BBALL BREAKDOWN Podcast

This has been a very long time coming: Bethlehem Shoals takes the time to join me on the podcast, to chop it up about laying the groundwork for NBA bloggers, his fondness for Darko Milicic, what puts the "super" in a "superstar (think we're going to tussle over this one), and how the current playoffs can shape legacies for the Cavaliers, Thunder, Warri weors, and the "gone fishin'" Clippers.

In this week’s episode, we talk about the fall of the Houston Rockets with friend Doug Beatty. We talk what it’s like to be a Rocket’s fan this season, Matt insults our guest right off the bat, and then we offer suggestions to “fix” and “motivate” James Harden. Then it’s Get @ Me Dog and beefs.

It's the return of the Instant Offense Podcast: Playoff style. I'm joined by ex-NBA big man with even bigger personality, Scot Pollard. Pollard spent 11 years battling with the best of the best in the NBA trenches, and I'm excited to talk Pacers, Kings, playing against (and with) Kevin Garnett, and he gives us an insider's view of the best big men he's battled. We also get his take on the current season and playoffs.

Adam Stanco's in-depth discussion with former NC State star and NBA player Chris Corchiani. Corchiani talks about his remarkable success in high school and in college as one half of the famed "Fire and Ice" tandem. The former all-time NCAA assist leader explains how how his bond with Rodney Monroe started over a fistfight and what made Jim Valvano so special, from his unique recruiting methods to his passion on the sidelines. Corchiani also reveals his mindset as a point guard, why he forgave an official who cost him an NCAA Tournament game, what playing with Shaq was like, and how he shocked an NBA head coach by telling him something no one had ever told him before.  On Twitter...

This is a MUST LISTEN, as Coach Nick invited his mentor Coach Al Bennett on the show to discuss the nebulous term "Basketball IQ." What does it mean to have it? Is it something you can improve upon? Who in the NBA has a lot of it? And does it truly help you be a better basketball player. We systematically break down the components of basketball IQ into clear parts, discussing each - and it's truly a great conversation.

Matt gives his ranking of the playoff teams by their bandwagon-ability. Jon and Matt also discuss Thibs hiring and Jordan Clarkson's off the court activities.

They're back! After learning about the Hinkie resignation in the rice fields of Thailand, Jon and Matt are back to discuss and say goodbye to everything about the Hinkie era and the future of the Sixers in this special goodbye episode. Way cheaper than therapy!

In Morten's absence, Bryan and Sarah discuss the current state of the Philadelphia 76ers after the resignation of Sam Hinkie, as well as which playoff match-ups the two wish to see this upcoming post-season.

Join Mark Heisler, Hoops Hall Of Fame Writer and currently writing for the Los Angeles Daily News, as he recounts his experiences covering Kobe Bryant from his rookie year til today.
