All Hoops

NBA reporter Keith Smith joined the All Hoops Podcast to talk about having the Disney World resort as the NBA's bubble city rather than Las Vegas. Smith, also a longtime Disney employee,  discusses how it could work and possible logistics involved. We also spoke about episodes 5 and 6 of "The Last Dance" documentary and why it would be a good idea for the Knicks to go after Fred VanVleet. 

In this emergency episode of All Hoops, we discuss the pros and cons of the Knicks extending general manager Scott Perry's contract for one more year. 

The New York Knicks have brought on former Cavaliers capologist Brock Aller to be new team president Leon Rose's right-hand man. CBS Sports' Sam Quinn joined All Hoops to talk about what Aller brings, his thoughts on "The Last Dance" doc and how the NBA's salary cap will be impacted amid the pandemic. 

All Hoops takes a look at episodes 3 and 4 of "The Last Dance," where we saw the rise of Dennis Rodman and bitter rivalry between the "Bad Boys" Pistons and Bulls. We also discuss today's NBA news after the league announced they are looking toward opening facilities in cities where stay-at-home orders are being lifted.  

The first two episodes of the "The Last Dance" documentary aired Sunday, leaving us to dissect Scottie Pippen's horrendous contract, Michael Jordan's sheer competitiveness and Jerry Krause's plan to disband the 1997-1998 Bulls team.  All Hoops contributor Justin Michael Jerome Carissimo joined us to give his top takeaways from the doc. We also discuss the Knicks' and Nets' plans for the future, Liberty's Sabrina Ionesco and what the NBA should do if they reopen this season.

With the upcoming release of the "Last Dance" documentary, Emmy-winning sports reporter Dyrol Joyner joined the All Hoops podcast to talk about his time covering the Bulls in '90s and Michael Jordan's six championships. He also gave us his takes on when the NBA should restart, Greg Popovich's next chapter and what's the Knicks should do. 

Credited with finding young stars such as Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris, former Nuggets GM Alturas Karnisovas was hired by the Chicago Bulls to lead their basketball operations. We discuss the move and what it could mean for the Bulls future. We'll also talk about the HORSE event plus the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame inductees that includes Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. 

The least of our issues at the moment, but the spread of COVID-19 will undoubtedly impact when the current NBA season will return. If it starts back up this summer, next season will presumably begin around Christmas time, possibly affecting what the roster will look like for the Tokyo Games. All Hoops discusses the possibilities and what the Knicks should go after this offseason.
