The Box Out returns with all the basketball news to fit in an one hour radio show.

Reports surfaced that Phil Jackson and Kristaps Porzingis had a meeting where Jackson pretty much ignored the young Knicks’ star. Jason and Kahlil will discuss where everything stands between these two and whether Phil has anymore goodwill with anyone anymore.

The playoffs have went the way that many thought it would as the Golden State Warriors are awaiting their matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, once the Cavs close out the Boston Celtics. Have these playoffs been as bad as everyone is saying?

Celtics’ president Danny Ainge said in an interview that representatives of Lonzo Ball have told Boston that Ball will not workout for their team. Are Ball and his reps ruining his NBA career already?

That and more, including whether Stephen A. Smith is hating on Kevin Durant or is he right, on The Box Out.

Jackie Robinson is well known for breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball.  In this episode, we discuss Robinson's impact on America off the baseball diamond.  Katy Lasdow, Assistant Public Historian at the Brooklyn Historical Society, discusses the new exhibition “Until Everyone Has It Made: Jackie Robinson’s Legacy”.  

Daniel Yanofsky, New York Mets beat writer for Double G Sports, also joins the show to think of Robinson's legacy in context of the MLB today.  We chat everything from the retirement of Jackie's number in all of baseball, to what Robinson might make of the diversity in the game today.

Welcome back to The Big Apple Sports Hour we kick off the show with the shocker that was LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers suffering their first loss of the postseason. Give credit where credit is due as the Boston Celtics fought back from a 21 point deficit in the third quarter without Isaiah Thomas no less. 

Next, we'll dive into the New York baseball scene with CBS Radio-WFAN Host Demetri Adarahtas and he'll give us his thoughts on both the New York Mets and Yankees. 

Finally, Stopsky and G take a look at the NBA Draft as it pertains to the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets.

Kristine and Dan are back, and busier than ever. Topics for the show will include: Mayweather v. McGregor, UFC 211, Ring of Honor's War the Worlds PPV, Bellator and UFC Long Island. Finally, we will preview WWE's Backlash PPV.

The Box Out returns after an action packed week of basketball news.

The NBA Draft Lottery was Tuesday and as usual, the Knicks was left in the cold as they received the eighth pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. This comes after being slotted for the seventh spot. Where do the Knicks go with this pick?

The Brooklyn Nets saw their first-round pick go to the Boston Celtics as payment for the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce years ago. Jason and Kahlil discuss the lottery, including the Nets receiving nothing for their bad season.

We are in the conference finals of the NBA Playoffs and at this point, it seems that Golden State and Cleveland are in the driver’s seat for the NBA Finals. The guys will analyze what they have seen so far in the conference finals and whether both teams can keep up this pace.

That and more on a new edition of The Box Out.

It’s Thursday night and that means The Box Out on Double G Sports Radio.

Kahlil and Jason will discuss the playoffs up this point. The Cavaliers and Warrior continued their dominance over the Eastern and Western conferences respectively. The guys will discuss whether these two teams will walk into the NBA Finals undefeated.

The big conversation this week was whether LeBron James is now better than Michael Jordan. The Box Out will take on this absurd converstaion and give our views in this ongoing topic.  

Two more teams were eliminated as the Utah Jazz and Toronto Raptors are now on their summer vacations. Kahlil and Jason will look at what the future holds for those two teams, especially in Toronto with free agent point guard Kyle Lowry.
