Drew Dinsick joins the show to break down his favorite NFL Free Agency signings. Plus, Nick and Drew draft their favorite NBA Championship picks. Nick shares his thoughts on Tua Tagovailoa signing with the Falcons.

The March 8, 1976, issue of Sports Illustrated featured Buffalo Braves star Bob McAdoo on the cover, captured in a striking close-up portrait by photographer Neil Leifer, holding the ball at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium under the headline "Hottest Shot in the Game: Buffalo's Bob McAdoo." Just one year removed from winning the 1975 NBA MVP award—his second straight scoring title at 34.1 PPG in 1974-75—McAdoo was still dominating as one of the league's premier scorers and rebounders, leading the Braves in a strong season and representing the peak of his individual brilliance in Buffalo. However, his tenure with the Braves ended abruptly that December when contract disputes and the team's unwillingness to meet his salary demands prompted a trade to the New York Knicks for center John Gianelli and cash. Injuries, including a persistent back issue and later more severe setbacks, began to erode his consistency despite continued high scoring. McAdoo then became a journeyman: traded to the Boston Celtics in 1979 (one season), then to the Detroit Pistons (waived in 1981 due to injuries), a brief stint with the New Jersey Nets, before landing with the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Eve 1981 in a low-key trade for a second-round pick and cash to bolster depth after Mitch Kupchak's injury. In L.A., he reinvented himself as a potent sixth man on the Showtime-era teams alongside Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy, contributing key scoring off the bench to help secure two NBA championships in 1982 and 1985 before concluding his NBA career. Named to the NBA's 75th anniversary team, the 6-10 McAdoo was a force in the NBA and one of it's most prolific scorers winning three scoring titles in succession and is the last player in the league to average 30 points and 15 rebounds per game in 1974. One of the most dominant players in NBA history was still at his peak in 1976, scoring 42 points for the Braves on December 7th of that year. But two days later he was traded to the Knicks and McAdoo tells us that's when he knew this game was actually a business. He remembers what a thrill it was to be on the cover of SI for the first and only time and he recalls how being named MVP is the ultimate prize… until you win an NBA Championship. He tells us how he came off the bench for the first time ever for Pat Riley's teams and while he didn't start most games, he certainly finished them. And he reminisces about meeting his childhood hero Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and what it his relationship was like with Kareem, Riley and Jerry West. One of the smoothest to ever do it in the NBA… Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo on the Past Our Prime podcast.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is the NBA's tanking crackdown really about the fans - or is it there a much darker reality? Mo Mooncey and 2x NBA Championship-winning coach Brendan Suhr break down all seven anti-tanking proposals discussed by Adam Silver and the 30 owners - and give every single one an honest grade.From draft lottery odds to flattening the picks, from rookie free agency to freezing odds at the trade deadline - Mo and Brendan pull apart each proposal and explain exactly why none of them will work. Plus, Mo makes his case for what really is the real driving force behind the sudden urgency to fix tanking - and why the league's bigger problems aren't getting the same attention.Then it's into the All-NBA debate. Who makes the first team? Is it SGA's MVP to lose? Is Wemby already a lock for Defensive Player of the Year for the next decade? And what's going on with the Houston Rockets?

Over a distinguished NBA and collegiate career, Shane Battier established himself as a scholar-athlete, All-American, leader, and philanthropist. Dubbed the "No-Stats All-Star" by Michael Lewis in a New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story, Shane is regarded as one of the most successful, albeit atypical, basketball players in history for using his leadership, lockdown defense, and intellect to win championships at every level. After graduating with honors from Duke University with two Final Four appearances, one national championship, two All-American awards, & Naismith and John Wooden National Player of the Year awards, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Battier in the 2001 NBA draft. Battier went on to be part of the back-to-back 2012 and 2013 NBA championship Miami Heat team and a USA Basketball Men's Senior national team member. He understands that champions are made when no one is looking and that attention to the often-unnoticed intangibles makes the difference in building a championship culture. In our conversation this week, John and Jerry unpack the highs and lows of Shane's remarkable journey, from his childhood and the role of his parents, to his high school and college days, to his introduction to the NBA, and finally his championship seasons. We also discuss his post basketball years, his struggles with the transition off the court, an dhow he has reinvented himself to become an advisor, speaker, and a better father and husband.  BOOK A SPEAKER: Interested in having John or one of our speaking team come to your school, club or coaching event?

Wade reflects on the Heat’s 2006 championship run ahead of its 20-year anniversary, remembering the comeback from 0–2, Pat Riley’s culture, and what it meant to learn how to win at the highest level. Off the court, Wade talks about being in full-time dad “Uber mode,” balancing travel with family, and the funny frustration of raising competitive kids. He shares how golf, photography, and even a quick movie cameo have filled his post-retirement life, plus a powerful reflection on a recent trip to Africa that reconnected him to his roots. The episode also mixes in NBA trade talk, Hall of Fame debates, and a hilarious dive into famous Mandela Effect misquotes, a classic blend of hoops, humor, and real life.

NBA champion Lamar Odom joins the show to reflect on his life story — from growing up in South Jamaica, Queens and becoming a top NBA draft pick, to winning championships with Kobe Bryant on the Lakers, navigating fame, addiction, and the pressures that came with his rise. Lamar opens up about the challenges he faced during the height of his career, his marriage to Khloé Kardashian, the 2015 incident in Nevada that nearly cost him his life, the strokes and medical aftermath he fought through, and how an ibogaine treatment helped him rebuild and reconnect with himself. We discuss childhood trauma, the start of addiction, the intensity of NBA life, loss, recovery, rebuilding relationships, and what he hopes others can take from his journey.

The Conference Finals are here! Between SGA, Jalen Brunson, Haliburton, and Ant, which player do you want to see win their first NBA Championship? Hate 'em or love 'em, the Knicks are good, and that's good for the NBA. Haliburton is going to give Brunson a lot of work and the depth of the Pacers bench and scoring in bunches will hurt the Knicks. On Oddball we are loud with our support of the Knicks… but secretly we think the Pacers have this in the bag. The Thunder-Timberwolves series will be the first time we see Ant Edwards take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the playoffs... Can the young wolf knock off the MVP?  The T-Wolves have flaws, but this series might be there for the taking. Can we trust Julius Randle? J-Dub vindicated himself after game 7, but Chet still has a lot to prove. Plus, people were so upset with Izzy's Cleveland rant that he decided to go on an apology tour.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
