Podcast appearances and mentions of victor wembenyama

The All-Star break is over, and it's time for everyone in the league to get to work and maybe get some overtime. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are done with their own two-week break and are clocking back in to check on which teams are rising, falling, tanking, and flunking as we enter the last two months of the regular season. Are the Phoenix Suns, the most expensive roster in the NBA, already doomed by our accounts? How devastating is (or could be) for Victor Wembenyama being shut down by the Spurs after a blood clot issue? How are the Brooklyn Nets somehow winning games? Why does Riche have such a huge beef with Adam Silver after his cowardly answer about not intervening in the Luka Doncic trade? Riche and Adam also revisit their over-under win total predictions, who will win the Defensive Player of the Year award, the meaningless All-Star weekend, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 334 with the NBA-Team!

We open this week’s bonus show with a quick update on Kristaps Porzingis’s health as the NBA Finals roll on. Plus we get right into listener questions, as people want to know Rob’s thoughts about San Antonio possibly trading for Darius Garland to pair with Victor Wembenyama – and Rob loves that move if it indeed comes together. Scottie Barnes also offers relationship advice to streamers, saying to find a good girl at the Mall?! Who goes to the MALL anymore? We also talk about Father’s Day gifts and what Rob and Jenners prefer to do with that day, proving Jenners is acting way too old for his age. And with Darvin Ham back in Milwaukee on Doc’s staff, we break out the conspiracy theory that he’s getting set up to take Doc’s spot if this season doesn’t pan out. Rob also loved James Harden’s reaction to catching the bouquet at a wedding, and we all speak on the guys we know that will never get married.  Plus the bull named Party Bus that got loose at an Oregon rodeo has Rob reminiscing about how GREAT the rodeos are in Texas, which we had no clue about. Finally, after the woman who lost the speed walking medal for celebrating too early, we ask Rob about times he got caught celebrating too early.

Lots of great topics in this week’s bonus show, including Jalen Rose saying the #23 should be retired across the NBA in honor of Michael Jordan… and Rob and B-Dog strongly disagree on this one. We also have a debate about the players with the highest peaks in their careers, which leads to even more disagreement amongst the group. Plus Steph Curry made headlines this week by saying he might want to run for President one day and everyone has input about who could be his running mate and why politics is a bad move for popular athletes. Draymond Green thinks Victor Wembenyama is already a Top 20 payer in the league, which leads Rob and B-Dog to discuss how San Antonio can make the most of him while they have him. We close out with the Evan Fournier fine, which Rob says is normal as soon as an object is hurled into the stands, and after Paul Pierce was robbed this week, Rob shares his story about being burgled.

In Hour 1, Sprague and Will discuss the upcoming boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, whether or not Victor Wembenyama is getting annoyed in San Antonio, and more.

The Celtics are playing like a team that could cruise through the playoffs and into the Finals this year, putting up a historically great net rating and dominating in recent games. In this episode, we talk about the awkard play from the Cavs at full strength, as well as the Recent play of Victor Wembenyama over the month of February. We also talk about Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, and the direction of the Houston rockets, as well as some other rookie talk. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thedoubledoublepod/support

In the first episode back after the All-Star break, JJ Redick and Tommy Alter open up the mailbag to answer a bunch of listener questions. First, JJ address everything that occurred on ESPN's ‘First Take' this week and everything surrounding Doc Rivers (head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks), Patrick Beverley, and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant. Then JJ and Tommy discuss what we can expect from the Bucks the rest of the season and what are some traits that make the best head coaches in the NBA. They also have a great discussion on who the next face of the NBA could be over the next couple years: Victor Wembenyama, Jayson Tatum, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Edwards, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, or someone else? JJ also delves into some scheme, play, and concept questions as it relates to what he sees in the NBA and also what he teaches on his kid's basketball teams. JJ then builds a starting five of teammates he played with throughout his career, as well as a team with one player from each era to take down a team of aliens. There's so much more great stuff in this episode as well.

With no LeBron James, the Lakers were already set to paddle upstream against a resurgent Golden State Warriors that's looking to pass them in the standings. Combine that with an absolutely unconscious Steph Curry to open the game, early foul trouble for Anthony Davis, and a collectively cold shooting night from the supporting cast, and paddling upstream became the equivalent of trying to paddle across the entire Pacific Ocean using a golf club. A strong opening quarter and change from the Lakers was no match for the Warriors' ball movement, body movement, and strong work on the offensive glass. AD still managed to string together a strong night of 27 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks, but received way too little help on either side of the ball and Darvin Ham waved the white flag with about five minutes left in the game.Why the early folding of the tents? Because the Lakers have a game tonight at home vs. the Spurs that's now of exceptional importance. Hopefully, LeBron James will be in uniform (and if the Lakers are really lucky, Cam Reddish as well), but assuming everyone who played on Thursday suits up for this back-to-back, sending Victor Wembenyama and the gang home with a loss is a must. The Western Conference hasn't been cooperating with the Lakers all season, and Thursday was no exception. The Lakers aren't catching any breaks, which means they can't afford to mess up opportunities.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Despite a big night from Anthony Davis, the Lakers couldn't contain Steph and the Warriors.SEGMENT 2: The Lakers really need to win this game against the Spurs.SEGMENT 3: No. Seriously.

On the 274th episode of the Underdog NBA show, Tyler and Zandrick discuss the Knicks protest, Victor Wemby, and All-Star weekend! They begin by discussing a quick bit on the Super Bowl before moving on to discuss the end of the Rockets-Knicks game that has resulted in the Knicks filing a protest with the NBA. They then shift to talk about Victor Wembenyama after his 10-block triple-double before moving onto the All-Star weekend and picking the winners of all the contests. Finally, they circle back to the Super Bowl before signing off!

Joel Embiid's knee injury will knock him out of contention officially for the 2023-24 Most Valuable Player award, but the league is not low on candidates scoring 60 points or more on a whim... or is there just a select few in the running? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back to discuss an Embiid-less (and more intriguing) MVP race along with who the other awards contenders are. Who is going to win Rookie of the Year between Victor Wembenyama and Chet Holmgren? Does Tyrese Maxey have the M.I.P. award wrapped up? If there are so many good scorers off the bench, why is the Sixth Man of the Year race so lame? Riche and Adam also discuss trade candidates, the Zach LaVine injury shutdown, buyers or sellers, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 297 with the NBA-Team!
