This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comRogue Bogues podcasters (and former NBA professionals) Andrew Bogut and Mike Procopio are here for the playoffs! We start with the elevated physicality of Warriors-Rockets and whether Amen Thompson is at fault for Jimmy Butler's injury. From there, we're looking back on situations as wide ranging as when Draymond Green kicked Steven Adams in the nuts in 2016, all the way to whether the Warriors tried to trade Steph Curry for our humble podcast guest (not Procoprio) in 2012. Topics include but aren't limited to…* Who's at fault for Jimmy Butler getting injured?* Did Ime Udoka make a mistake by using his move of putting Alperen Şengün on Moses Moody two weeks before the season ended?* Does Bogut think that Draymond Green really tried to kick Steven Adams in the balls back in the 2016 WCF?* What's up with Steve Kerr scolding the Houston crowd for chanting “Fuck Draymond”?* Was Evan Mobley the right choice for DPOY?* We are not fans of how Jonathan Kuminga's been playing* Our theories on why the Mavericks did their disastrous Luka Dončić trade* Would Pro take a bunch of money to do the Luka trade if ownership demanded * How Andrew feels about Mavericks president Rick Welts bringing up his name when trying to justify the infamous trade* Andrew swears that the Milwaukee Bucks had the option of taking Steph Curry instead of Monta Ellis in that 2012 trade* Will Andrew ever coach an NBA team?
In this episode, we discuss the Mavs' 120-106 victory over the Sacramento Kings in 9/10 game of the Play-In Tournament to advance to the second Play-In game against the Memphis Grizzlies for a chance to make the 2025 NBA Playoffs as the 8th seed. We talk about Klay Thompson's inspiring 23-point performance, exorcising his demons of past Play-In games. We also discuss Anthony Davis' up-and-down performance, in which he finished with 27 points and 9 rebounds. We also talk about the defensive frontline of Davis and Dereck Lively and how that might stack up against Memphis' front court of Zach Edey and Jaren Jackson Jr. We then pivot to talking about the closed door media event held by the Mavs in which Nico Harrison and CEO Rick Welts addressed select members of the media with cameras prohibited. It was an embarrassing moment and yet another PR disaster in which Harrison still could not properly justify his bizarre decision to trade Luka Dončić to the Lakers two months ago. We talk about how this might be the first signs that Mavs Governor Patrick Dumont may be realizing the scale of the crisis Harrison created for his franchise.

Not many people who never laced up and stepped between the lines have had as big an impact on the NBA as RICK WELTS. The longtime executive, who has been associated with the league in one way or another for half a century, sat down with Point Forward hosts ANDRE IGUODALA and EVAN TURNER for an interview recorded during All-Star Weekend – an event he was instrumental in creating – to share his wealth of wisdom. Welts talked about his earliest days with the Seattle Supersonics in the 1970s, moving to the league office to reshape the league's image in the ‘80s, what it was like working for David Stern, the origins of the Dream Team, his role in evolving the Golden State Warriors from cellar dwellers to a dynasty, and plenty more. If you want to hear how a great business mind ideates, navigates challenges, and evolves – look no further. Plus, before sitting down with Rick, the guys talk about Nick Nurse's time in Toronto coming to an end, players that end up in “Duke jail,” Ohio State quarterbacks, the S2 Cognition Test, and whether or not Usher should headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the media possibilities being pondered by the Golden State Warriors. The team's president, Rick Welts, said the franchise that's opening a new arena in San Francisco is turning its attention toward content. Welts wonders what the team can create and distribute, and on what medium, if it can't show actual games. The ideas go beyond the Warriors as the new arena, the Chase Center, makes the franchise a live event production company. Also discussed is the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network dispute between the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles, who according to an arbitration panel must pay the former tens of millions more in broadcast rights fees. Also talked about is the XFL's television deals with Fox Sports and ESPN. Hosts: Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams Producer: Madena Parwana
