Fast Break with Mark and Nick

Frosty the Snowman promised he’d be back again someday, and so have the Fastbreak Fellas with their latest and greatest episode! The topic of conversation is a player who isn’t a stranger to a chilly reception--the newly acquired Sixers center Dwight Howard.

From powerful dunker to awkward hugger to corny journeyman to savvy veteran backup, Superman has had more ups and downs in his career than the 2020 stock market. Don’t worry. This Fast Break career retrospective covers it all! Also, Mark demonstrates he hasn’t missed a beat this offseason with an off-the-backboard segment that will test your current knowledge of NBA events. Tune in, ball out, and end your 2020 with the best transition game in all of podcasting!

After battling against faulty WiFi connections and adjusting to watching NBA games earlier in the day, the Fast Break fellas make sense of the first wave of bubble games of the NBA restart. What does Mark think the league can do to improve the game-day experience?  Where did Nick go at Villanova to get food without leaving the campus “bubble”? From the familiar frowning on the Sixers performance to Professor Mark eloquently explaining the concept of “play-in games”, no bubble is left unPopped.

On the 25th episode of Fast Break, Mark and Nick finally have the Great Tony Allen debate to settle once and for all if there really are 5 NBA players who have demonstrated better perimeter defense than Tony Allen from 2009-2019 (Could it get any more specific??). Will Stangler joins the fellas to moderate the debate and ultimately determine the winner. Kick off your 4th of July Celebration by tuning into the greatest, and most random, sports debate you'll ever hear.

Kenny Smith may have declared "It's Over!!!" when Vince Carter threw down some explosive dunks at the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, but now it looks like Vinsanity's career is officially under wraps.  The fellas reminisce on the high flying dunk-robatics of Air Canada spanning a record four decades and discuss the likelihood of his entrance into the Naismith Hall of Fame.

It may be time to move on from Brett Brown. Does he deserve another year as the Sixers head coach? Before facing that reality, the fellas touch on the Sixers west-coast road trip, reminisce on Sweet Lou Williams, and riff on Nick's intramural basketball league (and injuries). Apparently, Mark also knows a thing or two about Spider-man comics. Lastly, big things are in store for future editions of Fast Break.

The fellas attempt to squash NBA beef as they determine if the recent "beef" between Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden is "manufactured" or "Grade-A". From there, Mark and Nick recall the variety of beefs that have been served up in the NBA landscape. From the medium rare to the well done, Mark and Nick talk about their favorite NBA feuds, and end up starting a beef within a beef. Along the way, they also fail to resist the urge to grill up some steak puns.

The fellas take their transition game to an interstellar audience with their viewing of the 1996 basketball classic Space Jam! As the movie plays from start to finish, Mark and Nick are there every step of the way to provide facts, anecdotes and the usual brand of random references mixed with deep intellectual thought. You don’t need to buy the DVD for this loony commentary, but the show is specifically designed for you to follow along with your own watch party! Grab some popcorn and welcome to the jam!
