Combo is joined by NBA analyst Rick Kamla for a high-level hoops conversation packed with strong takes and debate. They break down why Victor Wembanyama could already be the most dominant force in the NBA, whether a Spurs championship run is realistic, and if a new dynasty is about to begin. The conversation also dives into one of the biggest debates in basketball today — is Nikola Jokic already greater than Shaq, and who is the most skilled center ever? Combo and Kamla also react to the current MVP race, Luka Dončić criticism, and whether narratives are shaping the way fans evaluate players. Plus, they give their “slightly early” NBA awards including MVP, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, and more — with a few surprising picks along the way. And to close it out, they debate which current player has the best chance to break Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point record.

In the clash of two MVP candidates, this game did not disappoint. The Celtics unfortunately fell 104-102 to the Thunder but played this game with no Tatum or White and it was as exciting as it gets down the stretch.

0:00 - What a HUGE win for you Denver Nuggets baby! Second night of a back to back. No AG. No Peyton Watson. Down by 20+ points. Doesn't matter if the Spurs didn't have Wemby. That was such an important game for the Nuggets. Everyone contributed! Cam Johnson, Spencer Jones, Julian Strawther, you name it. All hands on deck.14:49 - The Avs shook off the Edmonton loss by smacking the Kraken last night in Seattle. While the win is good, Brett has a more imporant takeaway from the game: Scott Wedgewood is this team's #1 goalie. No knock on Blackwood. But Wedgewood is just better.35:28 - The Jaguars Wunderkind Doogie Howser-looking GM (who's actually named James Gladstone) explained why they aren't being too aggressive during Free Agency. And his reasoning actually makes sense. Maybe the Broncos are doing the same thing?

0:00 - Even though the Spurs didn't have Wemby, that was a HUGE win for the Nuggets last night. A signature win. 2nd night of back-to-back. Down 20 points. They gritted their teeth and battled back. That's absolutely the mentality you need heading into the playoffs.15:18 - The new guys are having an immediate impact! Both Nicolas Roy and Naz Kadri scored last night in Colorado's thumping of the Kraken. (Put an asterisk next to Kadri being "new" but still). The pieces that the Avalanche added at the trade deadline are already contributing. Good, because the Dallas freakin Stars STILL WON'T LOSE! Avs need to keep winning like their life depends on it. Which it does.29:41 - Oh, by the way...Miami (OH) MBB had still better make the Big Dance even though they got bounced early from their conference tournament. Oh, by the way...Tage Thompson ripped 5 consecutive one-timers on the same power play. Oh, by the way...a golfer wasn't allowed to make his last putt of the day because the sun had already gone down too far. He has to wait until this morning to finish.

0:00 - Special guest star Chris Mitchell pilots the High Five today for Springer and Andy, featuring a guy who always has a job with Sean Payton, a guy who still has a home in San Fran, and some false trade rumors.12:03 - The Nuggets cleaned the Rockets' clocks last night, now they got a date with the RED HOT San Antonio Spurs who may or may not have Wemby available tonight. Are the Spurs a tougher matchup for the Nuggets than...the Thunder?29:32 - I'm not even gonna dignify this one with a real description NO, Springer! You will NOT get us excited about the Rockies! Stop it!Also, is the WBC on at the wrong time of year? What if they pivoted to the summer?

Justin, Rob, and J. Kyle Mann are back together, and they are here to take a look at some of the massive stories going on in the association this week. They start with Bam Adebayo's 83-point game against the Wizards and the discourse around his achievement. Then they talk about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander potentially locking up the MVP after his game-winning shot against the Nuggets. They also get into Victor Wembanyama leading the Spurs to wins in 16 of their past 17 games and talk about just how good they are. Last, they wrap up by discussing the Hornets and whether they are this season's Pacers.

0:00 - What a win for the Nuggets last night! That was GREAT seeing them run up the score against a good team on their home court. Ain't no rest for the wicked, though. They're in San Antonio tonight. The Avs are back at it against the Kraken in Seattle. A double dip-a-roo means we need to get a double KEYS-a-roo to the game. 13:38 - Fernando Tatis Jr pimped a home run in the WBC like we've never seen anyone pimp a homer before. And Brett is so here for it. We need more showboating in baseball.After that, the Avs keep winning...but so do the Stars! The Avs can't seem to reap the rewards of their wins. Things always get screwy when they play Seattle. You can't have that tonight. Shake off the Edmonton win and get right back after it. 31:27 - The Nuggets are headed to San Antonio for a back-to-back against the 2nd team in the West/one of the hottest teams in the entire league right now. The odds are stacked against the Nuggets. You might call it a good ol' "scheduled loss." These are the games that the Nuggets used to thrive in. This year, we're not sure. They've been very hit or miss with their backs against the wall. Even though Wemby may or may not play tonight (he's a gametime decision) it'll be a tough battle either way.

