In this episode, we discuss Anthony Davis's big return to the Lakers and their new trade acquisition: Rui Hachimura. Will they be enough to guide them to the playoffs?

We also talk about Zion Williamson and whether or not his NBA All-Star selection was fair. 

Then, we draft the best bald players in NBA History… do we mean the best players who were bald or who had the best bald head? Tune in to find out.

We're back! It's the start of Season 2 and it's been a wild season so far. LeBron is still LeBron and the Lakers are still... the Lakers. Luka Doncic is taking over and Donovan Mitchell is right there with him, dropping 71 points this past week. But for some reason, these wild stat lines seem to happen every single day now. What is up with the league? Is there such thing as too much offense?

We talk the difference between these crazy offensive stat lines other past legendary games, like Kobe Bryant's 81 Point Game.

Then, we draft our favorite NBA Rookies so far this season and our favorite NBA Nicknames of All-Time!

We featured our friends Rob and Buegs, hosts of the movie podcast: The Avid Indoorsmen! They're lifelong Minnesota sports fans, so we had to get their hot takes on the newest Minnesota Timberwolves acquisitions.

We talked the Rudy Gobert Trade, the loss of Patrick Beverley, and got their predictions for the upcoming year. Then, we challenged them to a few rounds of movie/sports six degrees of separation.

In this episode, we interview Lakers Legend, Byron Scott. He's a 3x NBA Champion, Former Coach of the Year, and NBA Legend. Yeah, we're shocked too. We asked him about his favorite Kobe Bryant moments, his time with the Showtime Lakers, his thoughts on the current Lakers situation/the Front Office situation, and what it would take for LeBron to be considered a Laker Legend. Nicest dude ever.
