NBA Crossover Chronicles

It's been a hot minute but after a break with work, moving and all kinds of this, that, and the other, Jono and Nathan are back on the mic doing what they love, ranking sports ball players! 

On this return to the Sport Section the guys have Part 1 of their NBA Top 50 NBA Players from the 2021/22 Season. 

Going in snake order Part 1 covers off the top 25, from picks 1 to 25. Do the boys agree for the most part? Which Centre brings the greatest divide between top 50 lists? Is Devin Booker a 'number one' guy? A surprising agreement for both guys at pick 12, and some Celtics, KD, Jaylen Brown chatter is had! 

The guys are stoked to be back and have future episodes coming up previewing the AFL Finals, All Australian selections, and of course part 2 of the NBA Top 50 so stay tuned for more!

Back in the chair, Jono and Saeg talk all the action from the opening 6 weeks of the AFL Season. Who has surprised us? Who has disappointed? And what did we get right/wrong in the pre season predictions? 

Teams in the spotlight include: Melbourne, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast, NORF, the hot starting Dockers and the Crum. 

Also on the agenda is the Rioli story and the umpire dissent rule and our thoughts on both the rule itself, and the implementation. 

We debate the merits of the play in tournament in the NBA, the benefit of good coaching in the NBA, and Saeg makes a bold NBA Finals prediction. And, of course, we talk about the fall from grace of the Brooklyn Nets, and Ben Simmons' life choices. 

All that and more on this weeks episode.

Max Verstappen is World Champion on the back of not only one of the most epic title deciding races in history, but one of the greatest championship battles of all time. 

Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and the drivers championship all came down to the last race, the last lap and the last few corners with Max coming out the victor. A race not without it's share of controversies, I'm joined by Nathan who was there at the track, in person, and esteemed English Gentlemen James to break down the race and championship decider in Abu Dhabi. 

On the agenda today we discuss the in person experience Nathan had, the lap 1 'no investigation necessary pass, Sergios incredible effort to hold Lewis up for an entire lap and all the craziness of race control, the safety car, and the restart with 1 lap of racing to go that led to Max Verstappen pinching victory from the jaws of defeat.

We discuss the influence of Drive to Survive on the fan base , and how the sport is growing, along with changes we'd like to see made regarding broadcast conversations between the FIA Race Director and the Team Principles as well as a send off for Kimi and how excited we are for the new regulations and new beginnings for Season 2022! 

All that and more on an action packed episode, following an action packed race.

Max or Lewis? Lewis or Max? The two championship protagonists head into this weekends final event dead level on points after the enthralling and controversial, inaugural Saudi Arabia Grand Prix event! 

Two red flags, 3 race starts, 2 penalties for Max, negotiations with the race director, and a pass in the final 5 meters for a podium; this race had it all! 

Nath Squared get together to break down this crazy race, to discuss each and every controversy throughout. Should Bottas have received a penalty for backing Verstappen up under the safety car? What exactly was that lap to the grid,  if neither a formation or a safety car to the restart? Was Max's move on the restart dirty, or hard racing? Should Masi be making deals on the pitwall? How did Lewis and Max come together on the main straight, and who's fault was it? And lastly should we do away with Red Flag luck? And who takes home the title next week in Abu Dhabi?!

All that and more on an action packed episode, following an action packed race.
