Welcome back to another exciting episode of "Mick Unplugged." I'm your host, Mick Hunt, and today, we have a true sports legend joining us—none other than Rick Barry. In this episode, we dive deep into Rick's storied basketball career and his transition to success in pickleball, where he's clinched numerous national championships. We explore his unique take on game fundamentals, including his famous underhand free throw technique, and his candid critique of modern NBA play. Rick shares nostalgic tales, like his missed 1964 Olympic opportunity, and opens up about his joy and pride in his sons' basketball careers, with special mention of Canyon Barry's impact on the 3x3 basketball scene. We also venture beyond the court as Rick discusses his new passion for pickleball, his entrepreneurial ventures like founding Pickle Zone, and his dedication to promoting health and wellness products. Plus, get insights into his lifelong love for fly fishing, his upcoming engagements in Australia and New Zealand, and his wishes for unity and progress in our country. It's a conversation filled with wisdom, nostalgia, and inspiration. So, stay tuned as we unplug with the one and only Rick Barry!Takeaways: ·       NBA teams should consider underhand free throw technique. ·       Competing in pickleball and winning national championships ·       Disappointment over not making the 1964 Olympic team Questions & Answers: 1.       Question:Mick Hunt: Rick, you've been a vocal advocate for the underhand free-throw technique. Why do you think it's not more widely adopted in today's NBA, even though it has a proven high success rate? Rick Barry: Mick, it boils down to ego and aesthetics. Players don't want to be seen as 'unconventional' or 'old-fashioned.' Despite its effectiveness, the underhand technique has a stigma. My success rate with it was over 92%, which proves its value. It's a missed opportunity for many players today. 2.        Question: Mick Hunt: You've mentioned that modern NBA players often lack deep understanding of game fundamentals. What specific fundamentals do you see as being most neglected? Rick Barry: players today often overlook positioning, screening, and teamwork dynamics. Natural talent is great, but without mastering these basics, it's hard to reach full potential. A strong foundation in fundamentals is crucial for long-term success in the game. 3.         Question: Mick Hunt: Let's talk about officiating. You've criticized the leniency towards moving screens and carrying violations today. How do you think stricter officiating could impact the game? Rick Barry: Better officiating would enforce proper gameplay, improving the quality and fairness of basketball. Uncalled violations allow bad habits to persist, making games sloppier. Stricter calls might slow the game initially but would elevate overall play and skill levels in the long run.

For once I get to be the guy defending the league (and some of my friends). We also discuss the current potential Biden succession chaos. Topics include but aren't limited to…* Why fuck the modern NBA? * Why has criticism of the NBA sharpened after the announcement of its big TV deal? Does the money mean the league is on the right track? * I defend what the champion Boston Celtics represent * Freddie and I disagree on whether the “fans as GMs” phenomenon is bad* ESPN's coverage of LeBron/Bronny is weird* Dismissing Michael Jordan = Being angry at your dad* Freddie hates Nick Wright and I do not* Freddie on The Kamala Conundrum* Why are we here, right now, we these two presidential candidates?

The game of basketball has changed dramatically in the last 40 years. In the early 1990s, Michael Jordan said that 3-point shooting was "something I don't want to excel at," because he thought it might make him a less effective scorer. 20 years later, 3-point shots have taken over basketball. The NBA has even changed dramatically in the last decade. In the 2010s, it briefly seemed as if sharp-shooting guards would drive the center position out of existence. But the last four MVP awards have all gone to centers. In his new book, ‘Hoop Atlas,' author Kirk Goldsberry explains how new star players have continually revolutionized the game. Goldsberry traces the evolution of basketball from the midrange mastery of peak Jordan in the 1990s, to the offensive dark ages of the early 2000s, to the rise of sprawl ball and "heliocentrism," and finally to emergence of a new apex predator in the game: the do-it-all big man. Today, we talk about the history of paradigm shifts in basketball strategy and how several key superstars in particular—Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, Manu Ginóbili, Steph Curry, and Nikola Jokic—have served as tactical entrepreneurs, introducing new plays and skills that transform the way basketball is played.

