Locked In Podcast

The Ringer recently put out a top-125 NBA player list. We took this long just to discuss their top 25 and make our own, and ultimately realized what a truly mindless exercise it is to rank 100+ players in the league.

Jordan Poole needs to be arrested (but then immediately bailed out). Plus, we preview both NFL championship games. Two really compelling matchups, two absolute coin flips. Elite offenses, destructive defenses. Lock in.

The NFL Divisional round is here! Special thanks to Vishal for hopping on to talk Niners-Cowboys. We preview each NFC and AFC matchup, and touch a little on the Warriors-Celtics game at the end.

NFC and AFC West progress at ~midseason; how are these lads doing? Shoutout the boy Bunsee for joining to talk football + some salty Chargers exchanges with Ani.

New format! We simulate an NBA game in this episode format. Jump ball (0:48) features Draymond Green's max getting tossed up for grabs. Q1 (10:59) looks deeper at the Rudy Gobert trade and why this is such a gamble for Minnesota. Q2 (22:45) examines KD and some potential landing posts for him, as well as the recent Boston trade offers and how a Celtics team could look with everyone's favorite Twitter troll. After a quick halftime where Ani tries to sponsor us, Q3 (38:00) features some Donovan Mitchell talk. Is he a top-15 guy? Top-20?? Q4 (46:20) features us discussing two teams that were atrocious last season but could be fun/pretty good this coming season. Finally, in our OT segment (52:32) we discuss MLB stud Juan Soto refusing a $440M contract as well as an update on the F1 standings as the summer break approaches.

We are super excited to have Coach Nick from BBALLBREAKDOWN on the pod! His film analysis and coaching breakdowns have been a basketball YouTube staple for many years, and he's worked with players at all levels of the sport. We had great conversation, and please check his work out @bballbreakdown on all socials.
