Podcasts about nba all stars

In this very special episode of Celebrate Your Story, I sit down with someone many of you know well: former NBA All-Star and legendary rebounder Jayson Williams. After a brilliant career cut short by injuries, Jayson went through some very dark years — addiction, public struggle, and eventually incarceration. But he refused to let his past define him. Instead, he chose gratitude, accountability, and the hard work of rebuilding. In doing so, he's helping others rebuild their lives too. Jayson walks me through the journey that led him to create REBOUND, a program grounded in outdoor adventure and spiritual grounding for adults in recovery and returning from incarceration. From paddleboarding to skydiving, REBOUND gives its participants confidence, connection, and a sense of possibility. He also shares his newest effort, REBOUND on the Road, an eight-week truck-driving program in Nassau County that helps people earn commercial licenses and take their first steps toward meaningful careers. This is a story about resilience and the power of lifting others as you rise. I hope you'll tune in to hear Jayson's extraordinary second act and the impact he's making every day.

It's taken the Menschwarmers several weeks of mourning to get over the Toronto Blue Jays' World Series loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and no amount of broadcast cutaways to 89-year-old Sandy Koufax in the crowd during that intense seven-game series can help. But now, weeks later, after the shivas have ended for that miracle run, The CJN's sports podcasters are back—and they have a lot to look forward to. In this episode, they take note of Deni Avdija, the Portland Trail Blazer who's having a breakout season that could make him the first Israeli to ever make an NBA All-Star team. Then they turn to Zach Hyman, who triumphantly returned to the Edmonton Oilers and immediately logged a career-high 11 hits in a game, after getting injured in last season's Western Conference Finals and missing the Stanley Cup Finals entirely. After that, they look south to college football, where Jake Retzlaff has lead the Tulane Green Wave to tie for first place in the American Conference. There are plenty of accomplishments worth celebrating for Jewish athletes—catch up on what's happening with this week's episode of Menschwarmers.

They break down everything from Jimmy Kimmel's lifelong bandmate to a tragic Last Chance U figure — plus a food influencer, a one-hit-wonder frontman, and multiple legendary athletes. Then it's onto sports: a Texas state trooper's big-time bitch move, O.J.'s estate finally paying up, Matt Kalil's “two Coke can” situation, and the dangerous reality of NFL painkiller culture. The voicemails bring a penguin joke and pure chaos. In non-sports, the guys revisit Hitler's micro-penis allegations and Kim Kardashian's delusional approach to law school. Finally, the Crocodile Hunter's son is now an underwear model, Russians are dismembering crypto scammers, and New Jersey dudes are crashing DeLoreans while hauling 87 baggies of coke.

Simpson's Estate Finally Paying Fred Goldman More than 30 years later, Goldman may finally see millions from the civil judgment.

No one fact-checks because… who's defending Hitler's anatomy? • Kim Kardashian Failed the Bar — Blames Psychics Despite no law school attendance, Kim expected to pass because psychics told her so. The guys ask: Who would ever hire Kim as a lawyer? • The Crocodile Hunter's Son Is Now an Underwear Model Robert “Bob” Irwin drops a campaign featuring snakes and a very deliberate bulge. The internet… notices. • Russian Crypto Scammer & Wife Dismembered Stole $500 million through a fake app → kidnappers found his crypto wallet empty → heads and limbs removed. “Extortion plot” my ass — pure revenge. • New Jersey Man Crashes DeLorean With 87 Bags of Cocaine A very Jersey combination: 80s car, drug dealing, bad decisions.

RUNDOWN   We're in a foul mood after the Seahawks' ugly loss to the Rams, unpacking Sam Darnold's four-interception stinker, the looming backlash from "I told you so" Darnold haters, and the gut-punch of Gray Zabel's injury. Mitch unleashes a full-on rant about Greg Olsen's broadcast style ("constant blabber"), while Scott notes how different the offense looks without Tory Horton on the field. The mood finally lifts with the news that the Mariners have locked up Josh Naylor on a five-year extension, giving Seattle fans a much-needed jolt of optimism. And then some baseball outrage: Cal Raleigh narrowly finishes second in AL MVP to Aaron Judge. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) to break down the Seahawks' 21–19 loss to the Rams — a game that somehow stayed close despite four interceptions from Sam Darnold and a red-zone drought. Brady calls it Darnold's first true "stinker" as a Seahawk, noting that none of the INTs were flukes, while Jacson credits a defense that "played its balls off" despite brutal field position. The trio discuss the seriousness of rookie guard Gray Zabel's knee injury, the need for Kubiak to scheme around an unstable interior line, and Darnold's growing turnover trend (now 14 on the year). Mitch welcomes back CBS College Football Analyst Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a chaotic Week 12 in college football — starting with Rick's victory lap on his perfectly predicted Penn State cover. From there, the guys dive into a jam-packed headline wheel: Lane Kiffin's status as the hottest name on the coaching carousel (and why Rick believes he'll land at Florida), Georgia's dominance over Texas, Oklahoma's big win in Tuscaloosa, Texas A&M's shocking 30–3 comeback, and the SEC's suddenly muddled playoff picture. Mitch revisits Episode Zero — the never-meant-to-be-public "exhibition game" that quietly launched Mitch Unfiltered back in 2018. What begins as a joke about their faux–"Fool in the Rain" theme song turns into a hilarious, chaotic retelling of the infamous team-bus-fire in Auburn, complete with blown tires, smoke pouring into the cabin, players stampeding into a ditch, and the bus erupting in flames seconds after everyone escaped.   GUESTS   Brady Henderson | Seahawks Insider, ESPN Jacson Bevens | Writer, Cigar Thoughts Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Jason Hamilton | Former/Original Co-host of Mitch Unfiltered, UW Basketball Analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Four Picks, One Big Contract, and a Gordon Lightfoot Birthday — Episode 358 Runs the Emotional Gauntlet 15:05 | BEAT THE BOYS - Register at MitchUnfiltered.com 20:29 | Bad Clock, Bad Knees, and Bad Ballots: Seahawks Fall Short While Cal Raleigh Gets Robbed in the AL MVP Race 37:09 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Four Picks, One Chance: Seahawks Fall to Rams but Defense Shines Bright 55:28 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Lane Kiffin Heat Check, SEC Bedlam & 300-Yard Burrito Winners — Neuheisel Goes Deep 1:20:56 | GUEST: Jason Hamilton EPISODE ZERO | Flashback | Before Episode 1: The Bus Fire, the Scentsy Pooh Era, and the Birth of Mitch Unfiltered 1:41:17 | Other Stuff Segment: Julio Rodríguez finishes 6th in AL MVP voting and makes first-team All-MLB, Julio's slow first half vs red-hot second half and fans overreacting, Julio's contract MVP/top-10 voting escalators, Shohei Ohtani's unanimous NL MVP and historic MVP + championship combo, Clippers fan jukes arena security during game and heckle about Clippers' defense, No. 1 national hoops recruit Tyran Stokes transferring to Rainier Beach High School, BYU's Kennard Davis Jr arrested on suspicion of DUI near campus, Patrick Beverley arrested on family-assault charge in Texas, Percy Harvin's Gainesville home catching fire (no serious injuries reported), United Airlines flight attendant found 10x over in-flight alcohol limit on SFO–London route, Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale announcing retirement, Bin Laden raid SEAL Robert O'Neill suing two podcasters for $25 million over "lied about the shot" claims RIPs: Kenny Easley – Seahawks Hall of Fame safety, "The Enforcer."