I still can't believe what we just witnessed. On March 10, 2026, Bam Adebayo didn't just have a career night—like it or not, he rewrote the NBA record books. Scoring 83 points against the Wizards to officially pass Kobe Bryant's legendary 81 and sit right next to Wilt Chamberlain is something I never saw coming.In today's episode of Buffed Up Sports, I'm breaking down:The Historical Context: How Bam managed to put himself in the same conversation as Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game.The "Ethical Hoops" Debate: 36 free throws?! We have to talk about whether this was a "pure" scoring clinic or if the whistle was a bit too friendly.Why Bam? Out of all the superstars in the league—Luka, Wemby, Ant—why was the Heat's defensive anchor the one to finally break Kobe's mark?Who is Next? Now that the seal is broken on the 80s, who is the next player to realistically threaten Wilt's 100?The A'ja Wilson Effect: With A'ja courtside witnessing history, I discuss if we're about to see her replicate this kind of dominance in the upcoming WNBA season.This was a night for the ages. Whether you think it was "ethical" or not, 83 points is 83 points.Drop a comment below: Do you think Bam's 83 is more impressive than Kobe's 81? And who do you think is hitting 80 next?#BamAdebayo #NBA #KobeBryant #83Points #MiamiHeat #WNBA #AjaWilson #BasketballHistory #BuffedUpSports

We open the show asking the big question: are the San Antonio Spurs actually a real NBA title contender this season? With Victor Wembanyama anchoring both ends and a deep supporting cast around him, the Spurs have turned a winning record into serious Western Conference buzz. We break down Wemby's growth, San Antonio's improved defense, their dominant home record and how they stack up against proven contenders. Plus, we discuss whether this rise is sustainable or just a hot stretch before playoff defenses tighten.If you want to support, every little bit helps!We appreciate SuperChats, or you can donate:CashApp: $TheFormatPodcastVenmo: TheFormatPodcast

The Celtics lose 125-116 to Wemby & the Spurs and this game was thrilling. Wemby is the real deal but the Celtics were still in a position to win this game. JB was playing excellent with 8pts and 7ast before being ejected early in the 2nd quarter which was some BS but we move on. White carried the team offensively not just scoring at will but doing so over and through Wemby A LOT! Ron Harper JR was also a stud in this game.

Most NFL trades hit a snag and suddenly everyone's story turns into a Netflix drama. Imagine waiting for a record-breaking Max Crosby deal—only for it to get derailed by a knee-jerk physical fail. Yep, the ripple effects of a failed physical can turn a blockbuster into a “bye-bye, all done” in seconds. If you've ever wondered how a physical can nix a trade and throw cap space, contracts, and futures into chaos, this episode is your front-row seat. We unpack the wild rollercoaster of NFL off-season moves—trades that almost happened, deals that shocked, and players who got paid way more than they probably should've. Get the inside scoop on the Raiders' gamble with Crosby, the surprising signings like Alec Pierce's jaw-dropping $114 million, and why GMs are racing against the clock trying to build dynasty-level teams with a short leash. Plus, we peek into the seismic shifts in UFC's fight card lineup—who's in, who's out, and why top stars like Islam Makhachev might just be "ducking" instead of duking it out. It's a wild mix of elite fighters, shady injuries, and Dana White's busy fingers trying to control the chaos while everyone else just wants to see their favorite fighters throw down. Why does the NFL's free agency frenzy feel like a game of chess played by kids? Because the patience for building a powerhouse team is shorter than a Snapchat story. Know why the Jets keep cycling through quarterbacks? Spoiler: it's all about that “win now” mindset, but the clock's ticking loud. Oh, and sports fans—if you think the World Baseball Classic is just a prelude to spring training, think again. Latin America's got a squad that hits bombs so big even home runs feel like fireworks. Meanwhile, the NBA's Wemby is out here throwing down dunks that make defenders look like they're in slow motion.Long story short: if you want the spicy, behind-the-curtains NFL gossip, UFC fight drama, and epic MLB home runs—this episode delivers all that with a side of sarcasm, wit, and a big smile. So hit play; the chaos is just getting started. Perfect for: NFL junkies, UFC superfans, sports gamblers, and anyone who loves chaos in short, punchy bites.

The Celtics fall to the Spurs, 125-116, in a measuring-stick game, but it was overshadowed by Jaylen Brown's ridiculous ejection. Derrick White played great, Jayson Tatum keeps getting back to being Tatum, Ron Harper Jr. exploded, and Wemby was an alien. But it's hard not to feel like we got robbed by the refs of a potential classic. Chud breaks it all down, talks about the iconic Jokic/SGA matchup, hits on Bam's 83-point game, and much more!Follow the show on Twitter/X:@ChuddysCorner@KingChuddy@Doug_Outs@_nickpirainoSHOP OUR STORE at ChuddysCorner.com/storeLeave us a voicemail at ChuddysCorner.comLike, subscribe, and rate the podcast!00:00 Introduction and Game Overview2:40 Jaylen Brown's Ejection Controversy11:14 Celtics Performance Analysis24:57 Around the NBA Highlights: SGA vs. Jokic & Bam's 8330:30 Closing Thoughts and Future Matchups
