In this quick reaction episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan dive headfirst into the NBA's $100,000 fine against the Indiana Pacers for violating the Player Participation Policy in the Feb. 3 home loss to the Utah Jazz. Pascal Siakam was rested on the second night of a back-to-back, with other starters sidelined—despite the league's investigation (including an independent physician) concluding they could have played under reduced minutes. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver didn't hold back: “Overt behavior like this that prioritizes draft position over winning undermines the foundation of NBA competition and we will respond accordingly to any further actions that compromise the integrity of our games.” We break down the fine, Silver's pointed statement, and the glaring hypocrisy—why hammer load management/rest when the league turns a blind eye to foul-baiting stars like Jalen Brunson and SGA, or reckless/dirty play from Draymond Green and Lu Dort that actually endangers players? We get into all of it and tease a little bit around the All-Star weekend ahead. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

First Take resumes with the Drake Maye dilemma. He racked up the 3rd worst QBR in a playoff run ever (min. 3 starts).

The hosts unpack the critical distinction between Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) and Small for Gestational Age (SGA), highlighting how the "decay of information" in the NICU can lead clinicians to overlook early risk factors as babies grow. They discuss the study's alarming findings regarding the six-fold increased risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) in SGA infants and the importance of maintaining a comprehensive medical history throughout a patient's stay.----Care of neonates following in-utero growth restriction: A prospective cohort study exploring neonatal morbidity.

The crew breaks down why NBA All-Star Weekend never lives up to the hype, debates replacements like Kawhi Leonard and Brandon Ingram, and dives into the strange math behind All-Star selections. Things spiral into a hilarious deep dive on Kevin Willis' absurdly long career, old-head durability, and whether today's NBA still has real enforcers after the “Jive at the Hive” incident._____________________________________________________All-Star Weekend is here… and the crew isn't buying the hype. This episode kicks off with a blunt assessment of why the NBA All-Star Game has become more spectacle than competition, and whether any part of the weekend still feels must-watch. From there, the conversation turns to the new All-Star tournament format, roster construction, and replacement selections — including Kawhi Leonard stepping in for SGA and Brandon Ingram taking Steph Curry's spot.The group debates whether All-Star voting actually reflects the best players, how much fan voting skews results, and why being a “starter” ultimately doesn't matter at all historically. A casual stat drop turns into a full-blown Kevin Willis appreciation segment, uncovering one of the longest, strangest, and most under-respected careers in NBA history — including MVP-vote confusion, insane durability, and playing into his mid-40s.The episode wraps with a look at the Hornets' surprising run, the Bulls' eternal play-in destiny, and a breakdown of the on-court fight dubbed the “Jive at the Hive.” The crew debates whether Isaiah Stewart is the NBA's last true enforcer and why today's league feels fundamentally different from the old-school era.Funny, chaotic, and extremely on-brand.__________________________________________________________00:00 – All-Star Weekend fatigue01:14 – Why nobody really cares about the All-Star Game02:20 – New tournament format explained04:30 – All-Star rosters & replacements05:20 – LeBron, legacy, and why starting doesn't matter06:05 – Insane LeBron longevity stat07:00 – Kevin Willis enters the chat08:50 – Guessing Kevin Willis' teams (very badly)10:45 – MVP voting confusion

On today’s FRESH NEW PODCAST, host Dave Wager opens with 1 Corinthians 12:26, a reminder that the Body of Christ is connected, when one member suffers, we suffer together. His guest is Michael Johnson, president of Slavic Gospel Association, who also brings a strong communications background to the role. Michael began his career in international advertising (1986–1995) as an account manager and supervisor serving major consumer brands, then moved into nonprofit agency leadership at KMA Direct Communications and Douglas Shaw and Associates, serving as Senior Vice President for 11 years before rejoining SGA. In this conversation, that blend shows up clearly, he's telling the story of gospel work with clarity, history, and real-world outcomes, while emphasizing that the mission stays rooted in faithful local churches. Michael walks listeners through SGA's roots and purpose. Founded in 1934 by Peter Deyneka, the organization began by supporting believers behind the Iron Curtain through covert Bible distribution and Christian radio partnerships, strengthening Christians who often had to listen in secret at great personal risk. Today, the focus is still the same at its core, equipping local churches instead of sending western missionaries, with a network that includes thousands of evangelical Baptist congregations across the former Soviet region. Michael notes he is building on the biblical and ministry foundation laid by Peter Deyneka and Bob Provost, with Bob continuing to advise as President Emeritus. As the discussion turns to the war in Ukraine, the theme becomes practical compassion, the church as a visible refuge, including their “Heat and Hope” effort to resource churches with generators and supplies so they can serve as centers of warmth, help, and gospel hope during harsh winters.

