And we get deep into the first two games of the Finals, with Rob and Rob both nominating Jaylen Brown as the early MVP, and Harper says he’s not surprised by this series so far because Boston doing what they do best by suffocating the Mavericks. And we’re all waiting for either Luka or Kyrie to take over a game or two and extend the series. Rob also weighs in on Shaq’s comments that he wasn’t the best player on the Lakers during their title runs, as he disagrees with the big fella, saying he was both the best and most dominant player on the floor. Dan Hurley also shot down an offer to coach the Lakers this week, leading Rob to reaffirm that JJ is going to be the hire, as he does not think Borrego is a good coach. And Rob feels like Caitlin Clark needs to earn her stripes in the WNBA before expecting a spot on the Olympic team, because as he goes through the roster of all-time greats that are playing, she just doesn’t stack up yet.

Quella del 9 dicembre 1977 a Los Angeles, più precisamente allo storico Forum di Inglewood, è una serata come un'altra di Regular Season. O meglio, dovrebbe esserlo, prima che la partita tra Rockets e Lakers si trasformi in un tragico turning point per la storia dell'NBA. Prima che un pugno, anzi Il Pugno, conosciuto da tutti come “The Punch”, tirato da Kermit Washington a Rudy Tomjanovich scriva una delle pagine più drammatiche della storia dello sport americano. “Non dimenticherò mai quel rumore. Un colpo sordo, come quello di un melone che viene scaraventato contro l'asfalto”.

Former Rockets Head Coach Rudy Tomjanovich joins the guys to talk Rockets!

This is a one of a kind podcast episode. Steve Fishman is a one of a kind trial attorney. Fishman has won some of the biggest verdicts in Michigan. He and I have handled and tried cases together and in this podcast episode, Steve Fishman and I share stories from some of the cases that we've handled together and more. Who is Steve Fishman? Some know him from his days playing basketball at the University of Michigan alongside Rudy Tomjanovich. Others from his "Mumford High School" days. He is a Detroit, Michigan legend. Steve Fishman's client roster reads like a "Who's Who" in Detroit. Many remember him from defending Demetrius Hollway, Chris Webber, Robert Traylor, Monica Conyers, former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway and Ben Wallace to name just a few. It took one line in a nationally covered trial for pundits, members of the public and lawyers everywhere to learn what we already knew in here in Michigan: Steve Fishman is a natural. What was the line? After Gerry Spence said, "I'm from Wyoming” to a jury, Steve Fishman got up, not missing a beat, and said, "I'm from Wyoming too … Wyoming and Curtis." It drew laughs, showed how relatable he was and endeared him to the jury and public immediately. That one line captivated the courtroom. But it wasn't a trick or a gimmick, Fishman is sincere, humorous, quick witted and has the ability to size up the room and capitalize on a moment like few others. And … there are no better cross examiners anywhere. Period. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Full disclosure, Fishman is one of my mentors and dear friends but he wouldn't be on this podcast just for those reasons. He's here because he really is that good.

