Beyond The Press

An Austin Reeves game winner can ignite a teams confidence and sometimes can be the turning point in any teams season. Does this get the Lakers going? Are the Washington Wizards ever going to be taken seriously? They are one of those teams in the league that no matter how good they are it doesn’t matter.

Kyrie Irving is returning!? It’s only fitting that his new shoe and merch is dropping as reports announce Kyrie starts the process to return, whatever that process is. Do we actually see Kyrie playing on the Nets?

Steph Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, officially breaking the record in front of Ray Allen and Reggie Miller at MSG. Steph changed the game, the NBA revolves around “shooting” - teams pay a premium for it. Jaron proclaims Steph Curry as top-5 all time!

Jaron is on the road again, this time to Spain, and his focus is getting another W. The Ulm are back on track and looking hot again and we are here for it. The debate comes back to the battle of the West between the Suns and GSW, but the real hot take comes at 10pm Germany time when Jarron Blossomgame officially jumps ship from his beloved Lakers. It’s not good for his health. These current Lakers are picked apart by J and D - the question that’s left; is this the end or can this team somehow make it back? And even bigger, is this the end for Lebron?

Jaron is back from his quick trip back home. We hear all about his Clemson homecoming and if he ate any turkey. The guys talk western conference, specifically the Suns winning streak and take a look at what could be a Western Conference preview when they match up with the Warriors. On the East they deep dive into the struggles of James Harden and what seems to be holding back the Nets. The NBA Champs are fifth in the East now adding Boogie Cousins to their team - will this be what the Bucks need to make up for an injured Brook Lopez? We make some predictions, talk KD’s ashy ankles and debate if KP can push the Mavs ahead of the Lakers in the end.

Jaron is coming home for a few days and it comes at the right time as Ulm are on a tiny slump, and Thanksgiving with his family (the first time since before college) is just around the corner. He won’t be able to avoid the turkey, or the love when he heads to Clemson on Friday.

The guys move from the east coast to the west and all the news out of California. They get into that Lebron hit - and if it was intentional or not and the drama that has been surrounding this. The legacy of the Staples Center and if that fades when the arena gets renamed. The golden path that Golden State is travelling on and they dissect the Kings who may have fired Luke Walton, but are far from having their problems solved. What else do they need to do? The emergence of Tyrese Maxey; Daryl Morey/Ben Simmons update; and a quiet case for Paul George as MVP.

A new episode and a whole lot of shade as D comes in hot defending his ability to ball and Jaron coming in off a three game win proving it. The guys go all the way back and talk Jaron’s AAU days and one of his best memories of his team at the Nike Peach Jam.

How does it feel when your jersey is retired? What goes through your head - Jaron will be able to tell us first hand as his jersey will be hung at his alma mater, Clemenson later this month.
The guys chop it up on what happened in the league this week; what’s the real deal with Ben Simmons; Is it time for the Celtics to split up Tatum and Brown for them to take it all the way; Golden State is dominating early, with Steph Curry showing that his best is the best ever and Klay Thompson coming off injury and talk is he’s already looking better than before; and what other teams are the ones to watch so far this season.

Today Jaron welcomes his new point-guard (aka co-host) Dhanung Bulsara - we can call him D -  and we already know this pair are iconic.  The guys jump right into a debate over NFL vs College Football, the amount of wisdom that comes with age and hindsight and we get to hear more on the politics and pressures of playing basketball in Europe, especially Jaron’s “road-warrior” team Ratiopharm Ulm. When you play in Europe you aren’t only just playing in one league, the pace is hectic, the competition is next level, and in this episode, you will get your “European Basketball for Dummies”.  In North America we only know what we know, but even here we have amazing leagues that have high calibre players.  Jaron and D get into some of these levels of play and how they are starting to get the respect they deserve.

Starting from ground zero, Elijah struggled to run without tripping over his feet. Attributing his work ethic and grind to his upbringing with his family constantly pushing him to be better.

Whether it’s pretty or ugly a “bucket” is a “bucket” and Elijah gets it. Rocking stripes, he’s a big Adidas guy, the comfort is undefeated.

Elijah is focused on making this year his final year in HS so he can get to college where he can be one and done and closer to his dream of the NBA. Getting to the “league” as soon as possible is the main priority, Elijah has already dreamed of draft night and all the details from his suit to who’s with him in the green room.

Modelling his game from the likes of Tracy McGrady, Dwyane Wade, and Kevin Durant he’s constantly watching film and studying the game right down to his future 1-on-1 game vs KD. Elijah Fisher is poised for the next step in his basketball career and can’t wait to show the world his “bag”.

Jaron sits down with Delon Wright of the Atlanta Hawks to discuss his basketball journey to date. He talks about why he committed to the University of Utah during his junior year, one of the worst teams in the Pac 12 at the time. Why his brother Dorrell Wright being in the NBA helped ease his journey. They also get into what it means to be a consummate professional and why the Toronto Raptors and San Antonio Spurs helped contribute to their growth.
