The High and Low Basketball Show is back!Host Ike Amaechi returns with Ugo, Mitch Orsatti, Steven Leslie, and Sean Khan to break down the state of the NBA after a long hiatus. The crew dives straight into the deep end — debating who's the real face of the league in 2025: Luka? Shai? Wemby? Ant-Man? Or has the NBA finally outgrown the idea of one defining superstar?Then, Ike leads the panel through a no-holds-barred Hard Truths segment — confronting the uncomfortable realities NBA fans don't always want to hear, including why the U.S. might not be the center of the basketball universe anymore.And finally, they unpack the “noise” — how the NBA became louder than ever online, yet somehow lost the attention of fans who actually used to watch.Also, check out brand new High and Low merch at vonnabrahamm.com/store, and subscribe to the High and Low Retrospective YouTube channel for deep dives into the TV, film, and music that shaped the culture.Music for this episode is by Lyve of the Enjoy Music Group and Sonny Rocwell of The Goodness.

Le divorce entre Ja Morant et les Memphis Grizzlies semble bien acté. Après avoir été suspendu un match par sa franchise après des déclarations et un « comportement préjudiciable à l'équipe », le meneur All-Star a avoué ne plus prendre de plaisir à jouer au basket. Depuis, les rumeurs vont bon train : Memphis, doit-il se séparer de Ja Morant ?À l'Est, Philadelphie fait sensation en trustant la première place de la conférence. Si peu d'observateurs les voyaient à cette place avant le début de la saison, est-ce que les Sixers peuvent poursuivre sur cette bonne dynamique, alors qu'ils devront pleinement réintégrer Joel Embiid et Paul George dans leur rotation.Enfin, le Thunder est déjà premier de la NBA, seule équipe encore invaincue après sept matchs.

Focus sur le Thunder, la franchise la plus excitante du moment. Porté par un Shai Gilgeous-Alexander plus fort que jamais, un Chet Holmgren déjà dominant des deux côtés du terrain et un collectif jeune,  le Thunder impressionne toute la NBA.Mais jusqu'où cette équipe peut-elle aller ? Peut-elle réellement viser le record mythique des 73 victoires des Golden State Warriors version 2015-2016 ?Après une saison déjà brillante, les hommes de Mark Daigneault semblent avoir encore franchi un cap. Entre la domination de Shai Gilgeous-Alexander , la profondeur du banc et une défense en béton, OKC coche toutes les cases. Peuvent-ils faire le back-to-back ?  Dans la partie historique, retour sur la saison 2015-2016 des Warriors.  Et pour conclure : le quizz de Basket Time, spécial Thunder !Avec Pierre Dorian, Stephen Brun, Fred Weis et Félix GaboryProduction : Théo Rodriguez  Réalisation : Kevin Paugam

Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol ou encore Tony Parker, des joueurs étrangers qui ont marqué l'histoire de la NBA. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander peut-il dépasser ces joueurs là ? 

The guys discuss the first week of the NBA season, players that can take a leap, the league's latest gambling controversy, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander being the best player in the world (on form), Nikola Jokic's triple double streak, the ratings and more.

On The Ball with Ric Bucher delivers sharp, no-nonsense NBA analysis from veteran insider Ric Bucher (FS1, Fox Sports Radio) on the United WeCast Network. In this episode, Ric examines how the NBA's entertainment engine shapes today's game and player development, contrasting it with EuroLeague and international club systems. He spotlights Pat Riley's shift toward international talent with the Miami Heat, why European training (movement, passing, team concepts) is closing the gap, and how global stars like Nikola Jokić, Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Victor Wembanyama are redefining MVP conversations.Ric then zooms into on-court problem solving: why scorers must also be playmakers, using Anthony Edwards' struggles vs. a box-and-one as a case study, and why teams like the Rockets (even with Kevin Durant) need a true table-setter. He breaks down Ime Udoka's blueprint for maximizing KD (pinch-post touches, free-throw-line catches), and offers practical context on early-season rotations and experimentation—citing the Warriors, Steve Kerr, and how constraints from sports science impact lineups. If you want basketball talk that connects NBA strategy, international hoops, and player development—with clear takeaways you won't hear elsewhere—subscribe and follow @RicBucher for weekly episodes.

(00:00-24:53) – Query & Company opens on a Friday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing last night’s double overtime loss for the Indiana Pacers against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Gil's Arena GOES WILD After NBA Tip Off as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew return to the Arena and react to a show stopping night of NBA action featuring the potential game of the year as Kevin Durant fell to Shai Gilgeous Alexander & The Oklahoma City Thunder in his first game for the Houston Rockets and Steph Curry spoiled Luka Doncic's first season opener with the Los Angeles Lakers, proving the Lake Show may need LeBron James if they want to compete with the top of the NBA. They kick things off with the insane game between the Rockets & Thunder that ended in controversy and give their biggest takeaways from the show stopping action in the league's first game. They debate if SGA deserves more credit for his ability to bait even the greatest players in league history into committing fouls and discuss the Thunder's likelihood to repeat as NBA Champions before analyzing Kevin Durant's first game with the Rockets and breaking down if the team will run through him or Alpren Sengun as they operate without a traditional point guard. Next, they react to KD signing a new deal where the future NBA Hall of Famer took a $30M pay cut to remain with the Rockets for at least 2 more season and break down how his place atop the highest career earners in NBA History will shape the future of the league. They then give their first impressions of the LeBron-less Los Angeles Lakers as Luka Doncic fell to Steph Curry & The Golden State Warriors in his first season opener for the Lakers and debate if the team is already missing the King before battling over if people are already sleeping on Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and the Warriors dynasty. Finally, they react to the return of NBA on NBC featuring Michael Jordan and debate if the NBA's shift in media will be the final step to them taking over the sports world as America's #1 most watched sport.