On the latest Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn discusses the MVP race between Nikola Jokic and Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander that still has life despite Jokic's absence. He breaks down Jokic's chances to catch SGA, what's next for David Adelman and Nuggets post ASB, and previews tonight's matchup vs James Harden and Donovan Mitchell.

Before Sara Blakely became the founder of Spanx, her life looked nothing like a success story. She failed the LSAT twice, was told she was "too short" at a Disney audition, and spent seven years selling fax machines door to door—hearing no over and over again. What changed everything wasn't luck. It was how she treated rejection. Instead of seeing discomfort as failure, she treated it like training. In Part 2 of our Develop Your Voice Impact series, Krista Donargo, SGA unpacks how Blakely learned to fail forward, show up before things felt polished, and turn a scrappy idea into a billion-dollar brand without investors, a roadmap, or industry experience. From there, we zoom out to a skill every leader needs but few are ever taught: storytelling. Storytelling isn't fluff—it's a leadership tool. Stories activate emotion and logic, reduce resistance to change, and help people trust, understand, and follow your ideas. Whether you're leading a team, speaking on stage, guiding clients, or showing up online, how you communicate matters just as much as what you're saying. This is exactly the work we do inside our Voice of Impact Mini Intensives, to help leaders identify the stories they need to tell, shape them with intention, and deliver them with confidence, clarity, and authority. These high-touch intensives are designed to help your voice match the level of leadership you're stepping into—without scripts, gimmicks, or overproduction. If you've ever struggled to get people to understand, trust, or act on your ideas, this episode will change how you think about communication—and what's possible when you learn to use your voice with intention. Because growth doesn't require perfection. It requires conviction, connection, and the willingness to be uncomfortable long before the results show up.

In the first matchup of the season with the defending NBA champion OKC Thunder, the Nuggets faltered and lost 121-111. SGA and Cason Wallace were the biggest thorns in the Nuggets side.

How much credit should Murray get for keeping the Nuggets afloat when Jokic did not play for most of January? Vance Joseph and Davis Webb have officially been shutout of the head coaching cycle as the final two jobs have been filled. Does it feel like Vance can't catch a break and is there something about what happened with him as the head coach in Denver that's making teams reluctant to hire him?

