Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley open the second hour looking at some stat projections for Bo Nix’s sophomore season. The guys didn’t like ESPN’s quarter century team so they made their own Broncos-specific quarter century team. They get to #4 on the Daily Top 5: Hardest Sports Feats before they preview the Nuggets’ press conference that will introduce Nuggets Nation to their co-GM’s. What’s Trending? Russ’ delusions of grandeur, the Broncos’ new head nerd makes a bad first impression, Game 7 pulls in good ratings with a bad celebration, and justice may finally come for the Supersonics.
In the third hour, Dave Softy Mahler and Dick Fain chat with SuperSonics legend Lenny Wilkens about his new statue, the 1979 title, and hopeful Sonics return, then the guys discuss Cal Raleigh’s big home run numbers plus the Sounders in the Club World Cup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Svaldenis joins the podcast to reflect on a 13-year NBL career that took him from Bankstown to Sydney, Hobart, Adelaide, and Geelong—appearing in 299 games and carving out a legacy as one of the league's most consistent frontcourt battlers across the ‘80s and ‘90s. Svaldenis opens up about debuting as a teenager under Robbie Cadee, his breakout years in Hobart under Cal Bruton, and what it was like to be part of the original Sydney Kings merger. We also dig into some of his biggest games, toughest matchups, and the evolution of the NBL through the lens of a blue-collar big man who saw it all. Topics include:
NBA Champ and former Sonic, Jeff Green is back and he chatted with us about the upcoming Finals matchup between the Pacers and Thunder.

On this BONUS 'GO PACERS' EDITION of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present complete audio from a 25th anniversary commemoration of the Seattle Supersonics' one and only 1979 NBA World Championship. Panelists are the late John “J.J.” Johnson, a member of the championship team, plus the late ‘Voice of the Sonics' Bob Blackburn, as well as Greg Heberlein, the retired Seattle Times sportswriter who covered the team in 1979. This commemorative event took place in the McEachern Auditorium at the old Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) in Seattle's Montlake neighborhood on June 1, 2004, which was the actual the 25th anniversary of the championship. The 1979 trophy was displayed on stage near the podium, and remains a part of MOHAI's collection. The panel was part of a series produced and moderated by CASCADE OF HISTORY producer/host Feliks Banel when he was deputy director of MOHAI.

It's April 28th, 1975 and the best basketball player in the NBA plays in Buffalo. Bob McAdoo wins the MVP for the Buffalo Braves who are in the playoffs and taking on Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes and the Washington Bullets in a fierce series that would eventually go 7 games. One of the unsung heroes for the Braves is on the cover of Sports Illustrated from 50 years ago as he soars to the basket during game four of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The 6'6 forward had a standout college career for the Oklahoma Sooners where he was the schools 2nd all-time leading scorer and all-time leading rebounder at the time of his graduation. Playing for John McLeod at Oklahoma, Heard averaged 21.7 points and 12.5 rebounds per game in his senior year. Taken by the Supersonics in the 3rd round, Heard didn't do much in his first two years in Seattle before being traded to Chicago and then in 1973 to Buffalo… and it was there where his NBA career took off. Playing alongside McAdoo and Randy Smith, Heard did the hard work averaging a double-double in his two years and helping take the team to their first two playoff appearances… But after a successful 1974-75 season, Heard was shocked when he was dealt yet again… this time to Phoenix where he once again would play for head coach, John McLeod. The Suns were languishing in the West before Heard's arrival, but soon they took off… Playing in a league high 86 games, Heard once again averaged a double-double as the Suns made the playoffs and beat Seattle in 6 games and the defending champion Warriors in 7 with Heard once again averaging 14 points and 11 rebounds to advance to the '76 NBA Finals. Awaiting the Suns were the Celtics and with the series knotted at two games each, game 5 was played on the parquet floor in Boston… and what a game five it was. Some call it the greatest NBA playoff game ever played. In one of the craziest finishes of all-time, the Celtics took a 2-point lead with 1 second left to play in the 2nd overtime. That's when Gar Heard made the basketball version of The Shot Heard Round the World. A 20-footer over the outstretched hands of Don Nelson that hit nothing but the bottom of the net. On to the 3rd overtime it went where the luck of the Celtics Green finally prevailed and won the series in 6 games. But for one moment… one second to be more precise… Gar Heard made a shot of a lifetime. On the Past Our Prime podcast, Heard tells us all about the shot, and the technical foul Paul Westphal and the Suns took on purpose to help give them a shot… a shot Heard says was meant for him to take! Heard tells us how shocked he was to be dealt from cold and snowy Buffalo to the desert in Arizona in the middle of the 75-76 season and how Coach McLeod mentored him both in college and the pro's. Heard's career was more than just one miraculous shot and he tells us about the block he had on a young Keith Wilkes baseline jumper that helped knock off the Warriors and send the Suns to the Finals. A week after the Giants Bobby Thompson hit the Shot Heard Round the World in New York it's Gar Heard's turn to do it… this time in Boston. Just a few miles away from where the original Shot Heard Round the World took place two hundred years earlier in April of 1775. One of the greatest shots in NBA history and Heard tells us all about it on the Past Our Prime podcast. Listen and subscribe to the show for your weekly dose of sports history.

They suggest potential trade targets for the Mariners and emphasize the need for improvement in the team's offense and bullpen.

We open the bonus show this week with a great listener question, about which team made the best move in free agency. Rob says it was definitely Paul George to the Sixers, but B-Dog and Jenners both feel like you can't sleep on Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. And speaking of the Sixers, with them bringing back the black jerseys from the Iverson days, we talk about our favorite throwback NBA jerseys... and the Magic pinstripes, 90's Hornets and old school Supersonics looks all make our list. Rob thinks this trend of "raw dogging" a flight by doing nothing at all is psychotic, he can't juggle like Wemby after video of him has gone viral, and how much Kevin Bacon hated being "a regular person" as Rob reflects on the few perks he gets from being well known. And with Futurama coming back again this month, we talk about the TV shows that we'd love to see another season of, including The Wire, Boondocks and the Sopranos.

This week, we're talking about the man who built Starbucks, Howard Schultz. In addition to making burnt coffee famous and running for President in 2020, Schultz also made a name for himself by owning the Seattle Supersonics. He is, by and large, the person most blamed for the Supersonics moving to Oklahoma City. It's safe to say the people of Seattle have not gotten over that one. We talk to Supersonics legend Gary Payton and sports broadcasting legend Kenny Mayne about all things Schultz.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
