Four-time MLB All-Star Justin Upton joins the show to talk about his rise from top prospect to veteran leader—and everything in between. We talk about hitting a tee shot in front of Tiger Woods, getting dunked on by Zach LaVine, and the journey of his baseball life. Upton gets real about the pressure of being a No. 1 overall pick, debuting in the big leagues at just 19, and how hard it is to flush mistakes in a game where one error can haunt you for days. Upton shares stories from his early days in Arizona, the clubhouse lessons passed down from his brother and vets like Tony Clark, and how leadership styles have evolved across generations. He also gives love to coaches like Bud Black, breaks down clubhouse dynamics on star-studded teams in Detroit, Atlanta, and San Diego, and opens up about being a Black player in a sport still working to diversify its culture. Other highlights: - Changing positions from shortstop to center field and the lasting impact - How veterans “wore out” young guys in the clubhouse - Insights on Shohei Ohtani's unreal routine - Reflections on parenting, pressure, and life after baseball-----------------HostsEric Hosmer /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @hosmer305⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mike Moustakas /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@moosetacos8⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Peter Moylan / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@petermoylan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Justin Su'a /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @justinsua⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Advertising & Partnership inquiries: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠diggindeep@moonballmedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MoonBall Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast

In this episode of The Royal Report I discuss the Kings' season ending at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks, the awful performances from Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis, and GM Monte McNair parting ways with the Kings.Sacramento Kings lose to the Dallas Mavericks 120-106

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting. The wiseguy round table does the annual Vegas wiseguy NBA Playoff draft !! conduct a unique NBA Playoffs team draft, each receiving $250 to bid on teams, with scoring based on playoff progression: 1 point for the first round, 2 for the second, 4 for reaching the Finals, and 8 for winning the title. Boston and Oklahoma City (OKC) are split into halves due to their odds outweighing the individual cap. Mackenzie wins half of Boston for $131, arguing their elite two-way metrics and experience justify the price. He notes Boston's 16–2 playoff run last year, strong net rating, and top-tier half-court efficiency. RJ and Fezzik counter with Cleveland's comparable point differential and challenge the strength of Boston's schedule in the East. Cleveland's hot shooting is scrutinized. Mackenzie explains their +18 clutch rating is extreme compared to the +4.5 average among playoff teams and unsustainable over time. Scott notes they played 38 clutch games, about average, while OKC's low number of clutch situations (24) reflects dominance. OKC's +12.6 point differential is the best in NBA history. They also had 38 wins by 15+ points and only 2 such losses. RJ emphasizes their resilience with an 18–10 record when trailing by double digits, far superior to the second-best 13–14 mark. Lower-tier play-in teams draw minimal bids. Miami goes to RJ for $3. Mackenzie critiques their 10-game losing streak post-Butler trade, Bam's decline, and poor offensive efficiency, though Spolstra and slow pace offer playoff upside. Chicago is seen as improved since trading Zach LaVine, becoming a top-10 team post-All-Star break. Bulls are split among three drafters for $1 each. RJ also picks up Orlando, who are 1600-1 to beat Boston, and praised for grit but dismissed due to weak three-point shooting. Boston led the league with 53.6% of their shots from three, the highest rate in NBA history. RJ gets Detroit for $3. Mackenzie notes they've been the most upgraded team in his power rankings and highlights Cade Cunningham's All-NBA case, but says they lack playoff-caliber depth. RJ grabs Milwaukee for $8, believing Giannis can carry them. The panel debates Lillard's availability; Mackenzie is skeptical, estimating the line implies only a 25% chance he plays. Indiana, led by Tyrese Haliburton, is drafted by Fezzik for $15 due to their strong seeding and Milwaukee matchup. RJ then wins Cleveland for $111, citing their historic shooting profile. They're the only team top