Will reacts to the Storm winning the WNBA finals and the media presupposing that the Lakers will win the NBA finals. That's an apt description of how this episode plays out. But then Will goes even further and examines the landscape of the NBA for next year. He predicts chaos and anarchy in the West with potentially only 3 teams from this years Western conference playoffs making it next year. I know that sounds crazy but is it?

Hangtime Jr: 2* New Champions

Hangtime is a round-table podcast hosted by New York Liberty center Kiah Stokes and comedians Will Poznan and Eagle Witt. Every episode they discuss the news of the week in basketball and in pop culture. Sometimes the discussion takes a tangent but it's always interesting and occasionally hilarious.

Basketball

Will talks about the hoopla over the NBA all star game and Asia Durr's covid fight, and he names the top ten NBA guys and Lebron is 3. I know that's crazy. And I know he's number one on everyone else's list. And I still have a lot of faith in the Lakers but he's not one of my top 2 guys. And Luka is not either. Luka is 10, and I don't understand people putting Luka higher than that. There. I said it.

Hangtime Jr: Top Ten NBA Players

Will gives his thoughts on the new NBA season, and which teams he believes in, and Lori Loughlin. If you hate basketball and/or Lori Loughlin you probably won't like this podcast.

Hangtime Jr: Shoutout Lori Loughlin

Will looks at the newest draft class, which he loves. And just talks about the favorites for rookies of the year, and which teams are smart. He is also the only person watching the NBA to posit the question why is it rookie and not rooky. I totally get why rookies is the plural but if you really think about it what other singular thing has an ie and not a y. Bet you weren't counting on reading that question in the bio but I also bet you don't know the answer.

Hangtime Jr: Parsing through the Roys

Will talks about the NBA Draft with the election in the background. Talk about mixed priorities. Is Lamelo Ball the Georgia of this draft? He is. But Will doesn't draw that specific parallel during the episode. He mostly just focuses on the basketball and then peppers in a few election rants. I don't know if they're technically rants.

Hangtime Jr: Prose and Pros

Kiah and Will talk about the WNBA season, the WNBA champion Seattle Storm, the NBA co-almost Champion Lakers and Heat and blaming Frank Vogel. Was too much blame put on the shoulders of Danny Green? What about Markieff Morris:? You''ll have to listen to find out. But in the episode Will lambasts Frank Vogel for not calling time out with four seconds left. After the pod Kiah let Will know that Vogel didn't have a time out. If Will had known that he would have pivoted to lambasting Vogel for not having a time out. What else is there to say? Lebron is great and game 6 is about to start!