Jack Molinas was once one of basketball's brightest stars — a 6'6" Ivy League prodigy with movie-star charisma and a gambler's soul. From the playgrounds of New York City to an NBA All-Star, he was living live... until the bets caught up with him. Suspended for wagering on his own team, Molinas reinvented himself as a lawyer — only to become the criminal mastermind behind the 1961 college point-shaving scandal that rocked the sport. After prison, he resurfaced in Los Angeles chasing fame, fortune, and the wrong crowd. In 1975, his story ended like a Hollywood noir — gunned down outside his hillside home. In this episode, we detial the arc of a man who blurred the line between genius and corruption and brought down dozens of college athletes in the process.

That 1999 playoff shot with 8 tenths of a second left made Allan Houston a New York Knicks legend. But the man behind that iconic moment is so much more than a clutch shooter. In this raw conversation, the NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist opens up about growing up as the son of pioneering coach Wade Houston, battling career-ending injuries, and his journey from Madison Square Garden to mentoring the next generation. Allan shares his FISLL principles—Faith, Integrity, Sacrifice, Leadership, and Legacy—and why he believes legacy isn't something you look back on, it's something you're writing right now. As a father of seven and chaplain for the Knicks, Allan reveals what it really takes to keep family at the center when the world pulls you in every direction, the moment his faith became his own at 16, and the unspoken pressures of life under the brightest lights in basketball. What You'll Hear: The real story behind THAT Miami shot and what happened the next day Why his father almost made him stay at Louisville instead of playing for him at Tennessee How 90s basketball compares to today's game Navigating the disappointment when your body stops cooperating with your will Why "legacy is a verb" and what that means for your life right now This isn't just a basketball story, it's about preparing for your moment, finding faith when self-belief isn't enough, and understanding that true greatness comes from what you give back.

On this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with one of the greatest to ever play the game, NBA legend Oscar Robertson. Known as “The Big O,” Oscar is a 12x NBA All-Star, league MVP, and the man who forever changed free agency in professional basketball. He shares his journey from growing up on a farm to leading the first all-Black state championship team in Indiana, dominating college basketball, and ultimately leaving an unmatched legacy on and off the court.Oscar and Jimmy dive deep into how the NBA has evolved—from grueling 47-minute nights in his era to today's massive supermax contracts and load management culture. They talk about how player salaries skyrocketed because of trailblazers like him, what it takes for a team to become a champion, and whether the modern game has become too soft. He also shares his perspective on GOAT debates, his favorite players to watch in today's league, and what it meant to win gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics alongside fellow legends.This powerful conversation is a rare chance to hear directly from one of basketball's all-time greats.

This is Alex Heath, your Thursday episode guest host and deputy editor at The Verge. Today I'm joined by Hayden Field, The Verge's new senior AI reporter to talk about the AI talent wars and why some researchers are suddenly getting traded like their NBA superstars. Both Hayden and I have been reporting on this for the past several weeks to get a sense of much these companies are paying for top talent, why Big Tech firms like Google are opting to hire instead of acquire, and what it means that some of the most sought-after AI experts in the world are no longer motivated by money alone.  Links:  OpenAI's Windsurf deal is off — and Windsurf's CEO is going to Google | Verge Mark Zuckerberg promises you can trust him with superintelligent AI | Verge Meta is trying to win the AI race with money — but not everyone can be bought | Verge Meta says it's winning the talent war with OpenAI | Command Line Google gets its swag back | Command Line The AI talent wars are just getting started | Command Line Meta tried to buy Safe Superintelligence, hired CEO Daniel Gross instead | CNBC Apple loses top AI models executive to Meta's hiring spree | Bloomberg Meta's AI recruiting campaign finds a new target | Wired Anthropic hires back two coding AI leaders From Anysphere | The Information Credits: Decoder is a production of The Verge and part of the Vox Media Podcast Network.
