-worth to outcomes is a trap. Confidence is not built on results. It's built on process, preparation, keeping the promises you make to yourself, and mastering the fundamentals. That's where real separation happens. We also dive into one of the most powerful lessons I've ever heard about excellence. Alan shares the story of working with Kobe Bryant at 3:30 in the morning. Not flashy drills. Not tricks. Just relentless attention to the basics. Kobe told him, “I never get bored with the basics.” That line alone could change your life. The great ones do not skip steps. They do not get distracted by hype. They obsess over mastery. And they stack that obsession for years. That is how you create separation no one can catch. But this episode is not just about performance. It's about fulfillment. Alan challenges the idea that we should chase happiness. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is built. It's built through resilience, emotional regulation, accountability, and learning how to move to the next play without becoming a victim of the last one. We talk about parenting, leadership, business, relationships, and what to do when you're flat on the canvas and need a way forward. If you're in a season where you need a reset, this conversation is your blueprint. I'll tell you this. The most powerful thing Alan said today is that your next play can be your best play. Not because the last one was perfect, but because you learned from it. Your mistakes are not your identity. They are part of your collage. And if you're willing to forgive yourself, adjust, and step forward with intention, your next 50 years can be your best 50 years. This one will hit you right between the eyes in the best way possible. Key Takeaways: Why you must separate your emotions from your performance How to build confidence through process instead of outcomes The power of mastering the basics and stacking consistency over time What to do when you've failed and need to create your next play Why fulfillment beats chasing happiness every time How accountability and emotional regulation shape leaders and families If you're ready to stop replaying the last mistake and start attacking the next opportunity, this episode is for you. Let's go make your next play your best one. Max Out.
