Mavs Outsiders

Bibs went through all of NBA history to determine the 75 GREATEST players to play in the NBA/ABA. Last year's results turned out great but there were tweaks made to the formula to see if the results could be even better. I am incredibly happy with the results and cannot wait for you to see the full list.

In part 2, I give you players numbers 70 through 61. I still want to keep these episodes pretty short and consumable and I think I did that. This episode lists our first active players and some other huge names you were likely expecting to hear at some point. Only one player from last year's top 52 fell to this range so you'll see who that was as well. 

Tap in with me as we go on this journey.

In this episode, Bibs and Reese are once again joined by a guest from the Mavs media world. This time it is the host of the Mavs Stepback podcast (@StepBackMavs) and writer for Mavericks Sports Illustrated (@MavericksSI), Dalton Trigg. This episode is a long one because we covered a lot of topics and did a deep dive into the upcoming NBA season. 

First, we addressed the Dallas Mavericks' most recent cuts, most specifically cutting the 31st pick in last year's draft Tyrell Terry. Both Dalton and Reese are Tyrell Terry guys so they had some thoughts on this topic. We moved on to discussing Dennis Smith, Jr. making the Blazers' final roster after receiving a camp invite. Finally, we had to ask Dalton a few key questions to gauge his feelings about the Mavs offseason. 

In the next portion of the pod, the three of us made our season awards predictions and you'll hear some names you may not be expecting. 

Finally, after Dalton had to leave, Bibs and Reese give you their NBA standings through the play-in teams and go round-by-round to give their playoff results.

This is a special edition episode of the Mavs Outsiders Podcast and we hope to bring you these regularly in the future. If you've been a follower of Bib's podcast since the solo days you may recall last year's GOAT series was one of the more popular entries. Well, the tradition continues as we prepare for the new season. 

Bibs went through all of NBA history to determine the 75 GREATEST players to play in the NBA/ABA. Last year's results turned out great but there were tweaks made to the formula to see if the results could be even better. I am incredibly happy with the results and cannot wait for you to see the full list. 

This first episode gives you some background on why the GOAT Series exists. I also gave you my methodology so you know how points were accumulated as well as who was considered for the list. I then give you the first 5 players. Numbers 75 through 71. I stopped there because number 70 and number 69 are huge names and cliffhangers are fun. 

Tap in with me as we go on this journey.

This week the Outsiders reached out to someone in the building to talk about the past offseason and the upcoming Dallas Mavericks season. Lauren answered questions about her journey thus far covering the team, then moved to questions about the offseason, goals for this upcoming season, what player she expects to have a breakout year. We covered plenty with regard to the moves the Mavericks made this past offseason before the tables were turned and Lauren got to ask us a few questions. 

Before we left, we got into some non-basketball things and got to learn what Lauren is into outside of basketball. Overall, this was a great conversation and Lauren will definitely be back at some point.

The season is ALMOST here, but as we know almost only counts in horseshoes, Russian roulette, and pregnancy so we had one more offseason pod. This week Bibs and Reese covered everything coming out of the Dallas Mavericks media day interviews as well as any top themes from the first week of training camp. Spirits seem to be high all around and with Carlisle no longer in the picture KP looks like a new man. Are Bibs and Reese buying into any of these early narratives or not? Find out by hitting play on this episode. 

There are a lot of juicy topics to dig into with this list. We dug into Jason Kidd's comments, Luka's, KP's, and Tim Hardaway Jr.'s. We talk about Frank Ntilikina, Moses Brown, and Trey Burke. You can almost taste the start of the regular season but until then. Here's one more offseason-type episode before things pick up in the coming weeks.

In this episode, Bibs and Reese address several Mavs Twitter hot topics from the past few days. The Dallas Mavericks had a quiet week up until Thursday when it came out via Brad Townsend that the infamous Bob the gambler was no longer employed by the team. Twitter had fun with that story, but then Mark Cuban went public and gave us more to talk about. There were several statements that Cuban made that sparked conversation but none sparked more than Cuban saying that Luka and KP's relationship is fine because they like each other's social media posts. Between Bob and the social media topic, that would have been just enough to justify an episode but then Twitter lost its collective minds when the ESPN player rankings came out and Luka Doncic came in at #4. Steph Curry, James Harden, and Nikola Jokic fans were outraged to see their guys land behind Luka in the rankings and took to Twitter to make it known. 

So we had to address that on the podcast as well.

In the latest episode of the Outsiders, Bibs and Reese welcomed a pair of guests who have been wanting to get on for some time. Jose and James may not still be doing their podcast but they still have a presence on Mavs Twitter. Jose and James had the opportunity to share their thoughts on the Dallas Mavericks offseason which allowed Reese and I to weigh in as well before we got into our other topics. 

First, Jose gave us his best hot takes which included talk about the new Nelly album, Jameis Winston's MVP candidacy, and Trae Young being better than Damian Lillard. Then we got into some hot takes from the audience. Rolo tells us that the Lakers, Clippers, and Nets will not be home-court teams in the playoffs. There was a convo on Twitter about Steph being a top-3 All-Time offensive player which we discussed in-depth. We got into the MCU talk from Twitter that Doctor Strange is a copy and paste of Iron Man (which turned into an MCU formula conversation). We also talked for a very long time about the era of good hip-hop being dead and the 90's-early 2000s being the height of the genre. We may have stayed on that topic for too long almost. We'll let you be the judge.

In this episode of the Mavs Outsider's podcast, Bibs and Reese reached out to the listeners for questions and received a lot of good ones. First, though, Bibs introduced his Mavs weekly news roundup. If you have missed the Weekly Forecasts then this will be a welcome new addition to the pod. After the news roundup, the guys got to your questions. As far as the Dallas Mavericks related questions, they answered questions that included: how did we feel about the way Wes and Deandre Jordan treated rookie Luka, what happens if KP isn't back to his best self this year, why do we have 6 centers, who could have a breakout season besides KP and Josh Green, the Mavs over/under, and what is the biggest key for the Mavs to get out of the first round. The guys also got into a lot of non-Mavs-related topics that included: When will the tampering investigations be concluded, what country would we visit if Covid wasn't an issue right now, why should someone watch Ted Lasso, what are our hobbies outside of basketball, and plenty more.

In this episode of the podcast, Bibs and Reese string together a myriad of Dallas Mavericks related topics that came up over the course of the week. After catching up for the week, the Outsiders get into the 3-team trade that sent Lauri Markkanen to Cleveland, Derrick Jones Jr. to Chicago, and Larry Nance Jr. to Portland. We specifically talked about the way this trade would impact the Portland Trail Blazers and what the Cleveland Cavaliers might have been thinking when they pulled the trigger. From there, we went on to talk about Jared Dudley being added as an assistant, KP's photoshoots, as well as Luka and the hookah. The theme of the week being "people need to stop overreacting" as all of these topics sparked way more controversy than is necessary. Finally, we talked about the Mavs making the decision to waive Nate Hinton as well as friend of the show Dalton Trigg sitting down with the other 2-way signee, Eugene Omoruyi.
