Podcast appearances and mentions of Monty Williams

Brendon Kleen recaps the 14th straight win from the Phoenix Suns, which featured a vintage, efficient Devin Booker scoring explosion and some interesting lineup juggling from Monty Williams. But most importantly, as the Suns tie the 1992-93 team for the third-longest win streak in franchise history and look toward more records in the coming days, could this team become the best Suns squad ever?

After starring at Villanova and winning an NCAA Championship along the way, the stage was set for Mikal Bridges to enter the NBA and keep the Philly dream going as he was picked by the 76'ers. But life doesn't always work out the way we want or expect, and Mikal found himself involved in a draft night trade and the key piece of rebuilding Phoenix Suns team. From that point on, it's been steady rise in both play and stardom as Bridges continues to forge his name among the league's most exciting players. And the best part? He's only just begun. Teaming with CP3, he's led the Phoenix Suns to a scorching hot start to this season as they ride a 13 game winning streak. JJ and Tommy talk to Mikal about that, as well as his crazy draft night, his years at 'Nova, the closeness of this Suns' team, the influence Jay Wright and Monty Williams have had on his career, and so much more.

Los Phoenix Suns consiguieron la victoria numero 10 de forma consecutiva. En el show hablamos sobre lo especial que a sido esta temporada para Monty Williams y los Phoenix Suns. Hablamos de eso y mucho mas en Deportes Al Maximo.

Robert Sarver, the owner of the Phoenix Suns (and the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury), is under investigation by the NBA for alleged racist and misogynistic comments and fostering a hostile and toxic workplace. Despite all that, the team keeps winning on the court, having won 9 in a row as of Monday night. Duane Rankin, the Suns beat reporter for the Arizona Republic, tells our Otto Strong and Bruce Bernstein how the team has been able to keep focus on playing great basketball while all the controversy swirls around their owner. Rankin credits the leadership of head coach Monty Williams and point guard Chris Paul. Rankin also gives us what the mood is from the fans about the team and the Sarver allegations and what he thinks will be the timeline for how long the league investigation will take. Plus, Bruce and Otto also discuss the drama going on with the Lakers and 76ers, and the surprising starts of three teams in the East -- Washington Wizards, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams described Deandre Ayton only getting the one shot in the second half of the team's loss to the Kings a "conundrum" but is it more than just one half that's so confusing about his game?

On this Mail Bag episode of the Jacked Ramsays, Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague take on your questions after the Trail Blazers plays two VERY different games against the Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns that may have raised more questions than they answered? Many have been left wondering, which version of the Trail Blazers is closer to the one we might see this year? A more listless effort against a middling team like the Kings that saw the Blazers look much like they did in preseason- mixed in with explosive scoring from CJ McCollum- or is it the team the had the Phoenix Suns down by 30-plus points early in the 4th quarter and saw coach Monty Williams wave the white flag of defeat with more than 10 minutes remaining in the game? One common thread through both games, CJ McCollum has heard all of the talk about where he stands in the NBA and he's come out swinging leading Portland in scoring both games while being incredibly efficient... so of course we were asked - is this the year for CJ McCollum to be an All-Star? Beyond that, questions about the prowess of the bench unit, and an update on Norman Powell's injury make it into the show as the guys discuss Nassir Little possibly stepping into the starting lineup.

Monty Williams is entering his third season as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns. In 2020-21, he led the Suns to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1993 and finished second behind Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau for the NBA's Coach of the Year award.  Prior to his time in Phoenix, Williams had coaching stops in New Orleans, Portland and Oklahoma City. The former player was a No. 1 draft pick by the New York Knicks back in 1994. He played for 10 seasons with the Knicks, Spurs, Nuggets, Magic and 76ers before retiring after the 2003 season.  Today on the podcast, we talk to Monty Williams about success, humility, the 2021 NBA Finals experience, serving others and the legacy he wants to leave.  --- Receive our 10-day Sports Spectrum Devotional written by professional athletes for FREE when you sign up for our Sports Spectrum Weekly Email Newsletter.

In this episode...The guys catch up with a friend of Tyler's, Jason Rogers.  Jason shares his life and where his hustle and vision comes from.  The guys talk about influence, not the fleeting and vain social media influencer kind, but the transformative and the "be legendary" kind.  Jason honors his grandparents, his parents, his wife, and his crew and in their time together the guys get a sense of Jason's journey from insecurity and fear to faith and legacy. Show NotesThey Said It..."If you were to select just two or three individuals in your life who have been most influential, what specifically did they do that was most helpful to you at a critical or important moment in your life?  On reflecting for a few moments, you are apt to conclude that such a person really cared for you, that he or she taught you something you needed to know.  Reflect now on your own performance." -Spencer W. Kimball“Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.” -Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” -Pablo Picasso"Don't just ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive.  Because what the world needs are people who are fully alive." -Howard Thurman to Martin Luther King Jr.References...Monty Williams' press conference after losing Game 6 of the NBA Finals to the Milwaukee BucksMonty Williams' visit to the winning team's locker room to congratulate the Bucks on their NBA ChampionshipAnd behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me. -Alma 29:10Kobe Bryant's advice "Be legendary" to Devin Booker"By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North"As a Child" by Henry B.