During the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, the superb sports commentaries were full of Chinese romance, attracting attention of netizens. 在2020年东京奥运会期间，精湛的体育评论充满了中国式浪漫，吸引了网友的注意。To Yang Qian:除却君身三重雪，天下谁人配白衣。After a fierce competition, shooter Yang Qian, an athlete of generation Z, claimed the first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympics with a victory in women's 10m air rifle on July 24.经过激烈角逐，00后选手杨倩在7月24日的女子10米气步枪比赛中夺得东京奥运会首枚金牌。We praised her calm bravery on the field, and we were also fond of her ingenuous and adorable style. She represents a promising future. 我们赞扬她在场上的冷静勇敢，我们也喜欢她那独创而可爱的风格。她代表着一个充满希望的未来。To Sun Yiwen who claimed a gold medal in women's fencing individual:一剑光寒定九州。Sun Yiwen wins the first gold medal of women's fencing individual in Chinese history at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Summer Games on July 25.孙一文在7月25日的2020东京夏季奥运会上获得中国历史上第一枚女子击剑个人金牌。Leading by only one point in the last 12 seconds, Sun Yiwen outplayed the opponent with slick techniques and a good mentality. The last point of her game rewrites the history of the Chinese fencing team and makes her dream to be a cornerstone member of the team, come true.孙一文在最后12秒仅以一分领先，以流畅的技术和良好的心态成功击败了对手。她比赛中的最后一击改写了中国击剑队的历史，为队友打下了梦想的基石。"When I had to face the overtime, I told myself it's OK and I could make the match-winning point," said Sun. "I don't think too much about the results, and I just do as I have practiced so many times." 孙一文说“当我不得不进行加时赛的时候，我告诉自己没问题，我一定可以赢得比赛。对于比赛结果我没有想太多，我只是像平常练习了很多次一样。”To Chen Yuxi and Zhang Jiaqi who dominated the women's synchronized diving 10m platform:雏凤清于老凤声。 Chen Yuxi and Zhang Jiaqi dominated the women's synchronized diving 10m platform, winning the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Summer Games on July 27.陈芋汐和张家齐在女子双人10米跳台比赛中占据绝对优势，在7月27日的东京夏季奥运会上夺得金牌。Although both are generation Z (Chen is 15 and Zhang is 17), they continue writing the legend of Chinese diving. 虽然两人都是00后（陈15岁，张怡宁17岁），她们却续写了中国跳水传奇。"We have nothing to lose, and we are brave enough to face any challenges." They did achieve their goals and won applause from all over the world.“我们没有什么可失去的，我们有足够的勇气去面对任何挑战”。她们确实实现了自己的目标，也赢得了全世界的掌声。To Rowing — Women's Quadruple Sculls:一棹逍遥天地间。 The Chinese rowers safely bagged the women's quadruple sculls gold medal with a world best time of 6 minutes and 5.13 seconds on July 28.7月28日，中国赛艇队以6分5.13秒的世界最好成绩毫无悬念地包揽了女子四人划艇金牌。Chen Yunxia, Zhang Ling, Lyu Yang and Cui Xiaotong established a convincing lead before the final 500m and updated its Olympic best time set on home soil at the 2008 Olympic games. They achieved first place thanks to their perseverance, determination, confidence in each other, and the pursuit of the sport. 陈云霞、张灵、吕扬和崔晓桐在最后500米前拥有了令人佩服的领先优势，并更新了2008年奥运会在中国创下的奥运最佳成绩。她们凭借毅力、决心、对彼此的信心和对这项运动的追求，获得了第一名。To Pang Wei and Jiang Ranxin:一个是老骥伏枥志在千里，一个是旭日东升未来可期。One is like an old steed that lies in the stable yet still aspires to gallop thousands of miles.The other one is like the sunrise whose future is promising.Pang Wei and Jiang Ranxin won the 10m air pistol mixed team gold medal on July 27.