five in both three-point rate and percentage. Mackenzie remains skeptical of their overall ceiling. Fezzik outbids the panel at $34 for the Knicks, but Scott highlights their 0-4 record against elite teams and suggests they've struggled against contenders. In the West, Scott makes a calculated move and takes half of OKC for $123. Mackenzie praises their evolution and improved playoff readiness. RJ wins the Clippers for $41, citing Kawhi's elite playoff form when healthy. Fezzik takes Denver for $63, stating he preferred the Clippers but couldn't risk being shut out. Scott grabs Golden State for $45 and the Lakers for $38, expecting both to have favorable paths if they advance. Mackenzie questions the Lakers' hype, citing shallow margins and overperformance against weak opponents. RJ wins the other half of OKC unopposed. The show closes with MVP debates. Jokic's season (52.5 combined PTS+REB+AST) surpasses all prior years, and media sentiment may swing votes his way. OKC's dominance and individual achievements are noted, but voter narratives and recent performances could shift ballots. RJ, Mackenzie, and Fezzik assess title probabilities and wrap with final rosters, confirming RJ and Mackenzie as high spenders and Scott's OKC acquisition as the savviest draft moment.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA betting for Tuesday February 3rd. The guys also give out best bets. Key Trades and Reactions 1. Lakers-Mavericks Blockbuster Trade (5:10 - 13:22) Trade Details: Lakers send Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick to the Mavericks. Lakers receive Luka Dončić, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris. Immediate Reactions: Rivers was shocked, comparing it to waking up in a new reality. Luka's potential as a top-30 player all-time makes the trade stunning. Why would Dallas trade Luka? Concerns over his health and conditioning. His commitment to the game was questioned by the Mavericks' front office. Lakers' Perspective: Luka learns from LeBron's longevity and conditioning regimen. Lakers' future is now built around Luka as the post-LeBron centerpiece. Mavericks' Outlook: Can Anthony Davis stay healthy? The odds shifted after the trade: Lakers went from 40-1 to 20-1 to win the championship. Mavericks dropped from 20-1 to 40-1. 2. Jimmy Butler to the Warriors (16:18 - 20:52) Trade Details: Golden State acquires Jimmy Butler from Miami in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Warriors also add a shooter from another team. Analysis: Jimmy Butler extends with Golden State for two years, $121M. The window for the Warriors is closing, but this move might extend it. Rivers isn't fully convinced: Warriors needed a Kevin Durant-level addition, not just Butler. Draymond Green is holding the team back. This trade makes them a playoff team but not a title contender. 3. Cavaliers Acquire De'Andre Hunter (22:24 - 23:42) Trade Details: Cleveland Cavaliers acquire De'Andre Hunter from the Hawks. Why This Matters: Hunter fits perfectly as a 3-and-D player. Cavs now have a strong starting five: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Hunter, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen. Comparison made to the Denver Nuggets' balanced championship lineup. 4. Bucks Swap Middleton for Kuzma (23:42 - 24:21) Trade Details: Bucks trade Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma. Analysis: Rivers isn't a fan of Kuzma. Bucks might have just made the move to cut salary and stay under the luxury tax. With Giannis now injured, the Bucks' short-term outlook is uncertain. Tuesday's Betting Insights & Game Analysis 1. Raptors vs. 76ers (-7) (25:41 - 31:18) Key Points: Joel Embiid is questionable but likely to play. Sixers' defense has been atrocious (30th in the NBA last month). Betting Pick: Rivers likes the Sixers (-7), believing they'll turn things around. 2. Knicks vs. Pacers (-1) (32:14 - 33:59) Key Points: Knicks want revenge for last year's playoff loss to Indiana. Betting Pick: Slight lean toward the Knicks due to their bounce-back potential. 3. Pistons (-3.5) vs. Bulls (35:18 - 39:24) Key Points: Bulls are surprisingly better without Zach LaVine. Pistons are one of the most improved teams with Cade Cunningham leading. Betting Pick: Manji likes the Pistons (-3.5). 4. Grizzlies vs. Suns (-2) (40:50 - 43:50) Key Points: Memphis leads the NBA in pace. Phoenix's defense is struggling. Betting Pick: Manji likes the over (238.5). Best Bets Mackenzie Rivers' Best Bet: 76ers (-7) vs. Raptors. Believes Sixers are undervalued and will improve. Munaf Manji's Best Bet: Grizzlies-Suns OVER (238.5). Memphis pushes tempo, and Phoenix can score. Final Thoughts The NBA trade deadline significantly changed team dynamics.
