In this episode, Coach Nygren and Ian sit down to discuss chippy play. Dort was all about it until Jokic came running at him. Is it time for King James to hang it up? Where does he stand in his year 23 season (it's not good). Do we have a surprise MVP? We think so. Thanks for tuning in as always and thanks for the love!

In this episode Coach Nygren sits down with Hall of Fame Coach, George Karl, to discuss Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association as well as how the game has changed and who might be the favorites in the NBA this season despite some injuries plaguing the league. 

Producers Note: I (Ian) got to witness this discussion and let me tell you it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen in person to watch these two discuss basketball. The light in their eyes was something to behold as they talked about the history of the game as well as basketball fundamentals and how the game has changed.

This week Coach Nygren discusses ref bias. Is Scott Foster out to get your favorite team? Are the Lakers in trouble? Maybe, maybe not.

LeBron wants to be on his couch with his family on Christmas Day. So do most people. Father time is undefeated. Tune in while Coach Nygren breaks down the 2025 Christmas Day game slate. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Who are the players that have "come out of nowhere" to help their teams and be contributing factors? Tune in as Coach Nygren discusses the players that are having an impact and earning themselves a job, a paycheck, and their respect. 

The city of Chicago was lucky enough to have the 90s with Michael. LA had Kobe. Lebron has visited a few cities. Denver has a chubby kid from Serbia. What do they all have in common? The Glow. You know how Bruce Leeroy (Leeroy Green) had The Glow in The Last Dragon? Nikola Jokic walks around the city of Denver with a similar aura. The one of a kind and last of a kind when it comes to things he does. Enjoy it, it won't always be around.

Coach Nygren and Ian sit down with Coach Malik Fletcher, star forward on the '93 Guilford Vikings boys basketball team in Rockford, Illinois (also former Head Coach at Denver South) to discuss high level basketball strategies in the NBA and early season surprises. Also, Chris Paul on Love is Blind? What? 

A rainy day impromptu episode with Coach Nygren. Early impressions and does the NBA have a bigger problem with fan perception amidst the breaking news of a gambling scandal? Are foul shots just foul shots or something more nefarious.

Predictions run rampant throughout the media and fanbases of NBA teams. Who is going to be good? Who will win it all? Who is the GOAT? The honest answer is...nobody knows.