庞伟和姜冉馨在7月27日获得10米气手枪混合团体金牌。"We are confident. For me, I see the first Olympic Games as a chance to develop myself, so I don't feel much pressure," said 21-year-old Jiang. Pang, who referred to Jiang as"niece" because he is 14 years older than Jiang, said he had firm belief in his partner. "We support and trust each other. Even before the match I knew she would be doing great, so I told myself I couldn't be too bad," said Pang.21岁的姜冉馨说：“对我来说，我认为第一届奥运会是发展自己的机会，所以我没有太大的压力，对自己有信心”。因为庞伟比姜冉馨大14岁，所以把她当作自己的侄女。他也非常相信自己的队友。庞伟说：“我们相互支持和信任。甚至在比赛之前，我就知道她会做得很好，所以我告诉自己，我不能太差”。To Ma Long:一个时代的开启不会轻易落下帷幕。漂亮的离场并不只是在巅峰退役，也有绝地求生，也有从零开始。你永远不要低估一颗冠军的心。The beginning of an era will not end easily. Departure not only means retirement at the top, but also to fight the impasse and start from the scratch. You should never underestimate the heart of a champion.Ma Long won the gold medal in the men's singles final of the table tennis competition against his teammate Fan Zhendong on July 30. 马龙在7月30日乒乓球比赛的男子单打决赛中战胜队友樊振东，夺得金牌。Against ages, against injuries, against all odds, Ma Long finally made it. "Never underestimate the heart of a champion." Former Houston Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich's famous quote has turned out to be true once again. 顶住年龄，伤病，困难的压力，马龙终于成功了。"永远不要低估冠军的心”。前休斯顿火箭队主教练鲁迪·托米亚诺维奇的名言再次成为现实。Ma, captain of the all-leading Chinese table tennis team, won back-to-back Olympic titles in the men's singles event after overcoming Fan Zhendong, also from China, on Friday. It was a feat that no male player has ever achieved before. "First, I have to keep a winning mentality. This is the most precious thing which is also the reason why this team offers huge support to me. I think I can continue to play and compete with those rivals," he said. 上周五，中国乒乓球队长马龙险胜队友樊振东，在男子单打比赛中夺得奥运冠军。这是一个前所未有的成就。马龙说：“首先还是自己能够保持住这样一个想赢的欲望，这点才是自己最可贵或者说球队给我最大的支持和原因。它们支撑我努力去和对手抗衡。”To Fan Zhendong:尽管今天依旧没能翻越马龙这座高山，但是也请樊振东回头望望，这一路走来，都是风景。Fan, although you didn't defeat Ma Long, who claimed gold medal in the competition, please look back and you'll see the sceneries along the way. Fan claimed the silver medal in the men's singles final of the table tennis. 樊振东在乒乓球男子单打决赛中获得银牌。He showed the audience his consummate skill and imperturbable mentality. Ma Long said the future of Chinese table tennis belongs to Fan. 樊振东向观众展示了他完美的技巧和不屈不挠的态度。马龙说，中国乒乓球的未来属于樊振东。 To Sun Yingsha:少年负壮气，奋烈自有时。 Sun Yingsha claimed the silver medal in the women's singles table tennis on July 26. 孙颖莎在7月26日的女子单打乒乓球比赛中获得银牌。To Xiao Ruoteng:胸有惊雷而面如平湖。Chinese gymnast Xiao Ruoteng compared himself to a vinyl record.中国体操运动员肖若腾把自己比作一个黑胶唱片。The 25-year-old man from China's capital Beijing has suffered from serious shoulder injuries which prevented him from practicing difficult movements, and he has spent a lot of time receiving medical treatment. Before the Tokyo Olympics, he received cortisone shots. "The most important occasion is coming. I will show the world the best of me," said Xiao.这位来自中国首都北京的25岁男子肩部严重受伤，无法练习高难度动作。他花了很多时间接受治疗。在东京奥运会之前，他打了止痛针。肖若腾说“最重要的时刻即将来临。我会向世界展示最好的我。”

