On Episode 6, we’re joined by 20-year NBA veteran Phil Weber. Arguably the NBA’s first player development coach, Phil spent 9 seasons on the sidelines with the Phoenix Suns under Mike D’Antoni. He was an integral part of the Suns’ back-to-back trips to the Western Conference Finals in ‘05 and ‘06, as well as, an offensive guru whose early adoption of analytics led to the Suns’ iconic small ball, run-and-gun style of play that jump started the modern NBA.

In the 1st episode of this two-part series, we dive into Phil’s national championship playing days under Jimmy V, his rise through the college coaching ranks from Florida to Hawai’i and everywhere in between, and, of course, his eventual ascent to the NBA under then-HC Danny Ainge. He even shares some personal stories about the legendary Kobe Bryant and his unique friendship with the Wizard of Westwood, John Wooden.

All this and much, much more on Episode 6!

On Episode 5, Christian is joined by Rob (aka White Chocolate) to discuss what it’s really like working in an NBA front office.

They chat about his humble beginnings as a basketball operations intern with the Philadelphia 76ers, and his eventual rise to prominence as a data analyst with the Miami Heat’s analytics department. And of course, they dive into a variety of interesting topics along the way - including the early days of Philly’s ‘Trust The Process’ era, what it was like during the Big Three’s quest for a 3-peat in Miami, and is LeBron really pulling all his team’s strings behind the scenes?

On Episode 4 of Around The Association, Bayesian Baller is joined in-studio by Rob (aka White Chocolate) and Trey Pettus to discuss all the blockbuster deals that went down at the trade deadline.

They address the Harden-for-Simmons mega-deal (2:35), the Wizards’ stealing Porzingis (24:48), the Kings actually trading Haliburton (34:55), and the Blazers’ questionable fire-sale (48:34). Plus, did the Lakers seal their fate by standing pat at the deadline (57:51)?

All this, plus much more on Episode 4!

If you’ve been wondering “wtf is Krause House,” then this episode is for you. Bayesian Baller is joined in-studio by Flex Chapman and Commodore (Co-Founders of the Krause House) to explain how they’re going to buy and operate a fan-owned NBA team as a DAO.

They discuss why the NBA is ripe for Web3 disruption, how Krause House differs from other “fan-owned” teams like the Green Bay Packers, and what benefits a community-owned franchise has over a traditional team structure.

They also save time for NBA talk, including Andrew Wiggins’ controversial selection as an All-Star starter plus mid-season bets to reach the Conference Finals.

On Episode 2 of Around The Association, Bayesian Baller is joined by former Butler basketball player Trey Pettus to discuss X’s, O’s, & analytics on some of the league's most interesting teams. Here’s today’s agenda...

• What’s your take on the state of the Lakers right now? Is all the criticism that Frank Vogel’s been getting warranted, or is there a larger issue at hand for this team? (3:00)

• What’s to blame for Golden State’s rough stretch? Do they have some legitimate questions they need to answer before you’d consider them a true title contender? (14:40)

• If Kyrie can’t play in half the games, can Brooklyn win the title? Or at some point is all this craziness (& injury history) going to catch up with them? (24:50)

• The Celtics are in 10th place despite having two of the brightest young wings in the league. Is this a Tatum-Brown issue, or a larger organizational issue? (32:15)

• Drafting the 2022 All-Star starters in the East & West! (43:00)

All this plus much, much more on Episode 2 of Around The Association!