Early this week, I texted Kirk Goldsberry to invite him onto the pod and talk about his awesome new book, HOOP ATLAS: Mapping the Remarkable Transformation of the Modern NBA. He was in. He had one request. Can we get Brandon Payne on too?YES.A man of many talents, Goldsberry is a professor of Sports Analytics at the University of Texas and has worked at ESPN and the San Antonio Spurs, and evidently, he is also a great producer. It was a great hour with Goldsberry and Payne.Goldsberry's changed the way we watch and talk about basketball, if not changed basketball itself. In his chapter on Stephen Curry, Goldsberry talked to our pal Brandon Payne, Curry's longtime trainer, and shared a bunch of insights on what makes Curry one of one. You should pick up Goldsberry's book at your local Amazon store. Tell ‘em I sent ya!We caught Payne just before he headed out to The Bay to run some workouts with Curry before he jets off to France for the Olympics this summer. As always, he shared so much wisdom with us about basketball, especially here in the States compared to abroad.On this episode, we hit a bunch of topics:* The technology that Stephen Curry uses in workouts* Why the nose is so important* Why swishes aren't good enough for Payne re: Steph* Goldsberry's campaign to kill the corner 3* The return of the bigs* The problem with American youth basketball* What is Wemby going to do to basketball?* Are there too many 3s?

HOOP ATLAS: Mapping the Remarkable Transformation of the Modern NBA (Mariner Books; on sale May 7) is written by by Kirk Goldsberry, the bestselling author of Sprawlball and one of the leading experts in basketball analytics. HOOP ATLAS examines how a handful of superstars have reshaped the sport over the past three decades and charted the course to the future of the NBA. Every few years, a special talent emerges and completely shakes up our understanding of how the NBA is supposed to operate. Whether it's their scoring ability, playmaking skills, or shooting prowess, these players and their tactics fundamentally challenge the traditional norms of the game and redefine what it means to be great on the court. For a period of time, these players each become an "Atlas" for the league, carrying the weight of the NBA on their shoulders while also paving the way for the future of the sport. Together, they map out the modern NBA's creation. HOOP ATLAS showcases the "Atlas" players whose influence has revolutionized the league and reframed greatness, from Michael Jordan to LeBron James to Nikola Jokic, with stops along the way for Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, and Steph Curry. As Goldsberry writes, "NBA superstars don't just dominate the league; some of them bend it to their will and transform aspects of gameplay." Revealing the ways in which these players have dramatically impacted the game, Goldsberry does a deep dive into the dominant trends of the modern NBA, including: · an unprecedented increase in offensive efficiency with shooting percentages now higher than ever· the corner 3 revolution which has changed the geography of the court· the rise in talent from abroad and how international stars have imported new moves and elevated gameplay· the recalibration of the center position by hyper-skilled playmaking big men who can do it all A vibrant new way to compare and debate the contributions of the best NBA players of all-time, HOOP ATLAS masterfully connects NBA past and present, providing a unique graphic journey through the transformation of the best basketball league in the world. With its captivating visuals and compelling storytelling, the book is as much fun to look at as it is to read. A "must-have" for basketball enthusiasts, HOOP ATLAS will leave readers with a deeper appreciation for the game and the players who have influenced it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

When Joel Embiid scored 70 points the same night that Karl-Anthony Towns dropped 62, many people pointed to the evolution of the modern professional basketball player. No so fast says Jason. In a way only Whitlock can, he equates the emasculation of America with the type of play we see in today's NBA. He reveals how over the decades television, media, and the internet have colluded to redefine what it means to be a man, and in doing so further estranged America from its once-proud masculine heritage. Delano Squires joins “Fearless” to add his perspective to the conversation. Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley recently opened up about being the victim of racism as a young “brown” girl in the deep South. Shemeka Michelle weighs in on this controversy. And, Steve Kim is back to discuss whether or not it's time to change this one rule in the NFL. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

In the first solo episode of Good Word with Goodwill, Vincent Goodwill talks through loyalty in the modern NBA, specifically as it relates to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.Before signing with the Golden State Warriors, Kevin Durant re-signed with the Oklahoma City Thunder on the day of LeBron James' “Decision” and was labeled the “loyal superstar” for a few years before leaving OKC for California. Since then, the “loyal superstar” label has been given to Giannis.Nearing 30 years old, Giannis is starting to think of himself as an older player and also starting to worry about his legacy and how much time he has left as a championship-level player.The Milwaukee Bucks recently saw an ownership change, which isn't typical of a championship-level team with a superstar-level player. Are there already concerns in Milwaukee that Giannis is going to leave? Should they consider trading him before he hits free agency?If Giannis were to end up with another franchise, Vinnie wonders if the next “loyal superstar” that everyone will start circling around is Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Despite decades of mediocrity, the New York Knicks inspire an almost religious devotion from their rabid fanbase. The Nets may play across town with three of the biggest stars in NBA history, but New York still bleeds blue and orange. That was never more evident than in the 1990s, when you could watch the Knicks fight on the court…figuratively and literally…at Madison Square Garden.

Chris Herring, author of Blood in the Garden: The Flagrant History of the 1990s New York Knicks, explains how a team known for its tough guy image paved the way for the modern NBA.