NBA Creative Director (former), Gameplan Creative CEO and Sports Design Trendsetter, Tom O'Grady. Tom was born and raised in Chicago and graduated with a degree in Design, Marketing and Visual Communications from Columbia College Chicago in 1981. We talk about his childhood memories and the large influence that sport had on him and his family. During the 1980s, Tom worked as an ad agency art director on the McDonald’s business. Simultaneously, McDonald’s began to devote resources to sports marketing. This was the perfect opportunity for Tom – he combined his love of sports with his passion for design. He met and worked with Michael Jordan on the memorable Large fries for “Small Fries” ad campaign and also contributed design work to the inaugural McDonald’s Open later that same year (1987). Judy Shoemaker was the agency account director that Tom worked with on the McDonald’s Open project. In 1988, she accepted the role of Vice President, Marketing, with NBA Properties. Two years later, Judy began to recruit Tom to join her at the NBA. Commissioner David Stern named Tom O’Grady the league’s first Creative Director in 1990. Tom discusses the process that led him to leave Chicago and take up residence in New York. We discuss the impact that well-known designer, Alexander Julian, had on the aesthetics of the expansion Charlotte Hornets (1989 season). To that point, equipment managers were largely responsible for their team’s uniform design (in concert with Medalist Sand-Knit). Tom talks about how he built the NBA’s creative services team, recruiting designers who were comfortable with the explosion in graphic design software of the early 1990s. Tom was tasked with the creative direction for The Dream Team (1992 Olympic Games). He shares inside stories on how the now-iconic photos were created during the 1992 NBA season. Tom was responsible for the rebrand of the Phoenix Suns (1993 season). He met with then-team president, Jerry Colangelo, and the Suns’ ownership group. We do a deep dive on the creative process. That same season, Phoenix celebrated its silver anniversary (25th season) in the NBA, Charles Barkley joined the team and the Suns met Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the 1993 NBA Finals. A fascinating aspect of our conversation relates to design considerations the NBA factored in to its television broadcasts. For example, when the league received team prototypes, they would broadcast test the new uniforms at the New Jersey Nets’ home arena (The Meadowlands), to ensure colors and numbers would “read”. 1995 was a big year for the NBA and Tom. He oversaw the launch of the NBA.com website and was also vital in the Atlanta Hawks’ new logo – a hawk in flight, its claws clutching a basketball. Further, two expansion teams – the Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies – were set to enter the league for the 1996 season. Tom was responsible for the brand identity creation of the franchises. In a future episode of the show, Tom will return to discuss (in-depth) the Raptors / Grizzlies origin story, plus, the iconic 1995 and 1996 NBA All-Star Weekend designs. Our discussion also includes the near-rebrand from the New Jersey Nets to the New Jersey Swamp Dragons. We talk about Zach Lowe‘s excellent ESPN piece that detailed the proposed identity change. We round out the episode by talking about Tom’s all-time favourite NBA uniforms, his crucial role as brand architect for the WNBA’s launch in 1997. All this and plenty more in one of the best conversations I’ve had yet. Topics / links discussed (include): * A would-be secondary logo for the Chicago Bulls? * The rebranded Phoenix Suns uniform (debuted in 1993 season) * 1995 and 1996 NBA All-Star Weekend * What if?! The Nets were almost the New Jersey Swamp Dragons!

Professional bowl Anthony Pepe, who is openly gay and came out publicly in 2015, said in a Facebook post that he feels lucky to be gay. "When it's all said and done, it wasn't a choice," Pepe said, "I just got damn lucky." We talk about the feeling of isolation as a gay youth and the incredible freedom gay adults can feel as they venture to college and beyond. If only we could show our 14-year-old selves what life if like as an out and proud gay person, we could have felt a lot less heartache. Speaking of lucky to be gay, two openly gay men in the NBA and WNBA are succeeding in front offices. Rick Welts and Curt Miller have seen success and are being handed more responsibility in the wake of some positive movement for their teams and their careers. If there is so much homophobia in basketball, why are these two men succeeding so well? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