During his 16-year NBA career, Robert Horry won a startling 7 NBA championships, more than any other player outside of the 1960s Celtics. In this episode, Robert speaks about the three coaches (Rudy Tomjanovich, Phil Jackson, and Gregg Popovich) who led these championship teams, in addition to the big games and critical plays that earned him the moniker "Big Shot Bob." Robert also speaks about growing up in rural Alabama, discussing some of the racial tensions and segregation around youth sports in Alabama, before playing for the University of Alabama. Now a Harvard-Westlake parent, Robert cites Wimp Sanderson of the University of Alabama, in addition to Tree Rollins and Otis Thorpe of the Houston Rockets, as profound teachers and mentors.

After briefly touching on the Rudy Tomjanovich hiring and "media week" for the Wolves, Derek and Chad take a trip down memory lane and explore the Wolves' deep past. From 1926-1987, they examine Harv & Marv's history, a failed attempt to bring the Utah Jazz to the Twin Cities, applying for an expansion franchise, and how Gordon Gund almost ruined it all.

On the repeated torture that is the life of an author; on convincing Rudy Tomjanovich to open up; on Bobby Knight's temper, Steve Kerr's decency and being confused for the Miami Heat mascot.

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame cases for Tracy McGrady, Chris Webber, Sidney Moncrief, Tim Hardaway and Rudy Tomjanovich are examined in the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast. Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch look at how McGrady's five-year peak compares to other NBA greats and whether his lack of longevity or lack of playoff success are major concerns. They talk about Webber's uncommon blend of skills and his years with the Fab Five at the University of Michigan and his NBA career and strong run with the Sacramento Kings. They also discuss how Moncrief and his 1980s Milwaukee Bucks have long been overlooked, despite him being a two-time Defensive Player of the Year. They dig into Hardaway's impressive career, his highlights with the fast-paced Run TMC Golden State Warriors and slow-down Miami Heat and how he rates among the other guards in the Hall of Fame. They also chat about Rudy Tomjanovich's years as a player and coach for the Houston Rockets, how NBA coaches are generally judged by the Hall of Fame, his two NBA championships and how The Punch unfortunately overshadows everything in his career.

We discuss Kermit Washington’s infamous punch that severely injured Rudy Tomjanovich in 1977 and the NBA’s fighting culture of the time in the latest edition of Over and Back’s Basketball Mysteries of the 1970s. We look at the evolution of the NBA from a rough-and-tumble game with lots of fouling and physical play in the 1950s into more of a finesse game, how early black players with often pigeonholed into limited enforcer-type roles, how fighting was often glamorized in the lower-profile ABA but demonized in the late 1970s NBA, how the racial dynamics involved affected fans’ views of fighting, famous stories of ABA and NBA fights (including fights involving Mel Daniels, Willis Reed, John Brisker, Cliff Hagan, Warren Jabali, and Wendell Ladner), an infamous Sports Illustrated profile (http://www.si.com/vault/1977/10/31/626402/nobody-but-nobody-is-going-to-hurt-my-teammates) just weeks before The Fight looking at NBA enforcers (featuring Washington, Maurice Lucas, Calvin Murphy, Dennis Awtrey, Bob Lanier and Darryl Dawkins), how Washington’s punch of Tomjanovich was portrayed in the media and became a national story, how race informed the response and possible punishment in that case, how The Punch hung over the heads of everyone involved for many years afterward.

Veteran broadcaster of more than 50 Michael Jordan rookie games (1984-85), Bill Hazen. Hazen previously appeared on the finale of our #NB85 series. However, that was an edited-down version, relating solely to the 1985 Chicago Bulls. This is the entire conversation, covering Bill's whole career, to date. Hazen was born and raised in Chicago. We briefly discuss the city's history of professional basketball; leading to the expansion Bulls' entry, in the NBA's 1966-67 season. Bill discusses his career in broadcasting. His journey began in Columbus, Indiana - working as a disc-jockey and producing commercials - before he landed "the break of a lifetime" and moved to Milwaukee, becoming Sports Director for WISN Radio. This also gave Bill the opportunity to call play-by-play for the Marquette Golden Eagles, surrounded by luminaries Al McGuire, Hank Raymonds and Rick Majerus. Later, Bill took a job as a sports broadcaster and talk-show host, at Houston's KTRH. As circumstance would have it, when the talk show was not on the air, the station broadcast Houston Rockets games. Bill then worked play-by-play on TV games, for the Rockets' late-1970s teams, calling names like Moses Malone, John Lucas and Rudy Tomjanovich, to name a few. You'll hear some amazing accounts of Michael Jordan's first season in the NBA. Hazen was in attendance at Angel Guardian Gym - the Bulls' practice facility for Jordan's rookie season - he watched Michael shake hands with new coach, Kevin Loughery, before training camp had even commenced. We reminisce about some of the great moments during Jordan's first season as a pro, including this remarkable piece of commentary that Bill exclaimed, in November, 1984. Another stellar piece of Bill's commentary, was later used in the iconic advertising campaign, 'America's Game / NBA Action: It's FANtastic'. We also discuss Bill's early use of computer technology to prepare for games and the dismantling of numerous personnel - coaches, executives and broadcasters - following the Bulls' 1985 season. In the mid-1990s, Bill worked for ESPN International, recording live audio to accompany 'Game of the Week' packages, distributed overseas. Also at this time, Bill called games for the NFL and produced live audio for the 1995 MLB World Series. We conclude our wide-ranging conversation, chatting about Bill's production company. The most prominent people mentioned in this episode, include: Michael Jordan, Kevin Loughery, Johnny Red Kerr, Paul Westhead, Orlando Woolridge, Jerry Sloan, Sidney Moncrief, Jawann Oldham, Dave Corzine, Rod Thorn & Vernon Maxwell.

