He’s coached in Israel, Germany, China, and Slovakia, and is the head NBA Development Coach at David’s Pro Training Center. Some topics:Ryan watches 5-10 hours of game film a day—including almost every moment he’s a passenger in a car. Why? Why he doesn’t spin the whiteboard around anymore.How new Pelicans coach Willie Green is like Ted Lasso.What he loves about Naji Marshall, Jarrod Uthoff, and Amare Stoudemire.How he is preparing for the G-League season.RECENT BRING IT IN EPISODES:FRIDAY August 20, 2021 Who’ll be dominating the NBA in five years?MONDAY August 16, 2021 Amazingly, there’s a player David loves more than Scottie Barnes.FRIDAY August 6, 2021 Henry’s latest piece on the new Netflix documentary on the Malice in the Palace and the winners and losers of free agency this season.MONDAY August 2, 2021 TrueHoop on Team USA’s odds of winning gold.FRIDAY July 30, 2021 They had a big old NBA draft, the Wizards and Lakers’ huge deal, Thorpe’s draft review, and a phone call from Damian Lillard.MONDAY July 26, 2021 David on Team USA’s loss to France in the Olympics.FRIDAY July 23, 2021 It’s a party!

Who’ll be dominating the NBA in five years? You know about Luka Doncic, Zion Williamson, and Ja Morant, but today on BRING IT IN David Thorpe has some more to throw at you. Devin Vassell can barely shoot but—hear David out—has a component of Kevin Durant’s game that makes his future as a scorer interesting. Tyrese Maxey has the chance to be a big Kyle Lowry.The favorites in each conference. (We call the show Fridays with Jarod, and after some bad wifi, for a few seconds it was literally Friday with just Jarod.)How much should players work on skill development vs. play basketball? Some players need to play way more. And a special subset shouldn’t play in the summer at all. Draymond Green, TV host.RECENT BRING IT IN EPISODES:MONDAY August 16, 2021 Amazingly, there’s a player David loves more than Scottie Barnes.FRIDAY August 6, 2021 Henry’s latest piece on the new Netflix documentary on the Malice in the Palace and the winners and losers of free agency this season.MONDAY August 2, 2021 TrueHoop on Team USA’s odds of winning gold.FRIDAY July 30, 2021 They had a big old NBA draft, the Wizards and Lakers’ huge deal, Thorpe’s draft review, and a phone call from Damian Lillard.MONDAY July 26, 2021 David on Team USA’s loss to France in the Olympics.FRIDAY July 23, 2021 It’s a party!

The U.S. men’s team opened the playoffs with a dispiriting loss to France. The French team is good. And big—a particular weakness of the American roster. But … isn’t an American team with multiple incredible defenders, Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, and Jrue Holiday supposed to beat France? David watched every second and has all kinds of thoughts:Starting two non-shooting bigs together made like easy for Rudy Gobert, who wanted to camp out in the paint. So long as that was the case, the U.S. offense would depend on hitting long jumpers, which often—but not always—works. Popovich stubbornly kept up a switching defense, which gave France an identity to pick their preferred matchup and pound the paint—at times with three bigs. With Bradley Beal on the roster things would have been different.Also, before you lecture Team USA about Hero Ball, understand that Popovich’s personal basketball journey, well before the NBA, begins with life as an intense and gritty defender and role player who was one of the last players cut from Team USA when politics led the team to pick more famous and high-scoring players instead. “He’s never forgotten it,” his close friend R.C. Buford told Jackie MacMullan a few years ago. That said, there’s all kinds of reasons for hope. Kevin Durant at center might be incredible for this tournament.Damian Lillard looked nervous, and passed in moments he would normally shoot. That won’t last. With a bit of rest, Khris Middleton could become an incredibly important player.Few if any rosters can frustrate Team USA in this exact way.RECENT BRING IT IN EPISODES:FRIDAY July 23, 2021 It’s a party!

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by taking a small victory lap following the Milwaukee Bucks' blowout victory over the Brooklyn Nets to force a Game 7. He tried to warn us that Kevin Durant would be unable to put together another Herculean effort on such short rest and that the Bucks were the pick not only to win Game 6 but to win the series outright. If Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton can keep up the solid play, Jason may be proven right. Later, Producer Rob G joins the show to help discuss the turmoil surrounding the Dallas Mavericks now that both general manager Donnie Nelson and head coach Rick Carlisle have been let go in the past few days. On the surface, you'd think that getting the opportunity to coach the best young player in the game in Luka Doncic would be a dream job for any coach. But, dig a little deeper and you'll see that the front office is in turmoil, owner Mark Cuban is very hands-on and Luka just might wield more power over his team than anyone this side of LeBron James. Good luck to any coach who thinks they can thread that needle. Finally, Meadowlark Media NBA analyst Tom Haberstroh swings by to discuss the uncertainty surrounding Zion Williamson and his future with the New Orleans Pelicans, why he would caution Zion about looking to bolt for greener pastures so quickly, why it's important to remember that Daryl Morey isn't the one who hired Doc Rivers as the Philadelphia 76ers head coach and may not necessarily feel obligated to keep him long-term, why he still thinks there are a ton of teams who would have interest in trading for Ben Simmons if he were to become available, why he believes Bradley Beal has the potential to become the second-coming of James Harden on the offensive end, why he isn't surprised that the Paul George-led Los Angeles Clippers are up 3-2 over the Utah Jazz even without Kawhi Leonard, why he believes Luka will be the one to take over for LeBron as the Face of the NBA, and much more!
