Jayson Tatum’s MVP-worthy performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers was electric. Tatum is making his case for why he is the man to beat this season. The Celtics are on fire, and Boston is sending a clear message to the Eastern Conference—they're the best team in the East right now.

Next, the guys break down the upcoming matchup between the Celtics and Wizards, previewing what to expect as Boston continues to assert their dominance. But it's not all smooth sailing in the league—Draymond Green's recent comments about Taylor Jenkins and his mix-up with Zach Eddy has stirred up some drama, and Travis and Ountae have plenty to say about that!

In a special segment, Travis reintroduces Ountae to the show, and the two reflect on Russell Westbrook’s monumental achievement: his 200th career triple-double. Where does Westbrook rank among the all-time great point guards? The hosts discuss his place in history and what makes him so special.

Then, it’s time for Wicked or Kick It! The guys judge NBA players’ outfits with a no-holds-barred approach. Dennis Rodman, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Paul George’s looks are up for review. If you like it, it’s wicked—if not, it’s getting kicked to the curb.

Finally, the hosts reveal their must-watch NBA League Pass games of the week. Ountae picks Warriors at Spurs, with Victor Wembanyama facing off against Steph Curry, plus a revenge game for Chris Paul against the Warriors. Travis is all in on Mavericks at Nuggets, where Kyrie Irving and Nikola Jokic will battle it out for supremacy in the West.

Tune in for all that and more on this packed episode of Hold My Banner, hosted by Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell! Catch 'Hold My Banner' every Wednesday and Friday on NESN's Youtube, Twitch, Facebook, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