Our latest episode discusses David Halberstam’s seminal book “The Breaks of The Game” documenting the world of the NBA and specifically Bill Walton, Dr. Jack Ramsay, Maurice Lucas and the rest of the 1970s Portland Trail Blazers. Taking a break from their Top 50 project, Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch are joined by basketball historian Curtis Harris (@ProHoopsHistory) and James (@NBAInjuryR3port) of the NBA Injury Report podcast. They talk about the changing power dynamics between players and management, how NBA quickly shifted from majority white to majority black league, the changing economics of the league and the struggles at the time, and how the changes within the league reflected a changing American society. They discuss the key personalities in the book, including Walton’s rise to stardom and downfall because of injuries, the intensity and stubbornness of Ramsay, the boundary-pushing and legendary toughness of Maurice Lucas, Kermit Washington’s incredible work ethic and how he was unfairly tarnished by “The Punch” on Rudy Tomjanovich, and Billy Ray Bates out-of-nowhere rise to become a brief NBA sensation, LaRue Martin, Mychal Thompson, Moses Malone, Marvin Barnes, and many more players. Also discussed are Halberstam’s writing and reporting style, his sometimes unfortunate portrayals of race, his deep nostalgia for NBA before bigger money came into play, his views on expansion, plus the history of the players union and the NBA on television. There’s a lot of great discussion packed in here, so be sure to check it out. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three-time NBA Champion and one of Houston's Top 10 Players of all-time, Mario Elie. We discuss Mario's incredible journey from New York's Power Memorial High School, through to becoming a three-time NBA Champion - a perfect example of hard work, determination and achievement. Many years before he joined the Golden State Warriors, Mario was teammates with future Hall of Famer, Chris Mullin. We reminisce about Mario's HS career and decision to play for American International College. He had a stellar run and was named Conference Rookie of the Year (1982), three-time All-American and led his division II team to the Elite Eight in the 1985 NCAA Tournament. He was inducted into AIC’s Hall of Fame in 2005, and earlier this year, had his #41 jersey retired. The Milwaukee Bucks selected Elie with pick 160 (7th round) in the 1985 NBA Draft. His first NBA game was more than five seasons later (Dec 28, 1990). In the interim, Mario played in numerous countries across Europe - Ireland, Argentina and Portugal, to name a few - further developing his game. He returned to home soil and played in developmental leagues across America, including the USBL, WBL & CBA (where he would become an All-Star). In December, 1990, Mario's NBA opportunity arrived, courtesy of then-76ers GM, Gene Shue. The countless miles of travel and perseverance paid off. After a brief stint with Philadelphia, Mario signed with Golden State, where he played alongside the famed 'Run TMC' (Hardaway, Richmond & Mullin). Two seasons later (1993), he was a Trail Blazer. We chat about the moment Mario found out he was traded to the Rockets, and deep dive into his career with Houston, where he played five seasons and won two NBA Championships. In the do-or-die Game 7 of the 1995 Western Conference Semi-Finals, he made one of the biggest shots in NBA history – affectionately known as the ‘Kiss of Death’. He shares the details of how that famous show of emotion, came to be. Prior to the (1999) lockout-shortened season, Mario signed as a free agent with San Antonio, where he won his third NBA title. He talks about his key role in Sean Elliott's Memorial Day Miracle and the leadership of Hall of Famer, David Robinson, and (future Hall of Famer) a young Tim Duncan. I even find a way to briefly talk about another teammate of Mario's, Australian legend, Andrew Gaze. Recently, the Houston Rockets celebrated the 20th anniversary of their back-to-back NBA Championships. Mario talks about that experience and the joy of re-connecting with many of his friends and former teammates, including Vernon Maxwell, Sam Cassell, Robert Horry, Clyde Drexler, Hakeem Olajuwon, Otis Thorpe, Kenny Smith, Chucky Brown, Rudy Tomjanovich and more. We round out the discussion, by chatting about Mario's coaching background. He has worked as an NBA assistant coach for the best part of ten years. He discusses those experiences, his future ambitions at the highest level and the ultimate moment of his career, to date.