The NBA isn't “American property” anymore — and this year's All-Star voting made that impossible to ignore. Ric Bucher breaks down why the top fan vote-getters being international stars isn't a problem… it's the point. But there's a twist: the players' vote tells a very different story than the fans and media, raising an uncomfortable question about who the league's real hierarchy respects.Then: Ric takes aim at the “free throw merchant” label on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, previews the new All-Star format (Americans vs. foreigners), and explains why it might finally bring competitive juice back to All-Star weekend.And in a hard left turn into culture + business: Ric calls out the optics of Nike/LeBron's MLK Day shoe release, and closes with a look at Jeanie Buss, the Buss family, and the future of the Lakers, including the resentment over the Bronny roster spot and why Steve Ballmer's financial advantage may have forced Jeanie's hand.Time Stamps00:00 “Cooking with gas” + show intro00:41 Ric announces upcoming book on being coachable01:41 NBA → “IBA”: the league's global takeover is complete02:19 All-Star vote shocker: Luka/Giannis/Jokic lead — and fans don't care where you're from03:07 Deni Avdija leapfrogs Anthony Edwards: how did that happen?04:34 Why the league changed voting rules after Zaza Pachulia05:08 Ric's theory: Ant's off-court noise may be costing him votes06:40 Players vs fans/media: who actually respects which stars?08:45 SGA isn't a “free throw merchant” — blame the whistle, not the scorer10:07 New All-Star format: Americans vs foreigners — and why internationals may have something to prove12:41 Social media's “everything is debatable” disease + Ric's contrarian code13:39 Nike + LeBron MLK shoe: “sounds wrong” and gets worse the more you explain it16:41 The real lesson: stars need advisors who say “no”20:04 Jeanie Buss + Lakers sale strategy: what's new (and what isn't)21:12 The Bronny favor and why some Lakers voices feel unappreciated26:14 Ballmer's money changed the Lakers' reality — and Jeanie's endgame27:50 Wrap-up + what Ric might cover next (Raptors/Warriors locker rooms)#OnTheBall #RicBucher #NBA #AllStar #LukaDoncic #GiannisAntetokounmpo #NikolaJokic #AnthonyEdwards #DeniAvdija #ShaiGilgeousAlexander #VictorWembanyama #LeBronJames #Nike #MLKDay #Lakers #JeanieBuss #BronnyJames #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Nikola Jokic goes down with a knee injury — and suddenly the volume spikes to kill the NBA's 65-game minimum for MVP and All-NBA eligibility. Coincidence? Or the latest example of the league (and its loudest voices) trying to rewrite the definition of greatness in real time?In the first On The Ball episode of 2026, Ric Bucher explains why the 65-game rule shouldn't be rescinded just because a superstar might miss out. Awards aren't about who we think should win based on peak moments, reputation, or “what he'd do if healthy.” They're about who actually delivered over a full season — and availability has always been part of the job.Ric revisits why the rule was created (hello, load management), why voters needed a clear benchmark, and why removing it would encourage exactly what fans hate: rewarding partial seasons while pretending it's the same as dominance over 82 games. He also calls out the shifting standards in NBA media, the growing subjectivity of awards voting, and the obsession with making everything “perfect” — even when perfection creates new injustices.Plus: Ric makes the case that we should be expanding eligibility rules, creating one to deem who is eligible to be an All-Star.Timestamps 00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” / welcome to On The Ball 00:31 — Ric's platforms + book tease: the value of being coachable 01:32 — First pod of 2026: thank you + what's changing the show today 02:03 — The new flashpoint: NBA's 65-game rule + Jokic injury fallout 02:55 — Jokic vs SGA: how the MVP race shifts 03:16 — Why Ric disagrees with eliminating the rule 04:12 — Why the NBA instituted 65 games: load management + voter clarity 05:07 — The voting problem: who has ballots now (and why it matters) 06:35 — Why 65 games is “etched in stone” 07:23 — The old standard: playing 82 used to be the flex 08:03 — “Perfect” officiating vs reality: the replay obsession analogy 09:20 — The hard truth: injustice happens — that's sports (and life) 10:08 — Injuries, modern training, and why the real issue isn't awards 11:07 — Why changing awards rules dodges the real problem 12:32 — Supermax + health: should durability matter? 14:02 — Awards aren't for “who we think”: they're for who proved it 14:40 — The Bill Walton precedent: MVP with 58 games (and the controversy) 16:45 — The fear: rewarding stars for half-seasons 17:26 — Standards eroding: media, mentorship, and the “old head” dilemma 20:28 — Social media pedestal culture + rule changes for entertainment 21:25 — Why removing 65 games diminishes awards 22:12 — Ric's counter: eligibility rules for All-Star voting instead 22:52 — LeBron + All-Star weekend: honor him, don't gift him a spot 25:05 — Emotional policy-making is bad policy 25:47 — What's next: boosting competition, addressing tanking 26:54 — Outro#NBA #NikolaJokic #MVP #AllNBA #LoadManagement #NBAMedia #OnTheBall #RicBucher #BasketballPodcast #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

This week, we begin looking back on some of the most moving moments shared on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio in 2025:          Hope & Nagy have been called by God to live in some very difficult places. They were serving Him in Libya when civil war broke out; they stayed and thrived under the Lord's protection. Then they heard the Lord call them to a new and equally-challenging land.          Jerry Mattix has been banned twice from entering Türkiye, once in 2013 and again earlier this year. Jerry knows God is able to do His work among Turkish people without him in the country.          Nathan and Kari were raised differently, yet the Lord called them to Himself, and to missions, together. In South Asia, they are seeing the gospel on fire, not waiting for foreign missionaries but moving forward through the gospel fervor of national Christians.          John Samara knows the high cost of serving Christ in a place like Syria. He grew up there and continues to serve persecuted Christians in the Middle East and North Africa through Ananias House.          Eric Mock, from Slavic Gospel Association, shares how war between Russia and Ukraine has actually accelerated SGA's ministry as they provide aid and share the gospel with hundreds of thousands of people.          Teaching students in the UK and around the world, Dr. Michael Reeves has a passion for strengthening the faith of persecuted Christians in hostile and restricted nations. He served as a missionary on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan.          Ty Scott, leader of VOM's work in east and southern Africa, shares about Christians living in a country that has never been discussed on VOM Radio until this year — Comoros. He also shared how VOM handles Bible distribution in Africa.          Author of the book, Inside Afghanistan, John Weaver, shares what it looks like to be a Christian in Afghanistan today. Believers must carefully plant gospel seeds and seek out people of peace.          Abraham & Sara minister to Muslim refugees in the Middle East who are open to the gospel. They see the hunger to know Jesus, and the Lord is revealing Himself to these refugees through dreams, visions, and the love of Christ, as seen in the example of Abraham, Sara, and their team.
